To be honest, If I new the answer I would on the 10 o'clock news tonight.
The current situation is that the country cannot support the
imigration of peoples in the numbers currently being recieved. That is both
legal and illegal imigrations. Recent estimates of illegals in the UK vary
from 300,000 to 1 million. This in a country around the size of Florida.
This is of course an unsustainable state. this is generally the case
in many european contries. This has been the fuel for the recent shouting
from the bellfreys in many countries.
I'm not one to believe that this situation is 100% bad for any country
in the long term. The increasing supply of cheap labour for example, does
have an impact on economies. I'm not one to believe that if an imigrant takes
a job, there is one less job fro me. Generally it just means there is one
less really shitty job that I would never have contemplated doing.
As for the Lazy ass issue. The majority that I know are indigenous.
The great majority of imigrants are very industrious people. The problem
seems to be. That illegal imigrants can only get illegal jobs. Likewise legal
imigrants can only get low paid or low skilled jobs. This then automatically
adds them to the long list of people that are close to the poverty line and
need financial assistance from the state.
Im not sure wheather the genetically dissimilarity has much to do with
the issues. Other than the perception of the indigenous population. Which is
obviously the root cause of racial hatered or distrust. It thankfully doesnt
appear to be a factor in excepting or denying imigratoin rights.
I know this doesn't really answer the question, but like I said. If I
knew the answers..
Alex
