'Why is Shabana Mahmood, a Labour Home Secretary making life harder for migrants doing all of the things they've been told to?'
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is expected to unveil her final plans for tightening immigration rules next week, amid reports that concessions could be made for social care workers already living in the UK.
James O'Brien reacts to the news and takes on 'anti-immigration rhetoric' in the UK and the US.
