Immigration - An Evil or a Blessing



In every media report these days there is a story about immigration and its evils. I often wonder whether or not these people ever stop to thing about Britain without immigrants. Imagine waking up tomorrow and there were no immigrants here in the UK. What would it be like? Let me tell you. The essence of Britain as you know would be gone. It would be greyer and bleaker than a misty,Victorian London morn.


On a serious note though have anyone bothered to consider the contribution that immigrants have made to this nation or even where this country would have being without their help. Everyday the bone idle and prejudiced among us complain about i8mmigrants taking their work. However, it is an established fact that these immigrants come to the UK and work harder than most people do. they take the jobs no one else wants, for the pay no one else will for the employer no one will work for. Some leave their countries as qualified and well trained personnel but find that when they come here they can not find jobs in their fields. They in turn take on jobs that many people consider below them.


The graduates who get jobs in their fields will only do so if their is no qualified British person for the job. They then have to work harder to prove their worth and that they do actually deserve the job they have. For many years their lives will be spent getting the idiots among us to understand why it is that they have this job and not someone else.


Britain has to remember that most of the countries these immigrants come from was once or still is being invaded by what some called the British Expat. They go to these countries either as colonizers or just simple to live. What makes us safe from other people coming here when Brits can be found all over the world in great numbers.


I am not saying open the gate for all and sundry. I am just saying, treat others as you would have them treat you and remember be careful not to wish away the props that help to maintain your economic and social stability.
