Answer 1

'Thinking the Unthinkable'

"There have been poor countries and rich countries since countries first began, but only in the 20th century - the century of nationalisms and ethnic cleansings - have controls been implemented to stop movement between them. The argument for immigration controls stems from the belief, inherently xenophobic, that richer countries will be "flooded", "invaded", or "swamped" by "tidal wave" of migrants and that this will lead to increased unemployment amongst the native population. Quite simply, this is not true: overwhelmingly, unequivocally, the evidence supports the opposite thesis. According to Harris, immigration considerably enriches the host nation both scientifically and culturally. Immigrants do the jobs that most native workers do not want or cannot do. Without immigration our economies would dissolve. Nigel Harris shows exactly why and how immigration is the lifeline of the developed world's economy, using examples from all over the world to prove how immigration makes both the rich and the poor richer and acts as the final safeguard against such ugly world phenomena as racism, nationalism, and intolerance."

Answer 2

I think this country should do more for the people who pay there taxes here, there are millions of people who were born and bred here who are living on the poverty line who get no help at all, there are school, hospitals, and old peoples home all closing because the government will not help these organisations were is the help for the genuine British people,who have paid there taxes all of there lives. Why should we fund these asylum seekers to live here, and benefit from all the hard work that the British people have done,I think if they want to live here, they should pay double the taxes we do, pay for private health care, education, and get no benefits of any kind which has to include the houses benefit until they have worked here for at lest ten years,that would find out if they really wanted to live here.

Answer 3

No, the taxpayer should not pay one single penny for illegal asylum seekers who's claims for asylum have been rejected. These people should be simply shipped back to where they came from. Politicians of all parties are on a hiding to nothing if they follow the path they want to in that we the taxpayer have to pick up the tab. What do they think this is? A charity? It is not. UK plc is a profit making business and I'm against spending our hard earned revenues on failed asylum seekers. They are unwanted here and of no use to us or our nation. Go home.

Answer 4

I've said this a few times on here, so I apologise if you've seen it before, but I think we should help these people ONLY if they arrive here legally and, as we have so many of our own living in squalor and on the streets, ONLY AFTER we've got their lives back on track. I'm all for helping the less fortunate, but you have to draw the line somewhere. That said, if people do arrive legally, whether we object or not, we shouldn't hold it against them because they can only make the application, it's the government that allows them to stay or not.
So, no, I don't believe taxpayers should foot the bill if they stay on after their application has been declined.

Answer 5

IMO this is a time for compassion and positive effort. We can all drop our fears. The people can be congratulated for overcoming the petty partisan politics. It is a time for celebration. Did it not all work out for the best? All that is left now to withstand is a clean-up job by Mother Nature. I am curious, will the Brits switch to mint tea with the possibly permanent switch to warmer climate? Either way, let us all enjoy this change in the balance of consciousness. Cheers!

Answer 6

I dont wish anyone an unsafe environment and if that is the case for them then they should come here and be legal and put something back into the counrty but the majority of them dont! There is a difference between a helping hand and just taking the p*ss. We have enough of our own british slackers without bringing in more from other places!

Answer 7

Unless the failed ayslum seekers are deported the locals will pay for it anyway. either in taxes or in the theft and crime going up

Answer 8

the so called goverment are just thinking of any way of taxing us soon it wont be worth going to working as for ayslum seekers they have no idea on what to do i do but cant put it on here

Answer 9

the /some organisation' u are refering to must be either some uk based immigrant interest group or an organization based in a foreign country- who probbaly dont want anything to do with these 'economic refugees' coming back .....nothing to do with the B.S> of "being scared"...in 99% of cases...

Answer 10

i think any assylum seekers that arrive in europe and fail should be sent to a country that needs them and if nobody wants or needs them they should be distributed evenly across the european union by a central organisation as any were is betta than where they came from and no appeals for any reason they should be grateful their any where in eu
