I'm not trying to sound racist, but seriously, come on already..... This is B.S. and we both know it.
Fair point, you've got to say that foreigners don't really have the right to come over here, given that the British have only ever wanted to stay in their own country and improve it in a self-sufficient fashion!!!

196,000 out, 574,000 in: Record numbers leaving Britain for new life abroad - as immigration to UK soars | Mail Online

The immigration problem is getting way out of control with so many unemployed immigrants coming over and draining the country of all the financial benefits they can claim for.

Sadly the honest hard working people are the ones who pay in the long run through higher taxes, (our sales tax was recently increased to 20%) to support these people.

The UK no longer feels a safe place to live
Don't forget that a big number of the incomers are UK born returning from all corners of what was the colonies after discovering life in warmer climes is not always as rosey as suggested.

Those issues which are of concern to certain folk in UK,drugs,crime,immigration and the like are as likely as not to be issues in their new land of choice as well.

Interesting how immigrants get the blame for increasing taxes. How on earth do folk expect the bank bailouts and financial mismanagement to be paid for?
