News reports are warping the truth about the current immigration policies here in the UK.  Please get the facts right before extolling the benefits of open door immigration policy!  Greedy industrialists would have us believe that immigration is great for the economy.

Immigration policies in the UK - A worker building a road

It may be great for their profits by keeping down wages, but for the country as a whole it is disastrous because each immigrant has to be housed, fed, watered, have medical care, their children educated etc, etc.  This is having a great toll on all services.

I bet also that at least 200,000 cars will be put on the roads by the 600,000 immigrants we've received since 2004.  Low wages to immigrants means they pay few taxes and contribute little to the provision of services they expect as a matter of right.  They don’t have enough spare money to pay into pensions and so will depend on welfare in later life.  Therefore employers are thinking short term - money into their own pockets and to hell with the aftermath on society.

Also it is said that immigrants are doing the jobs the British will no longer do?  Now, in large parts of Britain where there are few, if any immigrants, British people are doing all these jobs.  Legal immigration at the present projected rate will lead to a requirement of about 1½ million houses in the period 2003 – 2026.

There is growing resentment among the native population of whom 70 – 80% would like to see a tougher immigration policy.  The ethnic population is also concerned about the direction of events.  A majority of them (55%) also wish to see tighter immigration control.   A majority of the population (69%) feel that Britain is losing its own culture.

It’s time to start looking at the reality; the people want to halt immigration in its tracks and the government need to re-evaluate existing policies before it is too late.  When are countries going to look after their own people instead of dumping them on other nations?

Nice one Steve
But I am surprised you havent been branded a Racist that seems to be what happens when people try to make the informed comments as you have

I would only add that if the low paid jobs are so hard to fill make the wages more realistic and add the cost to the people that are using those services.
We all need a living wage but we won't get it by using foreign workers
We should have a policy like Germany where they are Guest Workers or better still make it as in the USA that the only work available to foreigners seeking employment are jobs that there is no unemployed English person available to do it
Employ our own First

"RC now you are just making a fool of yourself. You''ve seriously swayed from the issue making absurd silly comments and remarks."


"By the sounds of it." When you are reading the post does it make a sound, what can you hear?


Yeah right!

RC now you are just making a fool of yourself. You''ve seriously swayed from the issue making absurd silly comments and remarks.

If you have nothing constructive to add to the issue then go elsewhere.

Keep off the drugs.

You mean to say you can't hear? I believe spending your days hanging around public toilets for lack of anything better to do can make you go deaf. Now dont be like George & flash your winkie at the passing parade. That can makes you brainless!!

RC,

You typed in your post, "By the sounds of it." When you are reading the post does it make a sound, what can you hear?

Which school did you not attend?

There's nothing wrong with George whatsoever. He appears in the odd comedy sketch now and then and he can laugh at himself.

Big Tone,

By the sounds of it you spend alot of time hanging around public conveniences which obviously makes you an authority on the subject.

I bow to your superior knowledge!


PS. Mates with George Michael by any chance?

This is in reply to JDK,

You need to open your eyes my friend cos you are in a bubble and a big one at that.

A very close friend of mine is a builder by trade, he has been laid off for 'aliens' are doing the job cheaper at all standards.

They are the biggest bunch of thieves on the planet! One Polish worker actually stole his boots from the hut and had the brass neck to stand next to him the following morning! He couldn't do anything for they will all appear from nowhere, stick a knife in you and they will protect his escape back to his homeland.

He's had his lunch taken from the truck and have them eat it in front of him.

They have not one ounce of integrity in their body. They have grown up thieving and being deceiptful and this is all they know.

JDK - You are a toss-pot! You are annoying. The kind of person I imagine to be sat in a gigantic stately home, sat upon a green velvet couch farting all day.

Please do not take this the wrong way but, go and put your head in a bucket.

The richest countries in Europe are Luxembourg and Switzerland. How come they are not overflowing with immigrants? The reason is that those countries do NOT welcome immigrants. They keep them out, well out.

Indeed why aren't the boats leaving our country full up? They should be.

If someone does a job for less, that's because they do it with less quality. The job, indeed, is worth less. They do it with less skill and professionalism. Problems will be manifest years later in our economy resulting from all the cheap shoddy work that is being done today, all the cowboys and cheapskates.

Work in China in one of the new factories in Shanghai is little less than slavery

RC,

Who made you keeper of all opinions? Who do you think you are to regard other posts as crap?

I've read more valid points on a public convenience wall at a service station on the M6 than those posted of yours.

You have two brains of which one is absent and the other is out looking for it.

'I admire the Germans and what they did.'

'To the Crusading Knight of Porkshire',' Why are the boats leaving the country not full' & all these other bigoted Neanderthal pissheads regurgitating crap on this post, wake up & smell the Roses!
The laws of supply & demand rule! If someone does a job for less, thats because its worth less!
If you have been getting paid 100 quid for a job & someone does it for less then tough! Compete or die! Why are China & India about to become the worlds No 1 economies? Because in those countries, work is a PRIVILEDGE,not a right!. They do not winge! Its 2008! If you dont like what you're getting paid then do something else! It was immigrants who made the US, Australia,Canada & New Zealand great, not a bunch of work shy unionists! We need more Asians in this country, not less! They are the future entrepreneurial class, good luck to them! What you don't understand is that these people are here purely because nobody is either willing or able to do the work that they are prepared to do. Not at ANY price! Trust me, if I had a choice of employing an Asian at GBP 100/hr or a local yob at half the rate, I'd still employ the Asian. Its amazing how they never get sick, even on FA Cup day, or have 50 sets of grandparents who are always having funerals!

As for that so called Crusading Knight, get real! The NAZIS did not make Germany. They DESTROYED Germany, along with half of Europe! On account of them, we nearly lost more than half of Europe to the Soviets. I think you are the trash that has to be gotten rid of in this case!

Please, please, please enough crap!
