Popular Alliance Immigration Response

by Craig Chapman - 08:51 on 08 September 2008

This morning’s TV news were wheeling out the newly formed cross party group of MPs who work together to monitor levels of immigration and migration. Labour’s Frank Field and the Tory's Nicholas Soames are probably the best known members of this group. 

Firstly, we fully support cross-party think tanks and call for more, so that many aspects of our lives, especially health care and education are not used as political pawns and point scoring modules. 

We are informed (once more) that at the present rate of immigration versus migration, we can expect a housing demand to build the equivalent of 10 new Birminghams by 2020, with Britain’s population due to grow by another 7-10 million.

Popular Alliance have recently used such figures to question the need for the splurge of Eco-Towns touted by our housing rottweiller Caroline Flint. Nowhere in the paperwork for these Eco-Towns do they mention population growth – they prefer to use terms like “affordable housing.” We also stated that such projects would be “White Flight” ghettos, where the white British residents from cities and towns are fleeing the immigrant build-ups in their former home districts. 

They suggest that we should offer 4 year working visas for immigrants from outside of the European Union, after which the immigrant should go back to their original country and that immigration (again) from outside of the EU should equal migration.

They also claim that each working immigrant improves our economy by 62p per immigrant per annum. This is a pathetically small figure to justify changing the face of our cities and culture and we can quite readily assume that they had to juggle their statistics like mad to even arrive at this low level of attempted justification. This is certainly a lot lower than previous figures snottily thrown at us by many politicians during recent years. We ask, does this include each non-working immigrant family member too ? Most doubtfully – they just drain the healthcare, education and social care budgets that our taxes pay for - they all need houses and drink water. 

Whilst an improvement on the present free-for-all that is actively encouraged by Labour policies, we genuinely believe that the above touted system is still too open for mass exploitation. 

Popular Alliance propose :- 

.... a points / quota scheme for whether an immigrant is going to be of benefit or burden for our nation. We favour controlled immigration of professionals who can benefit our country and be respectful of our culture.

.... leaving the European Union because the above figures and motives only include those coming here from outside of the EU. It does not matter where people come from, they are still filling our island far beyond the levels that can be managed on our roads, in our housing, our power demands, our water needs, our healthcare, schools, benefits etc. Any argument voiced against this statement is bad economics and lacking basic common sense.

.... radical plans to get British people out of the claim culture and into work, vastly reducing their reliance on and access to benefits, in turn vastly reducing the government’s claims that we need to import one work force, whilst another sits on its backsides and leaches off society. 

.... that all immigrants are responsible for their own health care, education and housing costs for the first 2 years that they are here and working, whether by insurance (health care) or whatever. Our present government has sold most of its assets during its “prudent” 11 years in office and the previous government sold all of our energy resources, so any claim they make about “long term decisions” clearly reveals that they haven’t got a clue what they are on about and cannot be trusted to do their best for the people who voted them into power.

Our nation can no longer afford to be the magic cash cow of the world.
