What do you think is wrong with the immigration system?
You must be joking? Its shocking we have immigrants coming over from everywhere and half of the dont have a decent trade if any trade at all! And they live of benefits?!
More detail please? More facts? Immigrants from everywhere? whats the problem? Most are from America and Austrailia, is that ok?
Most don't have skills? On what do you base that?
I'm presuming you are smart enough to know that those from the EU are as free to live here as we are, so, what particular section of non-EU immigrants do you have an issue with?
Overview: Net immigration has added 1.5 million people to the population over the last 10 years. Two-thirds of them have come from the continents of Asia and Africa. In 2006 the total UK population was 60.6m. If net immigration continues at its current rate, as the government actuary's department calculates, the total population in 2031 will be 70m, and by 2081 it will be 85m.
The numbers: People born overseas account for about 10% of the population. This is up from just more than 6% in 1981 and just over 8% in 2001. This is compared with 24% in Australia, 23% in Switzerland, 19% in Canada and 13% in America. In France that figure is 8%, and 7% in Denmark.
The people: In 2006 the largest numbers of immigrants were born in Africa and the Middle East (3% of the working age population) and the Indian sub-continent (2.5%). Those born in the east and central European EU member states – the A8 - made up 1% of the working age population. Today A8 immigrants account for one in three of new immigrants since 2004.
Me personally, i have a issue with people taking up are land and not working for it but hay im sure your cool with people moving into a country to enjoy there benefit system?
