Oh please do mind yourself. I came into this country on a work visa that I then converted into permanent residency and eventually citizenship. I'm half Indian - half Bangla and a woman who moved to the UK entirely on my own knowing no one here. Built a whole life. So I do love people explaining immigration and integration to me. Do you really think a few minor scandals erodes the reality that this country is the most welcoming and well integrated for immigrants by a mile! There's immigration scandals everywhere - it's just life, no one gets it right all the time. Only the urban intelligentsia who desperately need a cause and see immigrants as one they can leverage - would quote the facts you've shared with me as indicative of poor immigration policies and a lack of cohesion. There's far more separation between the classes in this country than between immigrants and everyone else - and that isn't Tory led but just a fundamental flaw in this society which is also very unique to the UK. Labour will just increase the divide.
I can work wherever I want, live in areas anywhere in the UK except maybe very rural ones and see other people of colour, who aren't just serving me as in most other countries, but actually neighbours, down in the pubs and out in the parks. I don't have to live in separate suburbs or only amongst my own. No child of colour or from other parts of Europe will be i marginalised in most schools here - except one again more rural communities where even an urban white child would be an outsider. I can bring in skilled people I want on work visas far easier than my counterparts in Germany or the US.
And yes, some immigrant groups have struggled, just like some working class white groups have struggled. That isn't just on the Govt but the communities themselves - not everything is political. One group of immigrants isn't treated any differently to the others by any Govt.
As for vulnerable groups - sure, more can and should be done. But I don't see labour doing much different because there just isn't enough money! I don't see benefit caps as a bad thing personally but have a different view of vulnerable. Not everyone on benefits is truly vulnerable and the fact so many immigrants can come over and build lives for themselves show it isn't a lack of jobs or opportunities or money. Our education system is obsessed with uni being the be all and end all which is archaic and immediately diminishes those who haven't been, there is far too great a dependence on the state providing, which isn't practical for the size of country, population and no gift of natural reserves like a lot of other welfare states have. But Labour won't be solving any of it because left wing policies never lead to growth in this country.
