What exactly is the reason behind western governments allowing immigrants to come to the west in millions?

Question

It cannot be to alleviate world poverty because it has been shown that mass migration does not alleviate world poverty.

In fact mass migration often takes away expertise needed by poorer countries making poverty worse

Answer 1

As we get no advantages but plenty in the way of reduced health care, housing, etc. It's because it provides plenty of cheap labour.

The whole of the EU elite want to bring down the standard of living in the western world and Britain seems to be the flagship to show how to do it. For instance, the more educated you are the less control the gov. has. Our education system has gone from being wold class to third world with the teachers being overstretched by having to teach such an assorted class of student.

Its a Capitalists dream. of a never ending supply of people prepared to work for a pittance or be hungry.

Answer 2

Unfortunately there is a downside to uncontrolled migration and that is a problem to be solved. At the same time it is necessary keep the economy moving forward. Migration needn't be negative as shown by the influx of Polish workers. They come to work and benefit our economy to the tune of £3 billion while sending £1 billion back home benefiting that economy. We need migrant workers but they have to be that "workers".
Personally I'd say that any need, if there is one, for unskilled labour can now be filled by those from the EU who we can't prevent coming in. Those from other countries should be judged on what they can bring to they can bring to the country, what can benefit the country rather than themselves.

Answer 3

I can understand the Government allowing people to come and fill vacancies that people here refuse to do.
What I can't understand is that foreigners can come here and be given the same or more benefits than people who have lived and worked in this country most of their lives.
Our own old folk are living in homes they cannot afford to heat whilst migrants are sending a billion pounds a year out of the country back home, and that include migrants who are receiving benefits and working on the black economy.
I think someone is making a lot of money through mass migration and it is not the ordinary British citizen.

Answer 4

the whole "emo white rap" i believe is just a joke and really aren't what people are saying "who's to say these people are wack" the listener is, its all opinion, but still if I find someone wack then I have all the right to say so. that said some of these rappers people post here are wack, I mean first thing about music is it is meant to appeal to your ear, if you hear somebody with a strong southern accent and overly complex wording, then its not going to appeal to me and many others. No one wants to listen to someone who is boring, thats plain and simple but also no one hear is what I'd call stuck in "1996," at least not the regs, because many think 00's were better or they think hip hop is in a good place. I do agree mafioso rap has run its course its time for new things, but mafioso rap was good for its time. you also contridicted yourself you say who are you to call anything wack and then talk down on the people who think "Lil Wayne's beats are great and Lil' B is not that bad," when Lil' B does have some decent music, in my eyes. Lil Wayne isn't bad and has dropped some decent stuff.

Answer 5

Many countries in the world are rife with corruption and incompetance. They have simply seen what we have achieved and given up trying to do it themselves, so they just flood to countries that have prospered. The 'i can earn more if i go here' attitude is driving modern day migration.

Answer 6

Great Question! I wish I knew. We have elderly living on the streets because our social security does not pay them enough to live in a dwelling, but they can cover the illegals to have mulitple babaies, food stamps,housing,medical, etc....

I use to be so proud of my country but it is really becoming a joke, even voting is a joke,they say one thing and let the wind blow and they are saying something different and heaven forbid when they get in office.

The laws that are made are not inforced,unless you are a citizen and then it really depends if you have money,if you have money your screwed,if you are a pulper they couldn't care less because they know they are not going to get **** out of you anyway.

I guess we all need to live by ower own laws and forget about theirs,if it aint dollars it aint ****.

Answer 7

Keep wages down to make the fatcats richer. So they can give the Government bigger bungs

- sorry -

"donations" (in the manner of David Abrahams.)

Its also a lot cheaper to import ready-skilled labour than invest in training your own people.

Answer 8

Most immigrants provide cheap, but necessary, labour. Without toilet cleaners, warehouse staff, etc, companies couldn't exist. And even if every 'British' person was employed there still wouldn't be enough to fill those vacancies.

Also, immigration works both ways. They can come here and work and we can and do go there and work.

Answer 9

Irregardless of whether it helps a poverty stricken country better themselves or not.... this is not the reason it is allowed.....it is allowed because of big money big corporations which fund big campaigns for policticians

Answer 10

The powerful business and corporations have decided that they want you to spend your money in their store but they don't want to hire you or anyone who looks like you. You want nasty, unreasonable things like a living wage and a break now and again. Plus you are freedom born freedom loving Americans who will fight for your freedoms. Unlike the illegal alien border criminals who just want a piece of bread and their happy. It is an attempt to tear the fabric of America apart and rebuild it in the image of the third world dictatorships the corporate giants are so jealous of.
