Dismay and anger over Labour’s visa plans | Letters

Florence Graham, who works in the NHS, on why she fears she will lose her job and her home

As an immigrant working in the NHS on a health and care visa, I am dismayed, disappointed, angry and terrified by Labour’s immigration reform proposals, due to their potential impact on me, on other immigrants and on all British society (NHS could cease to function under Labour’s new visa rules, say nurses, 6 October).

Until the immigration white paper was published, I naively assumed that anti-immigrant sentiment was restricted to the Tories and Reform UK. When Labour came to power, I felt tremendous relief and a budding sense of safety and optimism. I soon learned how naive I was. Betrayed and used, I now fear that I will lose my job and my home.
