Are you suggesting immigration is good, even when uncontrolled? In our case, set by a Labour Government's massive mistake. How far would you take this, completely without borders? How about healthcare, education, jobs, housing and let's be honest the whole infrastructure of the UK?
Yes immigration is good an no it wasn't uncontrolled, this country desperately needs immigrants to survive and thrive for reasons such as...
We have a falling birth rate and an aging workforce, we need to increase the number of those working to a higher level than ever before to pay for the pensions and services which will be needed as the current workforce retires.
We as a country have moved to a mass university education and increased expectations of jobs/careers meaning indigenous people don't want to do essential jobs like cleaning, nursing, carers, labourers etc, immigrants will fill those gaps.
Most immigrants move to improve their prospects, they are hard working and willing to contribute to the overall economy.The more people in an economy (of working age or younger) the stronger the economy is. Immigrants are great for this as they are rarely middle aged or older.
Sh*t, now there's a dilemma; 'these bl**dy foreigners' come over here and then work hard and contribute to the economy whereas 'proper UK people' are lazy skivers.
I'm going to have to go and lie down.
