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

Also, Maddox makes a good point in this article. http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=walmart

Although it's about immigrants in America, the same can be said about those who complain in the UK, aswell.



our population is made up of way more than 8% of immigrants id say closer to 20% and i'm not even over exaggerating , Immigrants that try to claim asylum should claim asylum in the nearest safe country but they don't they try there damned hardest to get to England because they know that this government will bend over backwards for them and give them very nice handouts and Muslims don't all embrace our culture and try to fit in not so long ago they wanted us to embrace sharia law, they want our women to walk around like towel racks covered head to toe cause it offends them



^You'd say 20%, but you'd be wrong.



according to panorama there 750,000 illegal imigrants in the UK, thats not very many if you consider the UK population is 65m or so

You're the one who is blinded.



@Phinch1 - I take it you read either the daily mail or the daily express as your chosen newspaper. Tabloids tend to sensationalise immigration because it moves papers. 90% of the info in those stories are taken out of context and the remaining 10% is just racist opinion
