Will President Joe Biden’s new border measures be enough to change voters’ minds?
AP reports: "Polls have found immigration and border security to be a top issue this election year and one that has been seized on by former President Donald Trump and his campaign."
Six travailleurs sans-papiers découverts dans un restaurant buffet à volonté à Albi. Corvéables à merci et victimes d'exploitation 7 jours sur 7 pour un salaire de misère, ils sont traités comme des délinquants par la préfecture du Tarn, qui a essayé d'expulser l'une d'eux. Le resto est toujours ouverts. L'employeur a osé rappeler ses anciens employés pour les faire trimer une dernière fois https://www.lemonde.fr/societe/article/2024/06/03/a-albi-soupcon-de-traite-d-etres-humains-dans-un-restaurant_6237079_3224.html

Et la France continue de construire des CRA.
Les OQTF sont adressés de manière très facile et arbitraire
Le moindre grain de sable et c'est la clandestinité.
Meanwhile in social care the exploitation of migrant workers continues, with some experiencing debt bondage & treatment that is looking like 'modern slavery'.
The underfunding & understaffing of social care have come together to produce a toxic environment for workers which the state seems to have little (real) interest in addressing.
The good news is that nursing vacancies have fallen to a new low in England... the not so good news is this reflects the success of foreign recruitment (new nurses from abroad has risen five-fold in the five years to 2023).
While we can now (at least) fill the vacancies, this does not reflect (yet) any surge in training our own nurses, but continues our reliance on poaching staff from other health systems (which is not a great strategy, really).
"The Biden administration is planning to refer some migrants in Latin America for resettlement in Greece and Italy as part of another effort to discourage people in the region from traveling to the U.S.-Mexico border, two people familiar with the government's plans told CBS News."
The network reports: "To blunt a potential spike in migration, President Biden is also preparing to issue an executive action as soon as next week that would bar most asylum claims when illegal crossings soar."
The number of chefs coming into the UK on skilled worker visas has been rising quickly.... the bad news for the hospitality sector is once the new threshold for wage levels for visa applicants kicks in, the average wage of chefs means they will earn too little to get a visa...
Perhaps more interestingly if we compare chefs with software developers, we might suggest that the UK's strategy of more IT training seems to have worked... even if we seem unable to train chefs?
