      Similarly, my big first thought was “OK, what about that huge barrier for skilled local workers?”

        We know that bit. Local workers are too expensive and will leave if abused. They dont want local workers, so fuck them.

          Depending on the industry, it might also just be due to shortages of actual trained/skilled people, i.e doctors.

          Still, with that they’d still need to be properly certified to actually work here regardless of the hurdles in the immigration process itself
