In order to work here the foreigner
needs a work permit, which must be applied{{U}} (31) {{/U}}by his
prospective employer. The problem here is that the Department of the Employment
has the right to{{U}} (32) {{/U}}or refuse these permits, and
there is little that can be{{U}} (33) {{/U}}about it. It would be
extremely unwise{{U}} (34) {{/U}}a foreign visitor to work without a
permit, since anyone doing so is{{U}} (35) {{/U}}to immediate
deportation. There are some{{U}} (36) {{/U}}to this rule, moot notably
people from the Common Market countries, who are{{U}} (37)
{{/U}}to work without permits, and who are often given{{U}} (38)
{{/U}}residence permits of up to five years. Some{{U}} (39)
{{/U}}people, such as doctors, foreign journalists,{{U}} (40)
{{/U}}and others, can work without permits. The problem with
the Act is not just that some of its rules are unfair but{{U}} (41)
{{/U}}it is administered, and the people who administer it.
An immigrations official has the power to stop a visitor{{U}} (42)
{{/U}} these shores coming into the country. If this happens the visitor has
the{{U}} (43) {{/U}}to appeal{{U}} (44) {{/U}}the immigration
appeal tribunal. While the appeals are being considered, the visitor has no{{U}}
(45) {{/U}}but to wait sometimes for quite a long time.
Critics of the law say that immigration officials treat the{{U}} (46)
{{/U}}visitors badly, and appear to accept or reject them for no{{U}}
(47) {{/U}}reason. Which side of the political {{U}}(48)
{{/U}}you are on, there seems to be an urgent need for a good look at the{{U}}
(49) {{/U}}, for it{{U}} (50) {{/U}}frequent argument, and in
the eyes of many real injustice.
