The public are ‘sick to death’ of the immigration ‘free-for-all’, Robert Jenrick warned yesterday after the Mail revealed how crooked legal advisers run cash-for-visas scams.
The Tory justice spokesman hailed our ‘crucial’ undercover investigation which exposed how companies are charging up to £22,000 per person to provide ‘skilled’ jobs in the UK for underqualified foreign workers.
The Mail probe discovered a range of brazen tricks being used to dupe the Home Office into providing sponsorship licences which enable convenience stores, barbers, warehouses and bars across the country to bring in overseas labour on false pretences.
It is so lucrative that many firms have been started up just to profit from hiring foreign staff and then exploit them for cheap labour.
Immigration advisers working as fixers for the firms coach immigrants on how to lie to officials, overstating their levels of education and experience to secure the visa.
