I knew before checking that Polanski was too young to have elderly parents or to anticipate old age. (I also have to wonder whether he has or anticipates having kids.) No one with experience speaks with such contempt for these vital, highly professional workers whose low pay reflects the labor intensive nature of their jobs. I also wouldn’t want to be married to him. Weird that his partner works in palliative care.
“Whose low pay reflects the labor intensive nature of their work”
What does this mean?
The fact that such people are so poorly paid always felt like one of the most unsatisfying and troubling aspects of our economic settlement to me, although I’m fairly economically illiterate I’ll freely admit.
Depends on whether the immigrant has the same (or similar) rights and privileges as a native-born citizen or a legitimized foreign-resident (freedom of expression, freedom to associate, freedom to litigate, etc.). Otherwise you're creating a captive population of second-class citizens.
P.S. I'm from the U.S. so the question of "legal" versus "illegal" immigration is a major issue here; don't know how it's like across the pond.
