Immigration out of control

Figures issued today on immigration prove something many of us have suspected for several years, that is that immigration is totally out of control. The Labour government tells us that the economy has grown due to this influx, and there surely must be some truth in this, however the corresponding increase in costs for Council services, the NHS, education and policing is crippling the economy. Britain PLC is spending more than it is getting in, and as a result our public services are struggling. Anyone in business knows that this situation cannot continue – but of course Britain PLC is not run by business minded people, but rather by politicians and local councillors who have little or no grasp of practical economics – the answer every time from Labour is simply, put up taxes.

 

Sure, many of these so called “economic migrants” come to this country to work (and pay tax), but their families who come with them do not. They all use services, without putting anything in. And this doesn’t even take into account the increased number of people on benefits. Immigrants cannot go straight onto benefits, however if they are willing to take a lowly paid manual job, it is very likely that someone else will no longer have work. I don’t blame the immigrants. In the same situation I would do the same thing. However, in Britain today it is too easy for British people to “sponge” off the state. If your job goes to someone willing to work for less money, you’ll quickly get benefits, a council house etc. You have to remember that in our society today being able to afford a TV/Holiday/Sky etc is now considered a human right. It’s crazy. Sadly the problem is actually that our underclass is lazy and cannot wait for an excuse to get onto benefits. The immigrants themselves are not to blame, but by allowing them in, you accentuate a problem with our lay-about society. What happens? More people on benefits, expecting the state to do everything for them (remember New Orleans in the US?), blaming immigrants for taking their jobs, not educating their children and you end up with the lawless city estates that we need to face up to.

 

So I say to the immigrants from Eastern Europe, “I’m sorry, it’s not you, it’s us.” It’s nothing personal - in fact in this case it really is our fault, but you really should go home. Our country is falling over because there is no incentive for British people to do the work that you are willing to do.
