do we need anymore immigrants in this country??

Question

and what should tony blair and co be doing?

Answer 1

No we don't.Like we don't like American in other country.

Answer 2

No we don't want or need anybody from anywhere. There should be a tax on people who have more than one child and a complete ban on any immigrants at all. The country is full up. The West Indians didn't only come to take jobs 'the whites' wouldn't do, but also because they were getting independence and were trying to escape the sinking ship.Just look at the record of those countries that were former British colonies. A disaster, they can't rule themselves.And by the way, WW2 was started because Hitler invaded Poland. Haven't we helped them enough without having them lauded as saviours because a few fought against tyranny.?

Answer 3

The new immigrants from the new EU countries should be welcomed. They are culturally very close to us so they won't F*ck with our way of life.
They don't get JCA or benefits contrary to what people think.
They are hard workers doing some of the jobs that we won't.
They are well educated and we did not pay for that.
They pay tax which is NOT what a lot of locals on benefits are doing. (They are helping to pay our benefits) and god help us we need them to pay for the 9 million on benefits .By the way the Polish helped this country out no end during the war.
Talking about that, the army were bitching today that they are 50% understaffed. Now there is a job that you have to be British to do. Is this why they can't find staff.

Answer 4

No, Immigrants shouldn't be here. Reasons are simple, the creation of the welfare state allowed the population to refuse low paid jobs as benefits were better paid. Thus many unfilled vacancies began to impact the economy. As many jobs were left unfilled, then immigration was the only answer.

If the welfare state was abolished for all but the very needy, then immagration could not happen as there would be no jobs available. If people are made to work then generally they are healthier, less crime and begin to have more ambition. It beats watching boring day time TV!

Before you comment on this topic, realise that I consider myself working class and I have seen it all for myself!

By the way, I'm not racist!

Answer 5

How many times does this question need to asked and answered before people accept that the answer is yes, we need immigrants.

The fact is that every Capitalist economy relies on a certain number of immigrants each year to provide cheap labour and to do jobs that British people could do but are otherwise too lazy to do because they would rather sponge off the dole and whine about foreigners taking their jobs.

The Economy relies on immigrants to a certain extent. If there were no immigrants your hospitals would be dirtier, there would be less doctors and nurses and other professionals such as lecturers, scientists etc.

Who is going to the the work that the immigrants do?

Answer 6

The major problem is this EU business. A totalitarian government that resides over Europe and no one has the power to vote them in or out. Echoes of the early 1940's. To the american readers. You guys may have issues with immigration like us but at least you guys run your own country and it makes a difference who is in power. Over here we can vote in anyone but they still have to do as the EU tells them. Maybe we need the yanks to come over here again like back in the 40's and help us kick some a**e again!

Answer 7

We don`t need the one we have now. Enoch Powell warned the country about immigration and no one listened to him.
These people do not respect our country or way of live all they want are the hand outs that the Govt give them.Thes people have more rights than the British

Answer 8

Of course we need immigrants here. Half the population is made up of immigrants. If you look back 40 or 50 years ago if the West Indians didn't arrive here then you'd never have had bus conductors or ticket collectors because the English where too flipping lazy or they thought the jobs too menial for them? Obviously the dole was better than working?!

A lot of immigrants come here to make a better life for themselves. Can you imagine not having enough food to feed your family? or buy new clothes when you want to? They is nothing wrong with immigrants coming here they just need to weed out the ones that aren't going to work.

Answer 9

no we don't there are enough here all ready,
there are British born people living on our streets who could do with help from our government, teenagers who get kicked out of foster care at 16 and end up on the streets, young mums with kids, families who have lost their homes through dept and bankruptcy,
it's a shame that immigrants can't live in their own country for what ever reason but they come to the UK to sponge of the rest of us to get free housing free education free hospital treatment and to live on unemployment benefits and the fact is the British government keep letting more and more people in to the UK without tackling the problems we have here already.
lack of decent low income housing
the national health service
lack of national health dentist's
and the closer of school's in rural areas
the closing of factories and industry which means more British citizen unemployed

Answer 10

If we had sensible training and education in this country we would never have needed any. How can a small island with 62m people on it possibly need immigrants?

Answer 11

Vote Congress Duncan Hunter for president 2008.
