Maybe half the problems people perceive with immigration wouldn't be there if it was better planned for and managed.Shadow immigration minister Damian Green said: "Without a visible improvement in the government's ability to plan and control immigration, public confidence in the system will remain low."
Govt and their policy makers are shrewd enough to protect their "vote banks" by not painting any community bad in the public domain.OL7MAX wrote:vin123, may I clarify something? If it's your assertion that people from South Asia account for a disproportionately large percentage of benefit fraud - the corollary of which is that they are inherently more dishonest - is there some evidence you have to back it up, or is it just a gut feeling?
There was a survery a couple of years ago testing honesty across different nations ....
My answer is: I strongly feel that only less than 50% (of course this is my own statistics) of the really deserving ones end up in this country and there is no place to any immigrant regardless of their background coming with that "eat the free cake" attitude that I mentioned earlier. I dont think we can achieve a 100% in anything but if you can stretch that to atleast -70 or 80%, UK will benefit a lot from immigration.Never mind the "native born British"; do you welcome immigrants with open arms?
I've had to read through quite a lot of the viewpoints expressed by Migrationwatch (UK and otherwise). While some of their data is interesting, the extrapolations and so-called ''logic'' that follow from their highly selective data sets color a picture that is quite distorted toward their personal viewpoints and agendas.Sir Andrew Green of pressure group Migrationwatch UK, said he believed the current rate of immigration was not sustainable.
"Even at the present rate it's still well above the Government's assumption for the future and that assumption would mean that we had an extra million people every five years," he said.
Danny Sriskandarajah, a migration expert with the Institute for Public Policy Research thinktank, said that the figures should neither surprise nor alarm.
"The challenge for policymakers will be to make the most of increased mobility, not pander to reactionary opinion by trying to curb flows."

One point of arguement could be that when the Brits colonised the commonwealth nations, they also went to these countries like us for a better and more properous future. How are we different?!!
