some people seem to think we should open the gates to every man woman and child, but bearing in mind some further up believe that immigrants don't get benefits (they will still need housing, feeding, healthcare, etc), i'd ask them this, WHO is going to PAY? and what effect will this have on the standard of welfare , healthcare everyone else receives?
I'm not say ing there aren't deserving case regarding assylum but, there is now a bandwagon that people are being encouraged/paying to join. It has to stop.
I'm sure that the stats prove that migrants to this country (whether from the EU or further) put more into this country in terms of tax that they take out.
A point that always bugs me, how comes when people come here we call them immigrants, but when brits go abroad we call ourselves expats ?
