For years, the NHS has been training too few medics & nurses but this has been covered by utilising trained staff from overseas (some would argue thereby damaging health services in poorer countries by luring away their trained staff)...

but now migrant medical staff are beginning to shy away from coming to Britain due to the general anti-migrant rhetoric & (new/revised) immigration polices.

This leaves the NHS with a worsening staffing problem!

Marine Le Pen définitivement condamnée pour diffamation envers la Cimade. La patronne des députés RN avait accusée la vénérable association d'aide aux migrants d'organiser "la filière d’immigration clandestine en provenance des Comores" et d'être "complice des passeurs" à Mayotte, lors d’un entretien diffusé sur BFM en janvier 2022. La Cour de Cassation a confirmé cette condamnation.

NEW REPORT: Digital immigration status is causing deep anxiety.

Migrants are reliant on a faulty system to prove their right to live and work in the UK.

A fear of making mistakes and dealing with errors costs them greatly in their daily lives.

"The [UK] Home Office failed to assess the risks that a digital-only [eVisa] scheme brings, particularly for those who are vulnerable, older, or disabled. It is also misleading in its assessment of the scheme as digital by default.”

The open letter also argues that the UK Home Office failed to assess or mitigate:

🔴 Risk of face images being used for matching, automated checks or shared with third parties that may combine them with other datasets.

🔴 Risks to people without smartphones or who are digitally excluded because of disability, their age or socio-economic reasons.

🔴 Risks to people subject to partner coercion.

The UK Home Office has failed migrants.

The eVisa scheme is founded on an incomplete and misleading Data Protection Impact Assessment, meaning foreseeable risks were not mitigated.

ORG has brought together 19 civil society groups to call on the ICO to formally investigate the resulting data protection breaches and accessibility issues.

The Leftist Cooks: *Borders and Immigration*

"What would our world look like without borders? A video on the history, politics, and human impact of global border regimes. How we manufacture “illegality,” why borders create inequality, what an abolitionist future could mean for all of us. Right now, borders reinforce capitalism, racial hierarchy, and imperial power structures, and we think that a world with free movement is not only possible, but necessary."

The UK eVisa scheme has unravelled with avoidable consequences to the lives of migrants.

One thing the Home Office can do is to introduce a secure physical backup that's accessible offline in the event of digital system failure.
