Re: Should we limit immigration?
I think qualifying immigration would make more sense. Britain needs highly qualified knowledge workers
in order to remain competitive, not another million of off-license or fried chicken shop keepers. This would also
alleviate pressure on social support systems as highly educated people do not require support. -
Re: Should we limit immigration?Its "fewer" not "less". You should take your own advice and learn English.(Original post by number1student)
I was wondering what you guys thought about limiting immigration abit more in the UK. Especially, as we have a recession- we have less resources and less jobs. Or screening immigrants apart from asylum seekers to make sure that they speak good english and they are able to integrate. Although, immigration is positive to a certain extent, the problem we have in the UK is the lack of intergration.Last edited by Maker; 04-06-2012 at 15:34. -
Re: Should we limit immigration?The majority of British people are a net drain on our GDP...(Original post by Frube)
I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of immigrants where a net drain on our living standards.
When you factor in how much the welfare state provides to people in this country such as the free schooling, benefits, social programmes, not to mention healthcare which Immigrants need more than others its obvious only a small number actively increase GDP per capita and benefit us. Not to mention social problems
Far too many migrants are here simply taking low end cleaning or minimum wage jobs which should be going to UK unemployed, not the mention the cash in hand untaxed black market which is huge. It really does sound like "They took our jobs" but that's the truth.
There are too many people in the UK already. -
Re: Should we limit immigration?Put it this way. I'm Mixed race, and I think this is a terrible idea. You've simplified this to the point that its almost humourous that you think it's this simple(Original post by Sharpshooter)
Nope the world is becoming mixed race, let it.
I like the aspect of social engineering to immigration. I think its better for humanity if we all became "coffee coloured" or to that effect within a certain amount of time. It makes it better for humanity to live together.
Lots of immigrants integrate properly and we have plenty of space still. -
Re: Should we limit immigration?Plenty of space... as in the farmland we need to feed our people, and environmentally sensitive National Parks..(Original post by Sharpshooter)

Re: Should we limit immigration?Not sure it's the majority but a fair chunk are without question. Many immigrants contribute far more to the UK than many of those borne here.(Original post by james22)

Re: Should we limit immigration?
It would be so great having everyone the same. That way if a asteroid hit and filled the atmosphere with dust thered be no light skinned and ginger people who can make enough vitamin d from little light. Or if the ozone got messed up thered be no dark skinned people who could go outside. Lets do away with variation altogether. Everything we know about nature says its a good idea.
Why does politics turn people into monumental ****wits? -
Re: Should we limit immigration?
I think that whatever the basis of an immigration policy, it should be properly and speedily managed. So those whose wish to migrate to the UK and whose application is accepted can be working not waiting, and those whose application is not can leave the country, resume their life elsewhere and this be enforced.

Re: Should we limit immigration?Adjusted by capita, white Britons are the most ethnically active peoplein the UK, so you are wrong.(Original post by viffer)

Re: Should we limit immigration?And most of the land left in England is either green belt, arable farmland or flood plains.(Original post by No Man)
Yes, considering that England is about to burst like a water balloon, and that most of the land in Scotland/Wales can't be built on. -
Re: Should we limit immigration?Immigration is already limited, and there has been a strict points based system in place.(Original post by number1student)

Re: Should we limit immigration?
We still have 250k net immigration every year. Which is good because I like that and think it should continue.
IMO multiculturalism is good for Britain, and mixing up Britain racially is also good. Diversity is Britains strength and NOTHING ELSE matters. The 21st century will be defined by stuff like this and needs to happen.
