You really don't understand my post do you? I suppose you would let everyone who is waiting in Calais in, feed them, water them and give them money just because they demand it?

I understand exactly how ludicrous your post and position is, that's why I was making the equally ridiculous point about certain players who have benefitted fom immigration. Your nonsensical argument falls down when you begin to separate out those who "have come here because of work and they posses a certain skill" and the rest. How can you possibly judge people whilst you have your head so deeply ensconced in your Daily Mail?! I work with many so called illegal immigrants here in South Africa and without fail they are all very well educated and articulate people, one is even a doctor. Sadly however, this country has an even worse attitude to immigrants than you do, and these attitudes are then picked up by the man in the street who on several occassions in the last few years has taken to sticking tyres around the necks of immigrants and setting fire to them. It's called xenophobia and it seems to be rearing its ugly head right here on the HOL. Don't think for a minute that such things couldn't happen in the UK because they could. I recently met one of the local leaders of the xenophobic violence here, it turns out he's quite a nice guy at a superficial level (just as I'm sure you are). He has a decent job and a decent house, by township standards in SA he's doing well. He never though he was racist and had no real hatred of foriegners but somehow got caught up in the media fed frenzy and before he knew it he was organising house raids on immigrants and trashing their homes and beating them up. He's not proud of what he's done and he knows he's in a lot of trouble, but he also realises that he was totally wrong. The Ethiopian shopkeeper in a nearby township hasn't taken anyone's job, rather he opened a shop where there wasn't one and now employs two locals thereby creating work. The many Zimbabweans I know here all fled because they genuinely feared for their lives. Some of the women have been repeatedly raped by Mugabe's regime so they would rather risk their lives crossing a relatively safe land border (no desperate boat trips here) than remain at home. They would also rather face the wrath of the xenophobic violence than return home. I have a few friends from the DRC who will tell you that if they were forced to return to their homes they would kill themselves because they are so scared. Another friend of mine came from Angola, his parents paid for him to be smuggled into SA during the conflict in Angola. His parents were killed during the conflict and he has no home to return to. This particular guy is fluent in seven languages but still can't work here legally, despite being well educated and a totally quality guy. I for one would accept all of these people because not a single one of them would be a draw on local resources and benefits, rather, they all would (and do) contribute to the local economy. I value people for they are not for what I'm told they are so I'll leave you and your well earned yellow card to continue in your rabid ranting. I for one am out of this discussion. Oh I see so we'll let all these people in because they demand it and they want money. Football players come here and are paid money so they can support themselves, these people are coming here because they want to be fed, watered and want BENEFITS. Why the hell can't they go somewhere else? Why here? They are just bloody parasites. Of course living in cape town it won't affect you will it? It'll just affect the rest of us here who are trying to make a living and are already seeing are population rising to a ridiculous level. Jesus Christ does anybody understand the implications of caving into these people and letting them all come? Are people so stubbornly stupid that they just let this go on? Well from what I've read the answer is a resounding yes. There's no telling some people. Unbelievable. I'm done arguing with idiots. Of course Enoch Powell saw all this happening, but what the hell, let everyone in. MORONS. Do you honestly think they're all going to open shops, FFS. Oh and I don't just read the Daily Mail-good paper though it is-I read many to get a proper view of things. You ask the truck driver who is threatened by an immigrant or a group of immigrants. How long before a truck driver is killed. Yeah I have a yellow card, but if it's for saying what I believe then so be it. I'm not going to pretend to have some silly multi culti view just to fit in with everyone else's craven stupidity. It's time things were said that people are too scared to say for fear of being shouted down by some Guardian reading idiot. Edited by fed up eagle (04 Aug 2015 4.04pm)

Not actually true - there was an interview with a guy the other day on the Beeb - cant remember exact country of origin but he was a qualified accountant - now you could argue that accountancy isn't exactly an area where we need to welcome immigrants with CIMA qualifications with open arms but not everyone hopping the fence is here to grab as many benefits as they can and f* our daughters...

Edited by The Sash (04 Aug 2015 11.11am) The thing is, once an asylum seeker is granted asylum in any other EU country they will have the same rights to movement of labour as any other citizen throughout the EU, so could actually come here if they wanted. Interestingly in the first quarter of the year around 250,000 people came to the EU to claim asylum; less than 10,000 came to the UK, over 70,000 went to Germany, with France and Italy receiving over 30,000 each. Even Hungary had 17,000 applicants. The myth that immigrants all want to come to the UK just doesn't stack up**. And the availability of benefits and the amount paid to immigrants is not appreciably different to most other EU countries. I have noticed that it is only immigrants in France at Calais that are breaking down fences, boarding trains, running through the tunnel and breaking into cars and Lorries that are in the public eye. This is not happening in Germany or Hungary. I wonder why....could it be that we pay ANYONE who enters a pile of cash and give them a house and free healthcare which in turn brings the whole countries services to a critical state as it is now.....not to mention once some are in they bring their whole family tribe in???? Exacttly. You hit the nail on the head Sir.
