Immigrants of no benefit to Britain

Well we are pleased to see that the house of lords has been able to see what we have been warning of for years. Immigrants are of no benefit to Britain all they do is worsen conditions for our own poor.

Remember we did explain that the only people hailing immigrants as the greatest thing since sliced bread are employers who want people they can pay less and who will accept poorer working conditions, and socialist politicians who want less intelligent votes to bribe.

In our view the following should be applied now:

A quota system of 1 in for one out.(European or not)
Those coming in must meet strict rules applying to their skills
Those coming in should have NO automatic right to bring their families
No more asylum places full stop

Anyway you can read the report here.


Immigration does no good for Britain's economy and the number of people coming into the country each year should be capped, a parliamentary report has said.
Immigrants Protest At Westminster Migration statistics are 'misleading'

An inquiry by the House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee said the Government had "overstated the economic benefits of immigration".

It also said the Government should set an explicit target for the number of people allowed into the country.
Inquiry chairman Lord Wakeham told Sky News: "We recognise that immigrants to this country do a good job, but there is no economic benefit to the resident population and it is damaging to low-paid workers."

The report called current migration statistics "irrelevant and misleading" and said more work is needed to assess the true impact on local authorities.
Government claims that immigration is needed to prevent labour shortages have also been criticised for being "fundamentally flawed".

The Committee said the Govenrmnet should review its immigration policies and explain their reasons for them.
Committee member Lord Layard said: "The Government should set a target range for net immigration.

"Looking to the future, if you have got that increase in numbers and you haven't got any economic benefit from it, you have got to ask yourself is this a wise thing to do?"

Immigration minister Liam Byrne said the report was welcome.

"It proves we were right to set up the independent Migration Advisory Committee to tell us which workers our new Australian-style points system should keep out or let in."

Shadow home secretary David Davis welcomed the report's suggestion of a cap on non-EU migrants.

He said: "This is a policy that we have been arguing for for years and which the Government has consistently rejected."
