What stands out to me in the research carried out is that almost 90% of the interviewees are working and that 80% have been here more than five years. I raise these questions because of misconceptions which exist in terms of the profile of the people and the families who are here. They are already making a huge economic contribution. They are in our schools and have hopes and dreams and want to make a huge contribution to our future. Will the witnesses elaborate on this?
