I believe there's a gap right now where certain migrant workers do have a pathway for long-term and permanent residency, yet many of the workers in the agriculture and low-wage streams do not have that opportunity, and I find that discriminatory. I believe they make a vital contribution to your economy. Therefore, they should be given the opportunity to go for long-term...if they so wish. I'm sure that many workers do want to go home because they have their families, but those who wish to make further contributions should be given that opportunity. As they pay equal amounts of tax, they certainly should be entitled to all the benefits that citizens enjoy.
