  The Conservatives say they will push for salary thresholds for all work visas to be raised to £38,700, by tabling changes to the government's immigration bill currently going through Parliament. Shadow home secretary Chris Philp said the party wants to "bring to an end the era of mass migration".

The article from MSN discusses a proposal by conservative groups to increase the minimum salary requirement for work visas in the United States. Advocates argue that raising the salary threshold for H-1B and other work visas would prioritize American workers by ensuring that foreign workers do not undercut wages. This push comes amidst broader debates on immigration policy, with critics of the current system claiming it allows companies to hire foreign workers at lower wages, thereby displacing American employees. The suggested increase aims to align visa wages more closely with market rates, potentially reducing the incentive for companies to hire from abroad for cost-saving reasons. However, this proposal has sparked a debate about its potential impact on industries like technology, which heavily rely on skilled foreign labor, and whether it might stifle innovation or lead to a talent drain.
