Latest immigration figures.

Good job the government commissioned & constructed that additional city the size of Coventry to house them all.

Having been unlucky enough to have to visit my local A&E recently, I could add my own personal anecdote of how excess immigration has personally affected me, doesn't seem much point though.

No point, you'll be tarred as a xenophobe and racist.

Different country, but same logic applies.

JOE vs. JOSE
You have two families: "Joe Legal" and "Jose Illegal". Both families have two parents, two children, and live in California.
Joe Legal works in construction, has a Social Security Number and makes $25.00 per hour with taxes deducted.
Jose Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table".
Ready? Now pay attention....
Joe Legal: $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000.00 per week, or $52,000.00 per year. Now take 30% away for state and federal tax; Joe Legal now has $31,231.00.
Jose Illegal: $15.0.....

That is stupid. If Jose Illegal is an undocumented immigrant and has no social security number then he can't get any of the free stuff like medical care or food stamps your 'example' goes on to add.

I think most people up and down the land could tell a similar story to be fair.

I'm great at telling stories (check my post history!).

Whether they have and basis in fact though is an entirely different proposition.

Haha it's funny though! When the British were takin over other countries the citizens didn't have a problem. Now it's happening to us we all moan. It's like they're all having revenge by milking the benefit system.

Of course we have one ignoring migrants, but saying they have a negligible impact is the laughable thing to do.



Shocker that a professional, surrounded by other professionals who are migrants, sees it as a good thing :confused:. No ones denying there are those good bits of migration, the point is that although migration is a positive overall (if you look at net contributions overall, etc, etc), within that pool of migration there's positive and negative migration.

I'm not denying that there are negative aspects. Just like everything in life there can be too much of a good thing. But I think there are more positives and it shouldn't be discouraged.
 
They have been highlighted already.

Culture clash probably being the main one that I can appreciate being annoying/irritating if the behaviour isn't cohesive with the local environment / sociological distribution. But that can happen without immigration but obviously not being 'British' may accentuate these effects.
