Immigration: Enough ?

[Khandro]

Is it not time to face the facts, & how could anyone not be appalled by the way the government has mishandled this issue?
Who ya gonna call ? (I don't know about you, but it won't be Ghostbusters, I'll be calling the Reform Party)

"Is it not time to face the facts, & how could anyone not be appalled by the way the government has mishandled this issue? "
How has the government miss handled the issue? They've move heaven and earth to fix this all measures are opposed by Labour and the Trobiscites do everything they can to scupper every attempt to fix. So what would YOU and other detractors suggest?

[Stableford]

Labour have tried to scupper every attempt that the government have made to tackle immigration. Labour politicians should hang their heads in shame. Every time a serious attempt to tackle this issue is made, Keir and his cronies vote it down. Thanks a lot.

Well that’s news to me that the Labour party is running the country and not the Tories.

These immigrants are a real asset to our society with their diverse customs with which they bestow on us and Labour just won't let them go.

So the answer to mass illegal migration is more diversity and vote Labour? Sounds like a coherent argument.

[Hymie]

If the government does not have the required majority in the House of Commons to effect their legislative program – then they should call a general election, hoping that the electorate will give them a sufficient majority.

Best you stop watching spurious videos by cranks and buy a few newspapers then. The two links I have provided show why the Tories are hampered in their endeavours to deport . I can find you many many more instances going back to Blair's administration who's legacy was to punish Britain by wanting to open the floodgates.

[Spungle]

The Labour Party have voted against every single measure this government has brought forward to control immigration. Why?

[Hymie]

Oh dear, I seem to have stirred up a WASP’s nest.

[naomi24]

Ooooo, smart Hymie - but I think you’ll find some might be Roman Catholic. ;o)

[Old_Geezer]

The alleged benefits listed earlier all seem to be attainable without having accepted immigrants in the first place.

Meanwhile, established migrants that came legally, are not the issue. The swelling of the UK population by univited chancers is.

We could do with negative immigration to removethe excessive pressure on resources and services. Importing cheap labour is not a long term solution to anything, in fact it's unsustainable.

So,OG,meanwhile these immigrants are living in four-star hotels and getting(not sure about this )£10 a day for doing nothing.Meanwhile the company i work for are crying out for unskilled labour and the UK government arent allowing them to work for my company and make a meaningful return(in their taxes)to help this country.Doesnt make sense.

[Hymie]

OG says that established migrants that came legally, are not the issue.

Presumably if all these immigrants were processed and found to have a legal right to remain in the UK, you would have no complaints – as they would have come here legally.

Logically, you can have no complaint until they are processed, and found not to have a valid reason to remain in the UK (and then refuse to leave) – then (and only then) will you have a valid complaint that there are illegal immigrants that need to be forcibly removed.

[naomi24]

Hymie, that’s not logical. They shouldn’t be here to be processed at all. They’ve come here illegally.

[Bobbisox1]

^^^^ then why pay the people smugglers £1,000s ?
If they really legitimate, why don’t they come by plane and then be processed for a fraction of the cost that they’re paying these smugglers, go figure

[Bobbisox1]

That was to Hymie btw

\\Its about time the UK government allowed these immigrants to have a job.My firm is screaming out for workers now that Brexit has decimated our workforce.//

We have 1.3 million unemployed, put your wages up and recruit from those.

[Hymie]

Without processing them, how do you know they have come here illegally?

[ynnafymmi]

But Naomi,what is the better option -paying them £10 a day for doing nothing...or offering them a(perhaps,unskilled)job,paid for by a private company@£400 a week and paying taxes back into the UK economy.For Funks Sake,it isnt rocket science,Naomi.My company is nearly on its knees(thanks to Brexit),plenty of orders,not enough employees.Fish processing,how hard is that.Meanwhile i see crowds of"illegal"immigrants wandering up and down Union Street in Aberdeen getting paid £10 a day for doing *** all.Meanwhile my company screams out for workers.Bah,i give up.
