I, personally, feel ambivalent. Mass immigration is undoubtedly a problem. I do have problems with the way certain groups of immigrants have taken over various areas of Britain. It creates a feeling of having been displaced. I do have a problem with intolerant, exclusive religions (Muslims, Christians, Hindus and Jews are, to my perception, all guilty). I detest the brainwashing of kids.
I would like immigrants to integrate and fully accept British values.
On the other hand I greatly value the cosmopolitan richness of culture, art, dress, dance, theatre, music, food and architecture that other cultures bring to our society.
I’d like a good balance.
Too much immigration creates a feeling of being overrun and I believe this is exactly what Trump and Reform have been tapping into. They have exacerbated this by demonising immigrants. They portray them as scroungers who come here to live off the dole, and, paradoxically, people who are ‘stealing’ our jobs. They are portrayed as evil drug dealers, murderers, rapists, paedophiles and killers of our pets. They are taking up places in our schools and hospitals, receiving preferential treatment with housing and putting great strain on our systems.
The reality is far from that. Until they have been processed immigrants are unable to work. They receive a subsistence level of support of £47.36 a week (try living on that!) and a room – usually in a hostel.
Immigrants are brought in as a ‘cheap’ workforce. They work in the fields, factories, care and hospitality on very low pay! They work hard and do the jobs that others really do not want to do.
Populist politicians portray them as dangerous, work-shy, scroungers who are costing us a fortune and getting preferential treatment. The truth is far different. They are hard-working and greatly contribute to the economy.
One only has to look at the reality. An immigrant before being processed costs us £2,464 a year. The VIP lane of the Tory Party gave out lucrative contracts of billions to their chums. Eg. Lady Mone received £200 million for PPE! Her scam alone would have supported 81,184 immigrants.
The problem with the country is not immigrants. Brexit alone is costing us an estimated £37 billion a year! That’s enough to pay for 15,015,221 immigrants! That’s right 15 million!!
The problem with BROKEN BRITAIN is not immigration; it’s government corruption, Brexit and billionaires/millionaires scamming us! Yet we support the very scammers who have ruined us – Johnson, Farage and Trump!!
Mass immigration needs solving for social cohesion reasons. You don’t solve it with walls; you solve it by dealing with the wars, corrupt regimes, repressive regimes, climate change, poverty and social situations that create it.
Mass immigration didn’t break Britain – the corrupt wealthy along with the Tory and Reform parties did that!
Idiot illegal aliens work as under the table employees. What a dumb ass. They export US dollars sent to their families abroad. Idiot.
Stereotyping and racism. Many different types.
Opher doper dumb ass learn to write a complete sentence. You vile illiterate fool. Two word stereotyping and racism, followed by three more words Many different types … Idiot neither this nor that qualifies as a complete sentence.
