Why are they coming here?

Bee..we can no longer afford to take in the migrants from Africa/India..we are full..

Our government must do something..Britain is no longer the land of milk and honey..

Our border controls are doing what they can..there is a camp site in Calais..just over the sea where there are thousands of Eritreans...Ethiopians..just waiting to hang under a lorry..

We have had TB introduced...as well as Aids..

People who were born here..and their Grandparents were born here...cannot get their children into school because all the places have been taken over by immigrant children..
 

Don't you think until there has been a full investigation into this tragedy and the outcome of that is known, it is too soon to start speculating.

Yes I do know about Calais.

As regards schools I have a 7 year old grandaughter living in London, her father is my son and her mother immigrated to this country to be with my son and they have never had problems getting her into a school, yes the school does have children of varying nationalities but I think that is a good thing, at least my grandaughter will not grow up with prejudices which to my way of thinking can only be for the best.

It's not about prejudice Bee...it is people who have lived here with their families..100 years or more..who cannot find a place for their children in a school here..whilst watching immigrant children taking their places..
 
OK I have done a search for these schools that you speak of and didn't find anything, perhaps you could post a link so that I can read it for myself.

Have to agree with Twixie here Bee, when the indigenous population who have paid taxes all their working lives cannot find a place for their own children, when our hospitals and doctors surgery's are bursting at the seams, when what housing is available is handed immediately to people just arriving by boat or train, (including houses where the ordinary person in the street will never be able to afford in their lifetime), when our welfare system takes from our poorest and the disabled and given instead to immigrants to send home to their children left behind in their own countries, there is something seriously seriously wrong with our system.
This is not a case of racism against immigrants, it is against wholesale immigration,The UK is one of the most tolerant, welcoming countries in the world to immigrants but we are full !! be it illegal or not, we are but a tiny island and unfortunately for us it seems as though the aim of almost every immigrant is to head straight for the UK, the supposedly land of milk and honey, but when it is to the detriment of it's own people and they are the one's suffering from the loss of vital services, it has to stop now.
 
I would love to have given you the links Bee..unfortunately they have all been eradicated..

So as not to cause any racial unrest..:)
 
If someone sat me in a chair..blindfolded in the middle of Hudds..and asked me to guess where I was..I wouldn't have a clue..
 
We still have plenty of room in the UK, and many of the migrants work a darn sight harder than many Brits. Most of our ancestors were migrants once.
 
Ok..I agree with that..but can we support anymore refugees from Africa/India/Iraq/ Syria..to the detriment of the people who already live here..regardless of their colour???
 
That's right Vivjen and the Sikh community are helping by providing interpreters, food and clothing for these people.
 
One thing puzzles me here..the Sikh community is a mighty community..they have enough money to help their fellow Sikhs..

Or is it a case of the Muslims..wait for the West to help them..even though they despise us..
 
The Sikhs here are helping the Afgan Sikhs; most of the people that were forced out of Afganistan went to India..
 
Immigration quotas are the key to a balanced nation that must maintain its citizenry with proper opportunities and services...
 
The quotas won't allow the entry of too many uneducated or unskilled preventing an overload of the system...
 
Any country with a soul will open their hearts to assist as many people seeking freedom from persecution and oppression as it can, even though some discomfort and inconvenience is involved.

Unfortunately my country has lost it's soul.

Our government has announced that because we have been total bastards in the way we treat asylum seekers who arrive by boat, we can now 'consider' taking 4,400 refugees from Northern Syrian and Iraq. Note the word 'consider' which is a politician's weasel word because it does not commit to actual action. Nor does it give a time frame. Is it immediately, over the next year or, as I suspect, over the next four years?

If it is the latter, that amounts to just 167 people per state per year, which is just a dribble. A pathetic effort IMO. Even if it is over the next year it is still only 667 people per state for one year. No wonder desperate people try to make their own way to safety and freedom.
 
It depends on the ability of a country to absorb refugees, and it would be a sin to take in so many as to degrade the ability of a country to sustain itself.
 
Well, we could absorb and support 167, or even 667 refugees in my suburb without degrading our social infrastructure in the slightest. This country has been built by immigrants and their descendants, many of whom were refugees. Some have become captains of industry and high achieving professionals and one from Vietnam has just been appointed as Her Majesty's representative (Governor) in South Australia.
 
Once again. it is all a question of balance...
