1/yes
2/No
3/Don't know.
All of the above,
unfortunately the facts on immigration vary wildly,
and are contradictory in the extreme,
So we end up with both,the for,and against camps,
depicting completely opposing facts.
So It's just not possible,
for all of the claimed facts,to be actual facts.
Having concerns about immigration,does not make you a racist.
Finding The true facts on immigration maybe easier,
if every negative comment,were not greeted by finger pointing,and accusations of racism.
Remembering that most of us,
have some johnny foreigner in us,
somewhere down the line.

Facts are usualy bound up in statistics. Ie productivity goes up...gdp increases..etc...but the fabric and habits of a society is not dictated by the bottom line of an account sheet. You want to see the havoc that mass immigration and the imposition of foreign cultural beliefs can have on a society?
Spend a week in magaluf. |

Stats are only useful when representing a view.
It says 26% of doctors. However doesn't state where they were born? EU, Western countries or elsewhere.
As for 60% less likely to claim. Is this skewed because they don't know how to or they are here illegally?
Just don't believe everything. The information can be taken out of context as with most things in the media. |

Don't think most people have anything against authorised immigrants... Its the illegal ones who get over here and work illegally that's the problem.
Amazing how so many people from Africa can travel through several European countries to get to the UK and claim their life is in danger in Africa. If it was in danger, surely they would just of travelled to the first safe country they got to. But no, France, Germany, Spain obviously are not safe, they need to come to the UK. Wonder why.
