Why do you dislike immigration?

That's just stupid. Many immigrants speak English to a high degree as well. My father was an immigrant and you wouldn't realise that he's not a native speaker. A Polish girl I'm friends with moved to England a couple years ago and she speaks English very well, although she has a slight American accent as they taught her American English in Poland. People shouldn't stereotype all immigrants.

I don't like many immigrants. The concept of immigration is ok though, if only immigrants and British policies enabling them were better.

How many immigrants have you actually met and sat down and had a chat with though?

Wait are you mad? And who even repped this? I'm from Birmingham...everyone on my street is a foreigner... People I encounter everywhere there are. My girlfriend's family is from jamaica. Don't ever judge me. You wanna know how many immigrants I speak to, then read my posts because I quite literally and openly talk about it.

And you're asking me this because why?

You contributed to a thread and I am doing the same.

I was just asking because a lot of people dislike immigrants without actually taking the time to get to know them. They dislike them for no reason other than the fact they're immigrants so I was trying to figure out if you were one of those people.

I didn't judge you, I asked you a question 🙄

Sorry but that's totally irrelevant. I'm really against mass immigration and I believe in putting as many barriers in place to stop mass immigration. We need high skilled immigration in lower numbers not the suicidal approach of 300,000 net who are in the main lower skilled immigrants. As someone said the Midlands has become a dumping ground particularly areas of Birmingham- if you attempted to speak to them they wouldn't understand you,why? A lot of them can not speak fluent English, this is the problem when you have high levels of immigration not only that concentrating them in areas where there is few white people they are not going to learn English they will speak Punjabi or Polish rather than English if everyone in those areas are speaking foreign languages for example Aston, Small Heath, Saltley, Alum rock.etc

Would they even speak to them?

lol this is the problem right here. Liberals and immigration advocates are too in their feelings.

I’m not in my feelings. It was a simple question

Who is going to pay for them to live in a richer area that is highly populated with English people?
Will the English be accommodating of having immigrants as their next door neighbours? Would they even speak to them?

lol you are in your feelings. What does it matter if they speak to random strangers? Do you speak to your neighbours? Most people don't in most countries. See minorities complain about "microaggressions." "Oh they dont speak to me when I take the rubbish out . They don't wave to me at the shops." You're in your feelings.

Well I'm English and I'm in a minority in my own estate I have spoken to some on my estate and most blank me I can hold conversation with two on the whole estate my next door neighbour of 11 years still can't speak English. Speaking english should be a minimum requirement if you want to live here

I don't like it when people come here and aren't ready to adapt their culture or learn the language properly, it bugs me sometimes because in some cultures (esp Arab and eastern European ones) they have attitudes and manners which come across as rude, they might not mean it but it can cause communication problems if someone isn't aware it's a culture thing.

Also hate that since 2008 we've had a public sector crisis and the governemnt is keen on making cuts but increasing pressure on such services by not controlling immigration? I'm just not a fan of open immigration in general due to unskilled labour shortages, downwards pressure on wages, increased crime, lack of respect for a community, dependence on government/council support...

I do appreciate immigrants but I just think the recent numbers have been a joke, have caused harmful pressures on public services, wages and housing, and many immigrants struggle to integrate effectively into their community, you see whole towns transformed and ruined since they don't want to do things in respect to the national or community standards but want to do it their own way which often makes places look run down - call me out but I'll gladly show you plently of places that went from being beautiful to run down due to immigration.

I do think Britain is potentially at risk of overcrowding. We have the same population as France (within 1 million) yet France is 3 Times bigger.
