Immigration Good For The Country?

Who is suggesting that EU nationals should be deported forthwith?

The discussion is about taking back control of our borders. Australia does that too!

Once you take back control of your borders, who will decide how much unskilled labour to allow in?

Bearing in mind, warehouse picker is an unskilled job. The immigrants see this as an entry position and not a career. A continuous flow of new entrants is required.

An uplift in wages here would cause a ripple of rising prices right the way through the supply chain.

You are getting mixed up. We arent too concerned about people coming to work here, they should be granted limited work visas. What we ARE concerned about is the additional strain they place on public services. Not to mention that there is utterly no security screening for migrants coming to this country hence the growth in eastern european gangs involved in organised crime and human trafficing. We are a soft touch and free healthcare and the like for these people needs to stop.
Exactly, controlled immigration with strict terms is what most sensible people want.

The ware house owner would tell the government he needs ex amount of folk, the government would screen them that want that work and let them in, they should pay into system for allocated time before they allowed nhs etc if loose job or break law bye bye back home.

If a business need X amount of foreign labour, fine, they can sponsor and be held responsible for them just as it is in the US.

Where are you getting the information on being a soft touch? Any research done on immigration to UK shows immigrants are net contributors to services such as NHS, perception is not proof and lot of perception without facts being thrown out here.

You do seem desperately concerned for the workload of the nhs. I assume that your return to school is to become a doctor or some such to do your bit for the greater good?

How much closer can I look? I live here non stop. It's how things affect me at the end of the day, not stats or headlines.
Tbh, I hadn't realised just how bad for racism rural East mids was, until stepping out with an eastern European :(
Ashamed isn't a strong enough word.
Sitting in France calling the uk racist ffs man wake up.

In Brittany I saw graffiti saying No English and English go home... the French are staunchly patriotic and nationalist, there is a larger racist contingent in France than the UK.


Where I live it doesn't come over that way, which, as above, is what is of interest to me. East mids definitely did though. Strange, as I did a few months with a Zim flighty and no one was bothered about her (well I told my dad before he met her and his first question was "she's not black is she?":D
Mind, you probably live closer to Brittany than I do and I've never been there, so couldn't possibly comment
