When I left grammar school, many of my mates went to the local secondary modern, some became apprentices, joiners, plumbers etc;
although many went into the local factories unskilled and did repetitive jobs that required little training. These jobs have now vanished
to be replaced by supermarkets, warehousing, retailing, and similar industries. It is these jobs that many immigrants have filled, and made unskilled work harder
to find, (Bimbo Bob's post about lazy Brits does have resonance too). I've no idea what your industry is, but if it calls for linguistic skills, then I've no
problem with your company employing migrants, there is obviously a shortage of home grown workers with such skills; that is the point, we have no need to
import workers with no skills whatsoever.
After reading your last few posts I am assuming that you are desperate for somebody to call you racist? Its not happening but you keep going on about it
Look back over the thread and there are numerous instances where other posters have been called just that for daring to raise the issue, they have no logical argument in favor of MASS uncontrolled immigration so resort to playing the race card.
As for uncontrolled mass immigration suppose the best argument is that the most successful countries in human history have been the ones with the most immigrants, and the insular countries have usually been poor relations/basket cases
Your case for the most successful countries can only mean America and Australia ?, both countries were almost empty and still expanding/ building, how then does that compare to a small Island with an excess in the workforce and finite resources of schools, hospitals, public services, housing ect ?.
Rock and a hard place for me this one.
Totally shit to have to stay in. Absolute mare if we have to come out. Can we just declare war on them instead?
Yet you contradict your very well made point by stating that their are "Millions of foreigners here doing those jobs", and thats the real bug bare for many people.
What are "Our" unskilled to do when cheap migrant labour is filling those jobs ?, not only are they not earning to contribute tax & ni, but are a further drain on the benefit system, you can not force them into work when there is none, without the flood of cheap migrant labour these jobs would be available, THEN the job centers could sent claimants to available jobs and if they did not want to take them cut the benefits.
Most people have had to do jobs they hated just to put food on the table, its a great motivator to improve your lot by learning or finding a better way to earn a living.
The idiots that cry "Racism and little Englander" are an affront to common sense, any finite resource is effected by the numbers.
THE QUEEN BACKS BREXIT!
Is the headline in today's Sun.
It was always obvious but I'm glad she has come out and said it.
No knighthood for that turncoat Cameron and his ilk..hopefully.
The real reasons for mass immigration are.Had a quick look back and it appears to be mostly the 'outers' accusing the 'inners' of being racist, especially left wing 'inners' but hey ho, maybe you see something I cant

Not sure if its chicken and egg, success leads to immigrants rather than immigrants lead to success, probably a bit of both, either way you should be pretty happy about being lucky enough to have been born in such a place that people will risk death trying to get to

The real reasons for mass immigration are.
U.K. Economic growth in working age population and net contributing population comes mainly from inflation and immigration factors so to maintain growth, tax revenues, protect government spending and attack deficit mass immigration has been required .
This protects the UK also from the demographic time bomb, immigrants on average are early in their career so have tax paying wealth creating potential and that is used to fund the ageing UK population for health and retirement.
The FT had a great analysis from 1995 to 2011 showing Eu immigration added a net contribution of 8.8bn to UK coffers for example. The drain on the UK coffers from native Britains in that time was 604bn (obviously not like for like as one population was exponentially bigger than the other)
It was also demonstrated that those industries with a higher % of immigrant workers had higher productivity concluding each X 1% rise in immigration brought an incremental 0.07% productivity improvement .
Other arguments around diversity, skill based, demand, labour flexibility, lowering the age of population, specialist requirements in certain sectors etc can also be made.
There is also the reality that digital, globalisation and technology Have made competition , capitalism etc truly global and anyone who truly believes in capitalism and globalisation actually should support the free movement of capital and labour and therefore immigration for economic reasons. It is somewhat ironic that it is really the left that should oppose immigration and the right who should be supporting capitalism if true to principles
With digitisation , the taxation issues around transfer pricing , global freeing up of capital etc the March of history is towards greater movement of people and capital, bigger trading blocks , global rules etc and that is a tide that cannot be stopped.

Well, apparently, the racist, fascist EU is starting to remove all these valuable immigrants from Western Europe
