Immigration in England

English people don't hate immigration. Actually by comparative international poles, the British are some of the most welcoming and accepting of migrants. Far more so than varous other comparable European countries.. (france etc.)

What they hate is Mass migration. Slow down the number to a reasonable level, and all but the most hard-core racists will stop complaining quickly..

Looking at Brexit it seems English people hate immigration from Europe, but I'm left wondering why the English hate immigration from Europe but seem to welcome immigration from Arabia, Pakistan and India?

Even there mayor is Pakistani and there secretary of state is Indian

They may slow European immigration but it looks like Asian, Arabs and African immigration will just be getting bigger and bigger.

its entirely up to us and our goverment how many non EU citizens we let in. We are in control - its not some abstract event that will happen regardless of what we do.

Look at the street's, doesn't seem the government care how many come in.

Of course they care... they want this many to come in

So why did they set a target for net migration and never manage to meet it?

read read the second half of the bit you quoted.. caring doesn't mean they want it to come down. They deeply care that it remains high.

If they don't want it to come down why bother setting a target they never intend to keep to?

Khan while Muslim was born in the UK, Patel was also born in the UK and is not religious, she is as British as any white Tory. The same goes for Javid.

With regards to your first point the UK view of immigrants outside London is much more related to culture and how well they integrate. Indians are viewed relatively positively because they speak English and second generation descendants like Patel tend to do well academically so we associate them as doctors ect..

Regarding Pakistani and Arabic folk I would actually dispute that. Most people outside London have a pretty dim view of Islam and Pakistani folk especially do not integrate well and congregate in places like Bradford and Leicester. As somebody who has grown up on the outskirts of Bradford I can tell you that the 15-30% Kipper votes in 2015 around these parts were not because of people’s opinion on Europe.

The mayor and sec of state (home office I suppose you mean) are British.

It interesting that you put Islam and Pakistanis differently I believe that people in Bradford and Leicester view Christian/Jewish Pakistanis differently to Muslim Pakistanis. They view Christian/Jewish Pakistanis as hard working and law abiding and integrate well into British society. My local Church of England School is mainly Pakistanis Christians and the students go to top universities and are integrated. Alot the Pakistanis Christains students at the school are scare of Muslim Pakistanis.
