Bear there is far more chance that immigrants going through a proper entry process, coming to the UK with jobs that the UK needs will contribute to the UK.
Unfortunately many immigrants have not meaningfully contributed to the UK at all because there has been an off set between the need for a car washer, the contribution to our economy that car washer makes. Off set by the social issues caused by too many people crammed into one house.
Police attendance, social workers, the cost of violence to NHS. Many people have seen such things so trying to tell them that every single immigrant needs to be here is rubbish.
I don't blame anyone for bettering their lives. My goodness if we could raise our family up and go somewhere else to earn vastly more for doing the same job we would do it.
That's not thier responsibility. It's our governments responsibility to make sure any immigration benefits the UK.
I don't think fee movement of people benefits the UK it doesn't work for us
It makes sense in mainland Europe!! I can see why it makes sense there, but... Even so maybe it doesn't make security sense, maybe it doesn't work on other levels?
I'd much rather equal open immigration from the whole world.
We managed to survive before working rights were dropped by Blair. We have never needed the levels of immigration that we have now.
Talking about pesky immigrations really turns people off discussing anything.
My own family is multi cultural, we are spread round the world lived in many other countries. This was mainly before workers stuff dropped and when you could only move and live somewhere else if you had something they needed.
We have no records, idea of the massive under the radar immigration to the UK at all. So those relying on stats just show how woefully out of touch they are on this issue.
