I don't know about anti immigration but I am certainly pro controlled immigration and I am stunned when I encounter contrary opinion to that.The last refuge for the common man to receive unbiased opinion should be the BBC and as far as I am concerned they behave shamefully. They must be ice-skating in hell right now because I actually strongly agree with you on this. Even as big as America is, we have been overwhelmed with illegal immigrants and that has been a big contributing factor to the fact that wages have fallen in the last 30 years. I can only imagine what uncontrolled immigration would do to an island. The whole EU, it seems to me, needs to establish criteria that limits the countries that poorer members can emigrate to. Controlling immigration isn't cruel or racist, it's a matter of necessity if you want to maintain your quality of life. Not only that, just think how many Syrian refugees you guys could have helped if you didn't already have a problem with overcrowding. The real problem with controlled immigration is who is doing the controlling. Many tech companies here, including Microsoft, Intel - all of the biggies - hire foreign tech workers at 60% of what they pay Americans. The system is so broken that Disney World in Florida replaced its entire American tech staff with (legal) foreigners and, just to add insult to injury, it made the American workers train their replacements or lose their severance pay. You have the above post spot on Paul,its capitalism thats the main beneficiary of immigration,nobody else.

They're even putting out propaganda over here. Refugees will repay EU spending almost twice over in five years - report (This a link if it isn't obvious) The article is bogus propaganda because it takes the amount of tax dollars that are/will be spent and compares it to the anticipated increase in GNP. Obviously, if you want to be credible, you have to compare increased tax revenues to the tax expenditures. It also assumes that the increase in demand that the refugees create will be sufficient to fully employ the refugees. But it makes a good headline, eh? Just for the record, I'm in favor of all of us taking in the ME refugees because it is our fault that they are refugees. I also don't think you can sit down and try to pencil out the value of a human life. If we can find trillions of dollars for war, we can sure as hell find whatever it takes to handle the refugee crisis we created. Maybe we should take the money from the military and defense contractors and not let them run any more of their profit centers (wars) until their current SNAFU is paid for. I agree with your last paragraph,I think its about time the West stopped interfering in these countries affairs because I blame this perverted Foreign Policy of Western Countries the USA included, for bringing us to this juncture.

The USA is the worst of all! We get into this shit like invading Iraq and then pressure our NATO partners to join "a coalition of the willing" just to try to add some legitimacy to what is really nothing more than defense industry driving up their profits.

Do you know Paul that we are never going to see the end of these practises.I see there are Rape allegations flying about this morning after Trumps interview on FOX,you just get the feeling its downhill from here.Can I ask you one thing ?How has Obama and his presidency advanced the plight of Black people in America today,my guess is very little.

75 million Turks want to do your job for 25% of what your employer is paying YOU right now. They don't care about your 'human rights' or your children's education or health, or the history of Britain.
I see the USA is getting a good dose of Somali Islamism. Prayer mats at knockdown discount prices at Walmart & Home Depot! Buy two, get none free!
