Rules for Immigrants:
  • 10% than are allowed into this country must by law speak English or at least go to college to learn it.
  • Adapt to the British way of life
  • No segregation meaning intermingle with established British ethnic minorities and White Brits
  • Don't Impose negative aspects of your culture to this Country - so muslim Women are not stay at homes wife slaves to their godly husbands, no arranged marriages, etc
  • Respect the Country's culture - so many times I hear people say ''urgh this country's food is so rubbish'' or ''White people are rude'' if you can't respect the culture of the country go somewhere else where you'd respect the culture. Of course you can critize but not rudely.


Yeah thats true more mixed race people.
It's quite funny to see how people think political decisions should be made. No wonder UKIP is getting stronger and stronger.

He has one good point, though. The food. I don't understand this, either. When I went to Asia, the food was okay. Of course you found western food, though. But the Asian food wasn't my thing. Many things I could not have eaten every day. But If I moved to Asia, I'd find food I like, get used to some things eventually, or just cook myself, or whatever else. I also hear a lot of people in Europe complaining about the food. I realize it's something you do every day, you have to eat every day, but there are choices. Even in big cities, western food wasn't everywhere. Not even close. There are way more places in Berlin, Paris, London etc. offering Asian food than places in most Asian cities offering western food.
I once had a viral infection there because of the food. Wasn't too pretty. So I know what I'm talking about.

I'm pretty liberal myself, but he has another good point. He just worded it badly.

Of course nobody wants this. I want gay rights, I want women's rights etc. You wouldn't want that, either. But the flaw in this argumentation here is that it's not happening. They can do whatever they want in their home as long as it's legal, but to change anything else, they'd have to become politicians.
But they won't join the National Front in France, the CDU in Germany, or the UKIP in the U.K. They join liberal parties and have liberal views.
I wouldn't like arranged marriages. Would you? I think everybody should be free to choose who they marry. No matter their sexual orientation, religion, wealth, or anything else.
But even those who are immigrants, weren't born in "the West", are often times more liberal than their counterparts in the countries they came from. Maybe that's why they even considered moving in the first place.

Population demographics are one of the most difficult statistics to predict. Even most educated guesses fail. Who would have predicted in 1950 that Detroit would have 700,000 inhabitants today?

I think this is another UKIP style propaganda similar to those 'predictions' that The Netherlands and France will have a muslim majority by 2050, and Europe as a whole in 2100...

How about Northern Ireland instead? Or someplace in rural north Yorkshire?

Economic researchers said a week ago that my country needs 100,000 new immigrants in the coming years. So we could take some of yours.

I'm so glad I'm not European. I don't have to worry about white minority this or brown majority that since I already live and am from the land of the mixed race. Of course, some people like to think otherwise of northern North America, but facts are facts. In Europe's case, though, I wouldn't like the idea of white people being a minority on their own continent. There will be some of you who will take that statement the wrong way, but let me put it to you this way: how would you feel if white people started flooding into, say, South Africa and is going to overtake the black population in a couple decades? The blacks there would be fuming, and many are still fuming that there are even a little bit of whites still living there.

They say that here: we need immmigrants to fill jobs americans don't want to do. What that really means: immigrants accept jobs at wages and conditions Americans won't accept.

That is exactly my beef with anyone that says that crap that we need more immigrants. No, we don't. We need more jobs, not more immigrants. More immigrants = dilution of wages and dilution of unionization.
