The naivety on pro mass immigration side of the debate is so staggering. It’s like these people came down in the last shower. Maybe they genuinely live sheltered lives and have no idea what goes outside their own bubble.
Asylum seekers are not illegal immigrants and all are genuine refugees.
Are you for real? The vast majority are economic migrants, and there is an industry around them to make them into asylum seekers at taxpayers expense like government funded lawyers, accommodation providers and corrupt civil servants who make a living out of high illegal immigration. The asylum seekers, as soon as they get permanent resident go off on holidays back to their ‘unsafe’ countries. You can’t blame them for playing the system, any economic migrants from poor countries would do the same if you are a mug enough to let them.
Let the asylum seekers fill care sector jobs.
And you think they are here to work in care jobs? No, they work cash in hand jobs, not paying tax.
Another one that you used to hear was that those coming on the boats are doctors and nurses, just because there might have been one solitary doctor once, all of a sudden every doctor and nurse was on a boat headed to Britain. You don’t hear that nonsense as much now.
Immigration is good for the economy.
Total lie that has been debunked. Immigrants are net takers from the system, and immigration is making the country poorer. They are also over represented in welfare and social housing numbers. We are literally importing people to be dependent on the state. Like we don’t have enough people here already who are dependent on the state. Immigrants also tend to have much larger families and dependents including the elderly. Basically a pyramid scheme. To fill the care job, we need to bring in more people who need care and services, and more people to do the same, and on it goes.
Anti mass migration people are racist.
Some of the most vehement opponents of mass migration are second generation immigrants, that’s why they are over represented in the politics. It’s strange how the anti-racists are actually racist to these people because they don’t think mass migration is a good thing. Being called names such as coconut by those ‘anti-racists’.
If we don’t have millions of low skilled immigrants, who will do the care jobs. The local 6 million or so people who are literally being paid to sit at home by the ever shrinking net contributor population. Strange what happens when people don’t get freebies, they get working.
What will the universities do if we don’t have student visas as a back door to low skilled immigration. And yes it is low skilled. Coming in to do a pointless degree as a way to staying in the country is of no benefit to the UK.
Well, how about stop subsidizing Mickey Mouse degrees for the indigenous population. We don’t need to churn out mediocre graduates on pointless degrees at subsidized cost. And if they are so desperate to study these useless courses, they can pay full whack. The whole thing is a Ponzi scheme. Selling student visas to subsidize universities and universities turn subsidize low value degrees.
Britain was built on immigration. No it wasn’t. No more than any other country with minor amount of movement. Mass immigration is a thing that only really started in the last 25 years, as Britain actually becomes poorer and overtaken by other countries in economic prosperity.
Immigration is linked to climate change.
This new gem is trotted out when every other argument fails.
No, it’s not. It linked to uncontrolled open borders. But then again, if the people making argument have an ingrown toenail, they also blame that on climate change.
Immigration is a net drain on society and the economy. Some people are starting wise up to it.
