I live in the UK and recently reports show there are 300,000 illegal immigrants loose on our streets.
Ok, they bring £6bn to the economy, but did you know they cost us the tax payer £8bn per year?
The gates should be closed and no more allowed in. All illegals should be sent back and criminal immigrants deported. This country is over populated as it is - the roads and traffic are a disgrace.

Discuss.

Ah, but any reports on illegal immigrants have one teeny weeny little problem.



Since by definition illegal immigrants enter the country illegally, they aren't recorded as having entered therefore any numbers announced are simply a 'guess-timate.'



Illegal immigrants bring nothing to our economy as they have no legal status therefore they don't pay tax. Hence your point about how much they raise is wrong.

I think you're confusing illegal with legal, in that Romanians and Poles can now legally move here as can all EU citizens.

Yeah, i agree with the economy part. All ILLEGAL immigrants should be deported back?? but think about how those europeans came here in ships and the natives didnt sent them back to Europe on the ships they came.

This does particularly have some reward for us. Such remittances are oftentimes greater effectual than help earnings improving circumstances in unfavourable worldwide places, and so there is way less rigidity for us to furnish help, and it additionally creates hyperlinks than could be exploited so some distance as commerce is worried (besides as increasing the skill of a community to commerce). it ought to even decrease the quantity we pay with the aid of taxes to the ecu, because of the fact the worldwide places interior the ecu receiving this money (from us, and different western Europe worldwide places) might desire much less help. nevertheless if slightly greater of this exchange into staying interior the united kingdom, we would have some much less unemployed people. the quantity being despatched decrease back to source worldwide places will probable drop, nevertheless, as further and extra immigrants from the ecu are going decrease back homestead. EDIT: to the individuals above asserting that this money is particularly fraudulently claimed reward, I doubt that's the case, whilst a) the universal public of immigrants to the united kingdom are experienced professionals who paintings in faculties, hospitals, the civil provider etc. and b) in user-friendly terms around 2-5% of immigrants declare reward (different than for asylum seekers, of direction, who legally can not paintings and ought to proceed to exist reward for the 1st twelve months, to make effective they're suitable refugees). regardless of each and every thing, new immigrants legally can not declare reward except they're working or have paid sufficient taxes whilst in paintings. And to those asserting we are a minority in our very own u . s . a ., in user-friendly terms around 8% of the inhabitants are immigrants, that's decrease than France, Germany, and lots of different ecu worldwide places.

Learn the difference between LEGAL and ILLEGAL immigrant before you post.

I think you're a bit confused. Legal migrants contributed about £6bn to the economy. Obviously illegal immigrants didn't! And we don't 'allow' in illegal immigrants. They come here illegally - that's why they're called 'illegal immigrants'. And what do immigrants have to do with roads & traffic? Or was this just another pointless BNP rant you thought you'd add?
2007-12-12 06:43:41 UTC
You are pulling figures out of thin air! 300,000? £8,000,000,000?



Point is illegal immigrants, if found, are sent home. Doing "something" about illegal immigration isn't that simple, the government can't jsut enact some words on a piece of paper to get rid of them.

the whole point is WE CANT SEND THEM BACK!!!! the EU wont allow it. and further more as soon as Brown signs the treaty, we automatically sign for one million African immigrants to add to what we already have. and with that one million will be the inevitable half a million illegals that will disappear around the country. i don't know why the British are sleeping through this.??? its about to double in size and because most of these Africans are actually Muslims " twice the problems"

When the Dr told you he needed to take a look at your colon he didn't mean you should shove your own head up your harris and leave it there! You are the nastiest, most ignorant racist I have come across in a long time. What a very angry and sad individual you are with no clue of what you talk about.

You better close your gates fast because I will be there in two weeks. Not illegally though.......

