Dato: 18.11.2024 Svartype: Med merknad I respectfully urge a reconsideration of the proposed restrictions on family immigration for elderly parents. Many of these individuals have dedicated their lives to raising and supporting their children. Permitting family reunification would honor their contributions and uphold our moral obligation to care for our elders. Elderly parents often suffer from loneliness and emotional distress when separated from their children and grandchildren. Reuniting families provides invaluable emotional support, alleviates feelings of isolation, and significantly improves overall mental well-being. Strong family connections are crucial for maintaining happiness and quality of life. Families can offer personalized care, including physical, emotional, and medical support, often surpassing the capabilities of external care services. This approach is often more compassionate and effective. Moreover, family reunification can yield economic benefits. Elderly parents share valuable skills and knowledge, easing the burden on working-age family members. Their presence enriches family dynamics and fosters stability. I implore you to prioritize humanitarian considerations in immigration policy. Reuniting families aligns with universal values of compassion and empathy, acknowledging the significance of familial bonds and the inherent dignity of older individuals. Thank you for considering my perspective on this important matter.
