Dear Sir,
Please put a freeze on work permits for one year. Bermuda obviously has nowhere to house new immigrants. They put up Fairmont Southampton workers at Warwick Camp. What did these people put on their work permits? No fixed abode?
How ridiculous and stupid can one government be, issuing new work permits during a housing crisis? Government needs to hire qualified people with grey matter between their ears.
Do you know how many qualified Bermudians are sitting out there on the sidelines, while Government continues to bring in new immigrants?
There are Bermudians sitting on the sidelines in finance, investments, hospitality and construction.
You get my point.
