What a strange idea. Are you against other human beings coming to this island, or are you against alien lifeforms immigrating to Earth?

OK,setting aside EU membership, what in your opinion are the benefits of immigration in this country.........I'm not interested in the cons because I know already what they are
Also in giving your opinions I would like to know what line of work you are in and how,if it all, immigration effects your line of work
You haven't figured out how this linear bulletin board works like have you?
Anyway, given FM's cogent points and the fact migration levels will be naturally dropping now, why should there 'be a restriction on immigration' now then?
I've been through this god knows how many times over..........I think you know full well what I think so why bother asking me to put it in text
Anywho...........What are the benefits of immigration in this country?How does immigration,if it all, effect you?

It's Britain.
Most European countries, including this one have strict immigration policies.

Care industry relies on a lot of immigrants because its hard soul destroying work and they pay peanuts .Last place I worked often found myself the only british member of staff on duty .Probably says something bad about our society.
To help bring in different skills to the workforce, providing new opportunities. Top improve diversity and drive change in the workforce. To offer links to their 'home' countries, possibly opening up new markets to local firms. The increasing rate of migration also reflects the core and periphery model we keenly consume - our low prices are largely because because we're reaping the benefits of paying peanuts elsewhere - and folks elsewhere have a 'right' to benefit from the model if it has to be there
And numerous other reasons, not least the fact the GB's a former colonial master that's benefited from and promised a lot to its past 'subjects'
I'm currently acting as a carer btw. Strangely enough most of the best carers my father relies on are immigrants.
What skills do polish brick layers have that british brick layers do not?
How many countries in the EU are GB's former subjects?
Don't understand that part sorry
In short we only benefit from low prices because we're fucking over people elsewhere. See that £2 t-shirt 'decent hard working native Brits' are lapping up in Matalan and the child labour in sweatshops on the other side of the world. They're connected you see.
The majority of immigrant workers are not skilled workers so IMO the above is not correct
No,just experience over the last few years

Ooh. I think you may be a tad out of touch. I deal with migrant workers every day... Haven't you heard of the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (now closed to new entrants)?
For every factory hand or cleaner - there are accountants and bankers and doctors and lawyers etc. Usually with a superb...one more time....superb work ethic.
Immigration does need to be controlled I completely agree. It's not just people randomly moving about, obviously people will move to where the money is.
The present situation where a lot of people are forced to come to rich countries to work illegally is just a mess, it makes it much harder for unskilled workers who are born in the country and means that a lot of the workers who come to the rich countries are exploited horrifically.
It's a difficult question because it seems like it's impossible to stop people sneaking into the rich countries, but it would be a mammoth task to have everybody who wanted to come to the rich countries working legally

But i'm right though
You find the fingures on how many polish people coming to the UK are skilled or even semi skilled..........small portion I would bet
The polish come to the UK to avoid national service
The Iraqis,Kosovans,Afghans come here to avoid persecution in there home countries(who can blame them)
