        I would be more concerned about whether those immigrating into England are doing so legally or illegally. There's a big problem in the USA, especially in California, with illegal immigration. I have no issues with immigrants, so long as they enter any nation legally.

          We need a law like they have in Australia.

          They only let people in if you have what they ask for

              Oh, I doth believe the irony has escaped everyone so far.

              JakeS, when you leave England, you will become what you detest.

              Immigration is a double edged sword for any country that requires careful attention and consideration. Allowing all is anarachy and allowing none is insane.

                  What rubbish, where on Earth did you hear that? Do you know what's more harmful than immigration? Natives who are more ignorant than the people who just arrived. I honestly cannot stand all this "Johnny Foreigner" crap that's flying around lately, it's such an unpleasant hook for the tabloid readers. People who don't stop to think for themselves or understand what they're talking about at all. I won't ask if you know the facts because you clearly don't, so I'll provide some for you courtesy of your beloved British government.

                  Ethnicity and Religion:
                  The UK's largest independent producer of official statistics and the recognised national statistical institute of the UK.

                  Ethnicity, national identity and country of birth:
                  The UK's largest independent producer of official statistics and the recognised national statistical institute of the UK.


                  As you can see, the statistics do not exactly support your sweeping statement above.

                  But the real crowning glory is that you say that because there's so many foreigners arriving in the country you're going to leave England, arriving as a foreigner in another country and effectively doing exactly what your uninformed ramblings were spitting venom at other people for doing. And if there's any justice in the world, once you've arrived there you'll be hassled from start to finish by other uninformed ramblers who will complain that there's far too many of you around, "takin' our wimmin an' our jobs", and why don't you just go back where you came from. Except there's no advantage to doing so because you'll look like a hypocrite whether you come back home or stay there.

                  I mean good God, an anti-immigration fanatic who wants to migrate. Now I really have seen it all. Frankly it would be just as well if they cut down on immigration, it would mean less people who find out what idiots we have here.
