Immigration

I'm going to be brave and pounce on the hot potato that so many of us are afraid of discussing in the watching shadow of political correctness that engulf's today's society.
Immigration has long been celebrated in a variety of countries, including the UK, but over the last 12 years of Labour leadership public concern has rocketed over this issue.

One of the reasons for this is down to EU Freedom Of Movement law; Britain is powerless to turn away any EU economic migrants. They are allowed full access to our benefits, housing and jobs market.

Another reason is the Government has failed to notice any public concern, or simply chose to ignore it. Just a matter of weeks ago a Cabinet Minister on the Labour front-bench said that problems with immigration were an "urban myth". It is such comments as these, and not the typical comments of ordinary working people, which are inflammatory and risk escalating racial tension.
It is such comments as these where the government choses to simply ignore the issue, or simply give hollow soundbites "it is time to get tough on immigration" that transforms public concern into anger.

Why Do We Need To Be So Careful Discussing Immigration?
If it were not for the likes of the British National Party, which capitalise on this concern to such an extreme extent that the PC-brigade now link anyone concerned over immigration to a racist or facist, then perhaps we would have had an in-depth serious debate about this a long time ago, but unfortunately it is far too late to reverse the sheer scale of immigration we have experienced in the past 12 years. It is however, never too late to reverse the politically-correct dogma attached to this issue and if we approach with an open mind we can debate it seriously and fairly.

So what are my thoughts on this delicate matter? Well for a start, I don't think it is a delicate matter at all. I am genuinely concerned about immigration, and I have the right to show this concern the same as I am concerned about other domestic issues, but perhaps more importantly, I am more concerned about the wrath of political correctness and back-door communism which is affecting our ability to discuss it properly.
If the lefties jeer and call anyone who questions immigration a racist then how are we to solve the problem?

Will any other Government make a difference?
Some people think that a change of government may be the answer. But let's be clear... the Tories may well be stricter on non-EU immigration but like Labour and the Lib Dems should they ever get into power, they are powerless to halt or control any EU immigration, regardless of whether we have the capacity or means to cope with the influx.

If we had no immigration then we would be turning away many skilled workers we need for our country to prosper. Curry houses would be a rarity as would any foreign restaurants and we would have a monotonous culture.
However, if we had too much immigration, as I believe we are experiencing, racial tension will escalate and I fear we could have a civil war on our hands if the recession deepens and the influx of economic migrants continues.

So what am I saying here? Too much immigration? Too little?
Yes, I think the UK has experienced far too much immigration but do I want it to stop? No.
Do I want it to continue in the current fashion? No.
Do I want it to be controlled properly? Yes, and the only way we can manage immigration effectively to suit OUR country is to leave the European Union.
The big-3 parties which I shall refer to as the LibLabCon all support ever closer union with this political European Union. The only party to oppose the EU is The UK Independence Party.

In conclusion my thought on immigration is simple. If we left the EU we would be able to allow immigration to be high when we have a shortage of skilled workers and for it to be set low when we experience overcrowding or racial tensions, so we can root out the racists and ensure a proper and fair integration of these migrants into our society. That is only fair on the migrants themselves and on our country.
