Immigration has a massive benefit to our economy. Afterall, our population is made up of 8% of immigrants, but they make up for 10% of our GDP (which puts those "they come here to mooch off our benefits" arguments to shame).

At the same time, immigration has put a big strain on our public services, and bringing them back up to scratch will be costly, but, overall, immigration has a positive effect on our economy.

 

thats what i thought as well, i never bought into the whole daily fail argument about them being bad for the country
