Australian Work Visas Sex Traffic

The Australia work visa is causing problems because of the sex industry. Korean women have been found working in brothels in Sydney for more than 20 hours per day. The women came to Australia on work visas which are apparently legal. The Anti Slavery Group want the Federal Government to do more.

It seems that the women were held in the Sydney brothel against their will. Exploitation is a big problem especially with the introduction of temporary work visas. Work Visas in Australia may need to be reviewed.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is saying that both wealthy and poor countries are being put under more and more economic strain because of migration. The OECD also commented that governments need to be taking a greater role in helping immigrants integrate within society and making more of their skillsets.

Tax Payment Needed for Migrants Entering UK

The Government plans to introduce yet another tax, this time for Foreigners who wish to enter the UK and its called “immigrant tax”. Its purpose seems to be providing funds for schools and hospitals used. Public service funding is always an issue with the government and the strain of increased immigration in the UK seems to be taking its toll on such services.

Immigrants coming to the UK will have to pay an amount of tax based on the assessment of them being a burden to the state. Younger skilled workers are likely to pay less tax than someone who is older and would need more health care, for example. Immigration numbers are of course still on the increase and MP’s claim in some areas of Europe that numbers are causing excessive strain.

It is looking likely that the tax level for immigrants entering the UK is likely to be around 10% of the current visa fee which could generate an extra £15 million a year for the UK government.

Growth in H-1B Visas

There has always been great focus applied to illegal immigration now more than ever so it seems. There should be more focus applied to foreign workers who are highly skilled. The US is restrictive on skilled foreign worker’s being allowed in with only 65,000 people per year gaining that essential H-1B visa.

Experts are saying there is a continued need to increase the number of H-1B Visas allocated if markets are to remain competitive in terms of technology and science. Foreign workers not only offer a great advantage to economies in terms of the work they can do but also their high levels of education are an important factor.

UK Immigration Better

Apparently the system of immigration is a lot fitter than it was in Britain according to Lin Homer who is the head of the border and immigration agency. The UK need not relax just yet though as her rating of 6 out of 10 for UK immigration services was less than impressive. However, the deportation of over 17,000 foreign prisoners does make a dent on the backlog of 52,000 cases.

Foreign workers who wish to work in Britain may soon find things much easier if some red tape is removed such as employer’s having to try and conduct testing to see of roles could be more locally assigned.

A new points based system for immigration is to be introduced this year and the “tier two” restrictions could at last be lifted for good.
