Sorry to burst the bubble but we are all immigrants. It's all a question of time scale

but Im not of the type who says where you are born should determine what you can do.
I become incredulous that within a generation or so people can turn against the country of birth and the people of that country Amazing what greed does to the human innit? |

By:
Well it's greed that brings this immigration after all. Benefit tourism is a strange concept to someone born into a welfare system.
To someone born into a country with far less of an ability to care for it's citizens health, wealth and safety - it sounds like a simple option |

I understand why people from less priveldged countries what to come here, what is odd is the way they would cut throats to do so, thats pretty low.
There are a number of reasons we are a 'rich' country, culture and education as well as a series of revolutions, but let us not forget that a significant reason that we are 'rich' is because we suppressed other countries and many of these through circumstances had their wings clipped after we did what we needed. The nationalists forget this. |

Exactly. The government should bring in a sliding scale for tax rates. Trace your family tree back to 1800 or before and you pay 10pc. Add 1pc for every 10 years so if you are new to the country you pay 31pc. It would of course be the opposite for benefits ![]() |

dustybin, I personally have no problem with british asians having an opinion on immigration.
mmm, that would make the problem worse. The pampered indigenous would just get lazier and even more entitled while immigrants coming from poor countries wouldn't care if they were paying 30, 40 or 50 percent, they'd still be relatively wealthy. The immigrants who arrive and go straight on the dole or into crime won't pay any tax anyway. |

By:
Why exactly should immigrants not take a logical and realistic view regarding future immigration.
Suggest they are being more honest than the op thinks he is. |
|
By:
Also don`t think that most countries throughout the world are looking with admiration at how Britain has
run its immigration policy for the last 30 years. They are looking on incrediously and with a certain contempt. Many (including close European countries) would be glad to see Britains problems. |

I wonder if we could ever become Earthlings and all live together? No need for immigration then
|
|
By:
Sure that would be lovely, have you got a spare room?
|
|
By:
No?...hmmm thought so
|
|
By:
No spare room but they tell me Lundy Island is nice at this time of year. Not sure that the puffins will be too pleased.

spare room?
think the tories nicked em didnt they? |

By:
It's blatant opportunism for immigrants to then decide they should be the last allowed in.
memememememememeeeeeeee |

By:
There's plenty of immigrants who have worked hard and made a good life for themselves and their families who can see where the country is heading with the mass influx of uncontrolled immigration. They have every right to be concerned.
