are immigrants taking our jobs/ harming the british public chances

And it's strange you cite Japan. You know the Japanese are not dealing with their ageing population problems by allowing in immigrants en masse. Certainly not at the levels we have seen in recent decades in this country.

Maybe immigrants will do a better job and are more passionate to work than your average lazy British person.

Indeed, our population is ageing. But immigrants age too, and some may decide to stay here permanently. And then what, even more immigrants?

A huge part of Japan's problem arises from their xenophobia because they won't accept the immigrants that they need. They're facing a crisis because of it.

Often, the people blaming immigrants for 'stealing' jobs from the British are the ones who are 'all talk' and no action. A job will go to the highest suited applicant and a lot of immigrants tend to migrate here and posses better skills and qualifications than some people in Britain. A lot of people who are unemployed, on benefits tend to be unmotivated and they believe they are entitled to more than what a job entails. Most people on benefits tend to stay on benefits as they won't have to pay tax etc but if you complain about receiving a job, you can't expect one to pay everything off. You work hard and receive what you earn and deserve.

Immigration, despite it's hatred can have a positive effect on economy, especially those who are wealthy and invest in London's properties and businesses.

Wrong, the Birth Rate has actually been on the rise and even the TFR for White British Women has risen considerably since the lows of the early 2000's. Births outnumber deaths and so natural population increase still occurs. Immigration is also vital to the growth rate but please don't state things that are wrong.

In living in a foreign country you learn the language pretty quickly so the language barrier is only a temporary problem. Immigrants also tend to take the jobs which are less popular, so they benefit the economy. Perhaps, in 50 years time, the person who discovers a cure for a fatal disease or invents something new and revolutionary, would have been an immigrant at this time. If we educate immigrants, than in the next generation we will have new doctors, nurses, teachers etc.

Do they benefit the economy? Yes.

- You have people who go to the UK to work on high paid jobs. They will pay a lot of tax and positively contribute to the economy. If employers are ready to take the risk to spend a lot of money on them, it means that they have skills that cannot be find at home and are westernised.

- You have people who go to the UK to work on low paid jobs, which are still better than their wages in their native country. If employers bring them in the UK, it means that they can be paid less than native Brits. As a result, they won't pay much tax and will live in ghettos, since they cannot afford to live in a better place; they will also prefer to stick with their network of fellow immigrants so they can better cope with living costs.

- And you have people who go to the UK because life looks better there. They are not educated, don't have skills, sometimes don't even speak English, so they don't have a job and live in slums.


All these people are immigrants, but only the first category is worth it. Overall the net contribution may be positive, but it would be much better without the latter two categories.
