UK Migrants' Help

Thousands of EU migrants are working on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic in the United Kingdom, as doctors, nurses, carers, porters and cleaners.
Others are still out every day, stocking supermarket shelves, driving buses.
A points-based immigration system announced earlier this year sets a minimum salary threshold at 23,040 pounds ($28,755) - meaning low-paid "key workers" would be unable to stay.
The average salary of a care worker, a sector that relies heavily on migrants, is well under 20,000 pounds; hospital porters and cleaners earn even less.
