mass immigration is a hyper capitalist policy

mas immigration adversely affects the poor of britain as it undercuts wages an squeezes the job market.

mass immigration = more cars, clothes and television sets sold etc...
mass immigration = higher competition for jobs, depressing wages and living standards, but yielding far greater profits for big business

You're not much of an economist.

Nope, I choose to live in reality, not bull**** fairyland.

The amusing cartoon you just posted suggests otherwise.

Because most left-wingers (in any meaningful sense) are pro-social justice and internationalist, and don't confine ethics to the nation-state. Immigration is moral and compassionate. It improves peoples lives.

arn't political parties supposed to look after their own poor people?

but, i say to tories reading this. put this persons quote on your leaflets and post it up north. you may have breakthrough up there finally........

Even if you accept the debatable economic premise that low-income workers are significantly harmed, the argument [against increased immigration] fails on moral grounds. It flunks the famous ''veil of ignorance'' test of John Rawls, the quintessential liberal philosopher who stressed protections for the least fortunate members of society. Social rules are fair, he wrote in ''A Theory of Justice,'' if you would endorse them without knowing what your position in society would be.

Suppose you were setting immigration policy from behind that veil of ignorance. Which of these would you choose?

(1) Restricting immigration to protect some of the lower-paid workers in America from a decline in wages that would be no more than 8 percent, if it occurred at all.

(2) Expanding immigration to benefit most Americans while also giving some non-Americans living in dire poverty the chance to quadruple their income.

You don't need to slog through ''A Theory of Justice'' to figure out this one.

I wonder what this young lady thinks of mass immigration?

I'm sure (if she is an individual of rationality and sensibility) she maintains her position irrespective of those events because (A) I doubt she knows the nationality of those miscreants and (B) Sensible people don't make general views on particulars which hold little relevance to the greater picture.

It's analagous to me being hit by a person with a bagpipe in the street and maintaining vehement anti-irish feelings as a result.
