Send all immigrants back where they came from?

Question

Just curious, to those in the UK who believe that all immigrants should be sent back to their countries of origin, where are we going to fit all the people from the US, Australia, New Zealand etc in our little country? I think you'll find we have emigrated (a polite way of saying invaded, raped and pillaged) to a variety of countries without any attempts at integration whatsoever. In fact, the British way has always tended to be take by force whatever we want.

Or perhaps you prefer to ignore history - lets just get rid of those who arrived in the last 50 years or so. Yes, that would be far more convenient - that way we don't need to make awkward excuses for our barbaric behaviour towards millions of people from other nations throughout history.

Answer 1

This question doesn't make any sense and is just a rant. Firstly you cant live in the past. What Britain has or hasn't done 200 years ago is irrelevant now. What I do care about is saving modern day Britain. And we do like diversity. As long as it is controlled and monitored within reason. Obviously you care very little for our country.

Answer 2

I think that a lot of people in England are simply worried about MORE immigrants coming to the country. Regardless of whether multiculturalism has failed (which, lets be honest, it has), most people have adapted to immigrants and large minority groups; hell, I am the son of Italian immigrants so I will apply no double standards with regards to immigration.

However, when a lot of immigrants here do not integrate, self-segregate and just take the free education and benefits, it naturally makes people pissed. No-one wants to see their neighbourhood change from a leafy suburb into a Lebanese casbah...

So, most of us are not screaming 'send them back', just holding up our hands and saying 'hey, no more, we are full'.

When minorities go past the 10% threshold, we begin to have big problems, like France and Netherlands. Why can we not do as Japan do? Extremely tough immigration laws, tough citizenship tests - we just have a perverse apologist, guilt-consumed European mentality in our current Governments

Answer 3

a lot of british people have immigrated but to live take there wealth they've earned or work there way and comit to the societies they've joined unlike the huge influx of immigrants ETC Somalians who come here not to work to abuse the situation and in pose there religious views above the laws of the land because they see there religion superior and can ignore the law ( without any consequences it seems today) and this is the opinion of many of them as they openly admit this. there are to many immigrants in this country a lot of witch collect benefits until there later years and then go back to there country and live off the money they've put away without a days work. people are fed up not merely for thees reason because nowadays British people be that black or white are 2nd class citizens an old women would die in a crowded ward with her family in tears and distress whereas a pakistani immigrant showing nothing but the whites of her eyes would have a private room when having a bunion removed because otherwise they cry racism to everything there way, they have depts write off because " they did not understand the terms of the agreement" and they refuse to speak the language of the country there in even after being there for years witch is HIGHLY OFFENCIVE but has now become an every day occurrence, there went enough jobs to SUPPORT every one 2 years ago and especially now but still they flood in

Answer 4

You should send all the economic migrants back home or at least put a stop to it. I hate cultural diversity thankfully Ireland is still 80 percent Native and Catholic and long may it continue. Nothing can be done about the 2nd and 3rd generation children of Immigrants but when your native culture is spat upon or put down then you can complain, we weren't allowed to have a St Patricks day march in Belfast city centre until 5 years ago but the Orangemen can march where they like and always have and will. I have no respect for anybody's culture other than my own and other indigenous native peoples who had their land siezed and were treated like sub-human animals. The Irish have more in common with Africans than they do with the British.

Answer 5

I think all illegal immigrants should be kicked out. If they did everything they were supposed to do, then let them stay in this country. we all live in the same world. we shouldnt have to stay in a certain part of it just because of skin colour.BUT under certain circumstances it is unnacceptable to send them back. For instance, when I was 13 my mother moved me to the USA and we lived there illegally for 4 years. We got deported, do you think that was my fault? I was only 17 when we got deported. I had been with my fiancee for 3 years, and we are having a baby girl in august. Some people are sucked into things and are genuine and would do anything to be with the one they love. But your right, there are alot of people who try to use a baby as an excuse and I think that is sick. We are genuinely in love, and I am sure that there are other people out there like me(i am only 18) and I have nothing BUT compassion for them all. and one day my fiancee wants to be an immigration lawyer. and help the people who need it.

Answer 6

Its nothing to do with colour, or race. There are hundreds of immigrants coming in to Britain everyday. Britain is a struggling country, and could do with taking care of British people first. is it fair that these immigrants are taking jobs and houses before homeless and unemployed British people? Most of them come here, and rape and murder people. What a thank you to us for offering them hospitality. its also a well known fact, that they only come over here as they know they will get 'free house, free money' from the government. we are a minority in our own country, too scared to speak out for fear of terrorist attacks, and muslims rioting in the street. Something must be done

Answer 7

It really depends on what criteria someone uses for the term immigrant.



Using your theory on the US Aus etc then lots of countries do not have a native population.

Answer 8

im an immigrant..fighting for Queen and Country(British Army)



i will be going on my second tour to Afghanistan....i had shed Blood,sweat,and tears for Britain....8 years in the Army now....



are they gonna send me home?

Answer 9

Firslty that will cost money. Secondly it makes no sense as there are currently loads on legal and illegal immigrants living in the UK as it would make more sense to control the number of immigrants coming in. Curb immigrantion!

Answer 10

I've no idea what the BNP plan to do with all the immigrants. As you say, the idea of simply deporting everyone who has immigrated into the country is completely ridiculous, not to mention xenophobic, extremely hypocritical and racist. It also betrays a completely blinkered attitude to our own imperialist history.



We are all people at the end of the day and we all share the same planet. We should all have the same rights, wherever we come from. Why should one group of people have more rights than any other?



