Immigration in the UK, does a hierarchy of foreigners exist?

Does where you come from make a difference?
Is there such a twisted double standard that people don't even notice they are conforming to it? What if I were from a country other than Canada? Would people still stare at me in public when I speak?

The immigration policies in the UK need to be stricter, if only to give the immigrants here a better reputation. I am a Caucasian, blue eyed, English-as-a-first-language immigrant to England – married to a British man.

| 18-7-2008 | The words English and British are being used as though they describe the same folk. Being British means that you are entitled to a UK passport. The English are those who live in the British Isles and are the offspring of the Germanic tribes who invaded these islands between the 6th and 9th centurie...more | Edgar |
| 28-5-2008 | I absolutely agree with Paul. I am an immigrant. But I am not a migrant workforce, if you see a difference. It happened I live in UK now and I only want to live like a normal ordinary family. Our son was born here, I really hope him to become the person to be proud of, despite the nationality we cho...more | Me |
| 26-5-2008 | Do not knock Rule Britannia's comments as 'outward racism' unless you are able to explain precisely what you mean by that. To me they seem like a voicing of commonly held sentiments, and expression of a sentiment per se is not racism. If that makes me racist in your view then I'm...more | MikeP |
| 26-5-2008 | Sadly this is so very true. The British (and I am a brit!) seem to have a false image of the word 'immigrant' even though it stretches so widely. We hide under a shield of democracy, when we so clearly still struggle with a multicultural nation. The fact is, most immigrants are not 'taki...more | Aimee |
| 27-4-2008 | Immigrant hierachy:
Anyone that speaks english as a first language / anyone from an economically developed country in Western Europe.
Anyone from Eastern Europe
Anyone from the Middle East or Africa
Thats the way it is.
If you are at the top you are not a real immigrant.
If you are in the mi...more | Rule_Britannia |

Let's just clarify something. What makes sense to me and others may not make sense to you because of a difference in views, or due to your i...more | MikeP |

| 11-4-2008 | Sorry you think we are not so accepting to other races/cultures of immigrants as we are yourself, and sorry about people calling you an American [what an insult! ;)
I suppose you can make a class system out of everything, and you being skilled, educated and English speaking does make you better. ...more | Paul. |
| 04-4-2008 | People you have to respond - vote for independance parties - the main-stream parties represent the same policies dressed up differently. Politicians rely on manifestoes that they know they will never have to honour and on the apathy of the British electorate. Wake up - it is our country, but we have...more | Deliverance |
| 02-4-2008 | The government's response to the report shows just how arrogant and out-of-touch it has become. I detest Gordon Brown and his government so much. It is time for him and the rest of them to go, although who the hell they will be replaced with I don't know. I doubt that a Tory government wo...more | norealdemocracyintheUK |
| 02-4-2008 | The government has now been given a report which says, in a nutshell, that this trend of mass immigration has no benefit to the country, and yet they want to step up the number of immigrants. Robbing Mugape and his retinue of thugs and his evil wife will no doubt be on a 'plane soon from Zimbab...more | MikeP |
| 02-4-2008 | Simple - Stop all immigration today for a six month period and them resume with strict controls.
The current stock of immigrants do not even pay road tax or insure their cars - no wonder they can undercut local wage levels.
Ditch the European Union & Human Rights and bring home all UK troops f...more | Deliverance |
