A comment about the myth that immigration is economically so good for a country.

Why is it always like this then:
(this is UK data)

"In Great Britain, in 2004, 58.9% of people of working age from ethnic minorities were in
employment, compared to 74.6% of the working age population as a whole."

Taken from this report by the "COMMISSION FOR RACIAL EQUALITY": http://cre.gov.uk/downloads/factfile01_employment_and_ethnicity.pdf


We don't need immigrants! Not even as labour.

its called institutional discrimination, we all know it goes on, your figures are also from 2004, five years ago, so may be inacurate for 2009.


also that is for people of ethnic minorities, not immigrants, many are UK citizens, that just tells me that we need to make sure they get a good education and the ability to get jobs.


What a cliché reply.

This is how it goes.

1. Social democrats/liberals/commies take in a bunch of immigrants & asylum seekers claiming they enrich the society

2. Critics find out that immigrants are leeches without work, living on well-fare, having old culture habits where mother stays home with children etc etc

3. Liberals blame it on racism (or any other more intricate word that still puts the blame on us white/Western people. You seem to call it "institutionalized discriminitation", here in Sweden it's called "structural discrimination". Because even liberals sometimes realize that u can't win debates by putting the racist tag on everyone) 

Well, the racism argument is of course a made up blatant lie, but lets pretend that the cause for such a low working rate among immigrants was in fact racism - then that is still an argument against immigration. Because after three decades of immigration, why havent these behavioural patterns changed? Fact is then that it is a myth that "immigrants are good for the economy cause they are in working age"- no matter if the cause is racism or other!

But you are just another dishonest liberal.

 

(and if u had read the report u would have discovered that the minorities from the colonies, people that have stayed in Britain for over 50 years or so, have employment rates that are almost as high as the medium, and a lot higher than the average for minorities, suggesting that racism has not much to do with it)