The BNP are playing into the hands of the bosses, those who want to divide our communities and set people against each other, to reduce our ability to fight back. They are against trade unions, for example (except their own scab "union" Solidarity - which is a pathetic attempt to undercut valid trade unionists). Under the Nazis in Germany, the trade unions and all the left parties were smashed.



Yet the BNP are the ones who have the cheek to portray themselves as radical and left wing. They are a far-right, racist party - shown by the bigoted comments by some of their supporters on Yahoo answers.



The BNP also ignore the positive contribution which is made to our economy by immigrants - without them the NHS would collapse, and we would actually be worse off. Britian would be a boring, insular and dreadful place, segregated off from the rest of the world, with no-one being allowed in. I would not want to live somewhere like that.



EDIT - No one is answering your question, because the far right do not have any sensible answer to it. Their policies are uneconomic, unfair and driven by bigotry and hate. It would not be acceptable to turf everyone out of the country who is under 5'5" on the basis of heightism would it? So why is turfing out people under the pretext of racism any more acceptable?

Answer 11

Well if you did bring back all the Americans, Aussies etc. they still wouldn't number half the total of even the illegal immigrants we already have.

Answer 12

Let me see 1492...yes of cause... I was there!!!



Historical study is for us to learn the lesson NOT to take the blame for others who gained and still benefit, nor is it our place to feel guilt and allow what remains of US to be overwhelmed because history holds some darker episodes.

Just to be clear... this is not a leading answer as was the question.

And one wonders where the name CHANGED came from?

Answer 13

so the new waves of immigration are a way of assuaging ancestral guilt?

You didnt do it. Why should you pay?

Is that a good reason to open your doors to this huge flood?

or to accept illegals?

check the video below to see the predictions below about what is going to happen in the us at current rates of immigration

Answer 14

It would be very advisable, ethical or not to avoid the looming civil war , don't you think ...

Answer 15

jBBBBBBB"They still flood in" yes pal your dead right but where or who is the guy that says STOP because I haven't a bloody clue but whoever he is for Gods sake turn the tap off///NO MORE or we'll all sink under the sea

Answer 16

That is why simple sloganistic ideas like 'send 'em all back' are only considered workable by really thick people incapable of higher thought. Like Nick 'Gyppo' Griffin and the BNP, for instance.



To make it clear, I am worried about immigration issues, but I recognise that just wishing to have an all-white Britain is plain silly, and forced repatriation and other fascist ideas just will not work. I am in favour of integration and assimilation.



Yes, there was a large scale emigration in the 50's and 60's backed by government assisted packages, especially to places like Australia and New Zealand. If they were to apply exactly the same criteria as Nick Griffin is asking for here (He wants to turn the ethnic mix of UK back to how it was 'just 18 years' before his birth, and won't accept any later 'immigrants' even if born here!) then we would be faced with an influx not only of the returning emigres but all their extended families. I guess we would have to treat them in the same way we treat current immigrants, stuff them in B&B, old holiday camps, disused prisons and army barracks!

Answer 17

Send all (legal) immigrants back where they came from?

NO



Send all ILLEGAL immigrants back where they came from?

YES

Answer 18

You sound like an envious foreigner, at least you are not real British, your view of "British history" is classic 3rd world, The few real Brits who were in India ( only numbered in 1000s not millions) left leaving a much improved country.



We now have millions of Muslims alone in the UK for the first time in history and it is the biggest disaster in the entire history of the now UK



We should remove every foreigner from our country who does not have full legal rights to be here and I think we are moving to that now





Changed~Planes whatever~ I believe you, I believe everything I read on the Internet. Whatever the British did and whatever British moved about the globe in previous centuries is not justification to allow a wave of immigrants into the modern UK. We have the political power and should have not allowed the recent tsunami of immigrants. Modern immigration is not connected with military conquests 100s even 1000s of years ago if so we should all go back to Africa including the Africans now resident in the UK.

What we anti immigration people are concerned with is Asian. African and other people coming in massive numbers to the UK as a population transfer in the 20th and 21st centuries,not the few 1000 17th century British colonialist people. Are you aware that only 250,000 real Brits were in India at most ?



Today the Asian sub Continent has suicide bombers and self imposed poverty worse than anything we did to them. We now have millions of Asian sub Continent people here now far more than the British in India.Low numbers of Europeans went to Australia and the USA, the populations developed there over centuries , we now have no political obligations connected to them.We could have prevented the modern UK immigration disaster, we can still reverse it and I believe most real British will do just that.



Most white Australians ,Americans and South Africans are not immigrants,you are confusing immigrants with racial groups. Very few whites are now in the Asian sub continent .Today it is the UK resident Asian sub Continent and African groups which concern us most, we do not "owe them our country" You are mistakenly mixing and confusing a modern political decision with the whole of history.In any case most real British like myself have no ancestors with any connection to colonisation.



I hope you can see how ridiculous it is to say: Your great great grandfather did something to native Americans 300 years ago so I as an Indian/Pakistani demand to come to your country and bring 5,000,000 of my countrymen with me and more to follow?



"Immigrants" means modern often illegal and disproportionately criminal real immigrants not explorers like Captain Cook, this is the 21st century not the 17th

Answer 19

Just send 80% of them back, coz thats how many are here illegally.

Answer 20

Yeah! Ok then - whatever...



Perhaps you are lucky enough to live in an area that is not blighted by immigrants....why should they be allowed to come here - not contribute in any way, shape or form and then be given houses and benefits over our own people.



You people make me laugh with you rants - you don't have a real clue

Answer 21

there are over 800k of ex pat pensioners in spain, they better not send them back or we will be fucked.

Answer 22

I agree with JAMAND

I WOULD SUGGEST YOU READ MORE AND RANT LESS YOU HAVE NOT A CLUE WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!