How can the UK be overpopulated if your country is still mainly countryside? The traffic is bad alright but I doubt that that has much to do with illegal immigrants. Other countries solved the road problem just fine.Immigrants, especially illegals, don't have the best jobs in the world, they have jobs most people from the UK would refuse to do, so where is your point?
2007-12-12 05:25:29 UTC
They should not be sent back home. But we do need stronger immigration laws. Those immigrants that came to America (without a Visa) should pay a fine. We cannot send them back home - who will do the jobs Americans do not want to do?

People must think before talking or writing. You cannot say whatever that comes to mind.

If they prove beneficial to the country they should be allowed to stay law breakers should be deported if there friends or relatives object deport them to there must be a shut off point before the country explodes they accused Enoch Powell of being a racist ,he wasn't but he is being prov en Right about there being to many people let in and that was 30 odd years ago
2007-12-12 07:23:08 UTC
Wow so full of anger. Such a simple solution....just shutting the gate....man that must be a big gate......Come on lets look at this realistically....Supply and demand......even in the work force is applicable.......Their must be a steady supply of jobs or they wouldn't come......Intelligent solutions would be much more productive than hate spouted from the mouth....Words are cheap....but actions speak. The traffic.... what is the correlation....don't confuse the two please.

Scotland cannot survive without mass immigration. The birth rate amongst the indigenous population is too low to sustain an ageing population.

So by your calculation your bloodline is 100% pure? Sorry...no such thing anymore. No matter where you live. Many of those immigrants (regardless of what country) are out there doing menial jobs, and dangerous jobs that most would never do. They live in crammped quarters, and live very modest lives. Why did they immigrate anyway: TO LIVE. My great-grandparents came here from Russia in order to survive. They did not come to "tax this nation" they just wanted the opportunity to survive. Think about this, maybe the child of one of the immigrants you want to run off discovers a cure for cancer. Bet then you would be proud he was a "citizen" of your country! My great-grandfather went to school at night after 2 jobs in the day, became an engineer and created equipment in mining technology that have aided us. Don't underestimate the resourcefullness of the people you want to be rid of.

illegals usually are sent back unless they can prove they would be in danger, they can then perhaps apply via different rules,

no country will close doors to legal migrants as this is what makes countries prosper,many people live in countries they never thought they would ..Job or circumstance has changed their minds/reasons.

There are some in the US with an argument like yours, but our nations are what they are because of our immigrants. Please lighten up! In fact, if the situation really troubles you, why not get involved yourself in making a solution? Perhaps run for political office.

i agree with you



illegal means they should not be allowed to stay - end of



those who are here for asylum reasons should forfeit their right to stay if they break the law - regardless of what they are going back to, they should be returned



this country has too many bleeding hearts worrying about the rights of others over the legal people of this country

You don't seem to have the ability to differentiate between illegal immigrants, legal immigrants and asylum seekers. They are all one to you aren't they ? "illegal immigrants bring £6bn to the economy" ? ? Don't you mean legal immigrants ? - or do you not know what you mean ?



Get your facts correct before making such ludicrous statements.



That's a new one to blame on immigrants - traffic chaos !!! - what next, the weather !? Discuss !

Careful, that kind of talk in the US would get you labeled a racist immediately.
2007-12-12 09:12:35 UTC
You are absolutely right. Maybe they don't realize how much they cost us, or m,aybe they just don;t care, but either way, they need to be sent back. If they want to come back , they can do it legally.

White Power!!! lmao!!!



How about segregation...? No wait, clearly we are already doing that, and it's making things worse... plus look at SegrAmerica.



We could kick them all out and send them all back...



....but then that poses the problem of figuring out who 'they' are and where 'back' is exactly. From my family tree I know I am Anglo-Saxon. My family roots have been in England since 1066. "Saxon" was a term used to refer to anyone coming into England so I know I don't 'belong' here. Would you like to figure out where exactly I should go 'back' to?!?!?



Can anyone say ethnic cleansing!?!?!?



...Oh I love you sarcasm.



We are all animal... we are all from Earth.

That's all I need.
