Opher’s Solutions to the Immigration Problem.

Opher’s Solutions to the Immigration Problem.

  1. Obviously the first thing to do is rejoin the EU, to get our cheap labour, transient workforce back instead of importing more permanent  workers (and their families) from the other side of the world.
  2. Only allow workers who have a job into the country (this can be done under EU regs but the Tories did not implement it because they wanted to promote our exodus from the EU and thought this would soften it – they wanted the public inflamed).
  3. Process illegals quickly (not putting them up in hotels forever) so they can be shunted off back to where they came from or integrated into useful work thus taking the burden off the tax payers.
  4. Have routes where immigrants can legally apply and be processed without resorting to people smugglers.
  5. Provide schemes to properly assimilate and integrate immigrants so that they are not causing resentment among the native population (language and customs classes, schooling, support).
  6. Deport immigrants guilty of crimes or antisocial behaviour.
  7. Demand that all immigrants obey all the laws of the land and live by British values of compassion, fairness and empathy.
  8. Ban unBritish practices – genital mutilation, Burqas, Niqabs, child marriage, honour crimes, religious intolerance, spreading militant extremism (fascism and religious intolerance – and make it clear that any such activity (even when practiced abroad to avoid the law of the land) will be dealt with harshly with deportation and criminal proceedings.
  9. Ensure that immigrants are not seen to be given priority over the needs of the native population.
  10. Regulate the numbers and type of immigration so that it meets our needs without putting undue strain on services and infrastructure or upsetting the natives.

I think a sensible programme of compassion, empathy, and support, coupled with a clear, strong set of demands, strong reinforcement and action and a transparent set of values and expectations, would meet the needs of the country and take the venom out of the immigration problem.

What do you think?

My views: Immigration – the three options.

Immigration – the three options:

There is a great deal of controversy around how immigrants should behave and how they should relate to their host community. It is one that arouses great emotions on all sides. It would seem that the host community becomes extremely alarmed when their culture and way of life is displaced by large numbers of immigrants. Areas of the North of England seem to have been completely taken over by large numbers of Asians. The churches replaced by mosques, Western clothes displaced by Middle-Eastern/Indian costume. Many white people feel threatened and afraid to go into these Asian enclaves.

The same thing happened in other areas where large numbers of Eastern Europeans came in to take up field work resulting in a language problem and the opening of Easter European shops.

The endemic population felt threatened and forced out.

This tendency for immigrants to group together is a natural one. Being in a strange culture can feel threatening. Foreigners are often subjected to racism and threats. They group together for security and to have the familiarity of culture.

Ironically, the white population who appear to be most outspoken and outraged, are the same ones who are happy to go to Spain (and elsewhere) with their English flags and set up their fish and chip shops and English pubs, refuse to speak the native language and adopt the mores of the local community. There is a superiority and arrogance about it that is even more repulsive.

So how should immigrants behave? Presumably they came to the country because something attracted them? Should they then attempt to recreate the place they migrated from?

It appears to me that there are three options:

  1. Assimilation
  2. Partial Assimilation
  3. Retention of own culture and Apartheid.

In future posts I will address each of these options in turn.
