[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 9203255, member: 818"] Approximately 15% of the UK's population was not born here. You can add in a fair few more who were born here to parents who weren't. Its not a tiny percentage. And it only takes demand for a service to be a few % higher than the supply for the service to start to degrade pretty quickly. The data shows that immigrants vary wildly in the contribution they make in tax vs the amount they take out in public spending. The basic rule of thumb is that immigrants from other western countries are net contributors, while those from non-western countries (including former Soviet bloc countries) are net consumers of public funds. Which makes sense - the immigrants working in care homes for minimum wage will be paying very little tax, but taking plenty of healthcare, education, and benefits spending out of the system. If we were importing lawyers, doctors and scientists immigration would be a net positive. Instead we are importing minimum wage workers who are net drawers from the system, which is why its collapsing. Some useful data on the differing wages that immigrants generate here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://dailysceptic.org/2024/03/05/do-all-migrant-groups-contribute-the-same/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
