Are immigrants to blame for most things going wrong in this country?
The Sun', titled "Migrants 'ruining lives'" apparently they're to blame for everything according to a study by MPs. Soaring house prices, water shortages, energy prices going up, even the break up of relationships. :SHere's the article;
[I]A MASSIVE rise in immigration is wrecking the quality of life in Britain, a study by MPs warned yesterday.
Soaring house prices, water shortages, gridlocked roads and over-stretched public services are all linked to the population explosion.
The influx is also blamed for family strife as couples split under pressure of coping with higher housing costs.
And things are set to get worse, with a 7.2million growth in population predicted over 30 years � mostly from immigration.
Tory MP Julian Brazier, of the Cornerstone group of MPs, challenges party leader David Cameron to back his �quality of life� campaign with a tough immigration policy.
Mr Brazier says: �Overcrowding is a key cause of many factors which are destroying quality of life.�

See, I always find it quite funny, this. Much as large parts of the British public claim that immigrants are the source of all woes (and often mix the terms 'immigrant', 'asylum seeker' and 'illegal immigrant' interchangeably, as though they are all one and the same), what are immigrants doing? They are moving to another area to try and have a better life. Something that we all do. We may not always cross borders, but it's perfectly acceptable for someone to leave one area and move to another for a better job, or for lower housing prices or whatever.
Large companies are allowed to cross borders, manufacture in one area where it is cheapest, and sell in others where it is most expensive. Why then should the individual be foreced to stay where they were born, even if this means staying in relative poverty?
Many people seem to look down on 'finiancial migrants' as though they are somehow betraying their country to come live here in better conditions or they're 'bad for our economy' or whatever, but people have no problem with Brits moving abroad to retire in Spain because housing is cheaper, or people living on the outskirts of London where they can afford a big house with a garden and commuting into work every day... All these things amount to the same broad idea of going where the grass is greener financially, yet we only have a problem with it when you stick the 'immigrant' label there.

It's things like this that make me wonder how anyone manages to take these vile people seriously.
Find any tenuous link to immigration, add hyperbole and emotive scaremongering, and feed it to a nation too ****ing stuid to assert some balanced rationality to the argument.
I want out.
Sadly it's probably the same everywhere else.

Britain's policy on immigrants certainly does seem to be too lenient.
I believe that someone from abroad should only be granted residency in the UK if they've got something decent to offer to our economy, the classic example being doctors.

This is a topic not many will want to have an opinion on; but all will.
I don't think many people believe that immigration is a good thing, and as such wouldn't believe that it could be helping Britain or its economy.
I however, wouldn't know where to begin placing an argument either way. I don't have any statistics or real proof of anything to do with the matter.
Yet my opinion leads me to believe that immigration is wrong, and it's that general opinion that needs to be addressed.
