why do immigrants come to the UK ?

Question

its expensive , youve got no chance of every owning a house , the weathers crap ,

Answer 1

There are many reason to come to the UK. They may be fleeing war or famine or poverty. They may want to find a better job or they may just like England, but at the end of the day what does it have to do with us. If we needed to move else where we would expect the same right.

Answer 2

Immigrants get a ot of the same benefits available to UK residents - housing, food, transport and the best chance of never having to go back to their "homeland"

The Government cannot control the tide and we're left with disgruntled citizens who see all their benefits being taken by people who may have no right being in this country in the first place. Having said that, EU residents such as the Poles are free to enter the country at will ... They're usually hard working and at least semi-skilled (plumbers, dentists, lecturers etc.) and take jobs here because the money's more than they would earn at home.

Answer 3

If you are an immigrant you only need two weeks proof of earnings and the government will get you a mortage(sad but true). Plus most immigrants have come from war torn countries, They have probably seen there families killed and raped, It is get out or eventually die!
Some (30%) are criminals that have been exsiled or on the run and in there countries you get no benifits(the doll, council house) if you don't work. They may not be able to buy houses but at least they are not living in poverty. Plus we have a great education system and it's free, They have no education(how many lawers are from Iran of other african countries)apart frm the ones who learnt there trade here!

Answer 4

Not only that but they come here looking for security and safety but then you get ignorant s*** heads complaining that they are taking all the jobs and getting free housing and money.
1) They are banned from working here and even if they could work the idiots complaining about it didn't even apply for it.
2) They get the worst houses in the worst areas.
3) Any money they do get is sparse.

Ha! Just look above me, some of them are here already. You people know NOTHING about the immigrants, you just get tabloid spin and bulls*** from racists and biggots. The worst part is you BELIEVE it.


Thanks Jimmy, I will wear the title of Left Wing Wanker with pride. Beats having a mind like yours.

Ladymoonlight, do you actually know anything about the BNP? They are right wing racist extremists posing as a legitimate political group. If you honestly think that the country is bad now, YOU will be the one immigrating if they get into power. I know I will.

Answer 5

People immigrate because it is natural. People has been immigrating since the very beginning. Why do you eat? why do you breath? you a have a natural right to do that. It is the same with immigration.
Who invented the idea that a place "belongs" to the people who were born there? all the planet belongs to all the human beings.
As long as poverty exists, people will be searching for better opportunities. It´s simple, just economics.
Besides, why do you complain about it? think that the UK is rich thanks to all their former colonies.
You, UK people, immigrated to those countries first, you took everything you liked, and now you don´t want all those immigrants? why don´t you better thank God for not having to pay all the damage your country did.

Answer 6

Yeah but say asylum and you get a house , benefit payments you get to work in the black economy for cash, you get free NHS treatment despite never paying a penny into the system in high areas of influx you usually get your own counter at the benefit office with an interpreter guiding you to claim for even more, then when you have got loads of our cash you go back to the country you escaped from for a holiday to give your relatives some nice English taxpayers money.

Look you've got me all wound up now!

Answer 7

Have you been to some of the places they come from? There might be nice weather, but feeling like your breathing in an oven can wear thin after a while! Also, living in a wood hut or shanty town with little or no running water or sewers doesn't appeal to all. The West is still portrayed as a land of milk & honey, even if we take it for granted.

Answer 8

Because they know they'll get free housing, free healthcare, free schools free everything else and some stupid liberal will always stick up for them. They come here just to sponge off us even though they hate us and our country like the 7/7 bombers did. Meanwhile oridnary decent British people who have worked and paid taxes for years get **** all.

A pakistani immgrant recently beat my bf's boss over the head with a truncheon and caused a wound which needed 10 stitches over a row about the family cat! The immigrant is NOT being charged because he played the race card, whilst my bf's boss is going to be charged with allegedly making racist remarks. So its ok to beat someone unconcious with a truncheon just because you're a Pakistani?!?! This country has gone to the dogs badly.

We need the BNP in power.

Answer 9

What makes me angry is people who say. 'Well thay have been raped and live in mud huts and are punished fo having certain views'etc.... okay. So go to the country next to you. Or go to France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden etc.... Why do they travel through 10 countries to get to the UK. Because they know they will get freebies and handouts thats why. So Skull states that they hardly get any money and get the worst housing. Yeah they still get money though, putting more strain on the tax payers. I don't want to pay for them. As for that old chest nut of they get the worst housing - what a load of crap. I have a friend who rents houses to Asylum seekers. they get decent houses, with furniture already in place. they don't pay any bills - gas, electricity, council tax etc... Its all a load of bollocks. Immigrants, Asylum seekers - what ever. Don't you understand the Country is at breaking point. Its not fair to expect people to pay for them. They cost Billions per year which has to be paid for by tax payers. If they want to claim Asylum, good luck to them - go do it somewhere else. I don't want to pay for them. 'Not on my doorstep' Thats right and do you know why - because its not big enough. The racist and biggot crap does not wash anymore. The taxpayers cannot afford to pay from them. I wish Left wing wankers would stop calling people who disagree with them racists and biggots. Knob heads. Get a life. If there is a begger / tramp and he happens to be non white, is he going to brand me a racist because I can't give him any money when I am skint. Absolute bollocks. Stop being dickheads. The country does not want to pay for more people on benefits regardless of whether they are of British Origin or not.
Work Harder those on benefits depend on you.

Answer 10

And you get blamed for everything that's wrong with the country too by The Daily Mail.

"Immigrants Ruin Weather" I believe today's headline is.
