NISHTA MAUREE SAYS SHE IS SCARED FOR THE FUTURE OF HER FAMILY WITH LOOMING VISA COSTS
Nishta Mauree came to the UK (https://www.standard.co.uk/topic/uk) from Mauritius in 2006. During that time, she has only used the NHS (https://www.standard.co.uk/topic/nhs) once: to give birth to her baby daughter in 2022. And yet from Tuesday, she faces a bill of more than £1,000 every year just to access basic healthcare (https://www.standard.co.uk/topic/healthcare).




The Hackney mother and charity worker is among tens of thousands of migrants (https://www.standard.co.uk/topic/migrants) that will be affected by a 66 per cent rise in the immigration health surcharge (IHS) from February 6.

Extra costs should have been introduced years ago.

Back in 1954, President Eisenhower introduced a bill called "Operation Wetback", which was to rid Mexican workers and others that weren't authorized to be here. What go's around comes around?

She has been there since 2006 and hasn't become a citizen, it's time for her to leave.
