00:00UK care homes face ban on overseas recruitment under migration plans.
00:07A sweeping shake-up is on the horizon for UK immigration.
00:12Home Secretary Yvette Cooper is leading a bold charge to slash net migration,
00:18with care homes now caught in the crosshairs.
00:22Plans to shut down overseas recruitment in low-skilled sectors
00:25are already rattling employers and migrant communities alike.
00:31Please don't forget to read the full version on our website.
00:35Link is in the description and pinned comment below.
00:38In today's video update, we cover the ban on overseas recruitment for care homes,
00:57the government's focus on targeting lower-skilled visa categories,
01:01newly introduced deportation measures for foreign offenders,
01:05and the tightening of work and student visa rules.
01:08We also explore the broader labour market reforms and crackdown on sponsor misuse.
01:15Watch till the end to see how these changes could reshape the UK's immigration landscape
01:21and affect employers, students and visa holders alike.
01:32Let's begin with ban on overseas recruitment for care homes.
01:36The government will end care worker visas for overseas applicants,
01:42urging providers to recruit from existing migrants or those on other visa types.
01:47Cooper argues it's time to rebuild the local workforce.
01:52Next, we examine targeting lower-skilled visa categories.
01:56Without setting an official migration cap, Labour plans to slash up to 50,000 low-skilled visas in the next year.
02:06Employers in hospitality, care and other sectors are expected to feel the pressure.
02:14Moving on to new deportation measures for foreign offenders.
02:18Foreign nationals convicted of any offence, not just those sentenced to prison,
02:25will now be considered for immediate removal, including those who have recently arrived.
02:30Crimes like knife attacks and sexual offences will trigger automatic refusal for future visa applications.
02:38Then, we explore tightening work and student visa rules.
02:45Work visas for non-graduate jobs will be strictly time-limited,
02:49while foreign students will face stricter stay rules after graduation.
02:54Allegations of an A-level English requirement were denied,
02:58but greater fluency will still be enforced.
03:01Following that, we look at labour market reforms and sponsor crackdown.
03:08A labour market evidence group will investigate industries heavily reliant on migrant labour.
03:16Sponsors repeatedly failing to hire UK residents may lose their recruitment rights altogether.
03:25Finally, we wrap up with conclusion.
03:27As labour sharpens its immigration stance, sectors long dependent on overseas workers face uncertain futures.
03:38For migrants, stricter rules and fewer paths to remain may soon become the new normal.
03:45That concludes our video.
