Wahid, 50, from Sheffield, is in the catering business, and says he sometimes finds it hard to recruit people into higher-skilled roles. He asks Nigel Farage why he wants to cap immigration when there's already a "skills gap" in the UK.
Mr Farage says: "We're not training enough people to be engineers, nurses and doctors."
He argues we need fewer young people studying social sciences at university, and more people doing science, technology, engineering and maths.
He argues where skills gaps do exist, people should be given time-limited work permits. He says the "right to work and settle in the country is a different thing".
