Whilst there is nothing wrong anyone working to better themselves, the shortages caused by employers that have failed to support training in these jobs allows them to be exploit the immigrants to maintain a downward pressure on wages. Every company that employs migrants under this scheme should apprentice two people in the trade that they are employing. One in the country that they operate and the other in the home country that has lost what in many cases a much needed skilled worker.
Employers have a duty to the community where they do business. They are using the past education, health care and public facilities, that nurture their business and allow them to become profitable. The communities that provide them with the environment receives very little for that.

The Politically small minded often try to make the point that immigration is a drain on our economy, the fact is that anyone who has used the benefits of the society we live should put something back. That includes employers who profit from the education of the workers that generate the wealth.
