[MigrantCause.com] UK elections: Can't buy immigrants love

 

Can't buy immigrants love
Even before the most recent Mediterranean migrant boat tragedies, the immigration debate has been on voters' minds, ranking third (after the NHS and the UK economy) in a list of the most important election issues according to a recent BBC poll.
But most of us only think of immigration in a one-sided way: the 'us', an uncomplicated homogenous 'British' population; and the 'them',  the immigrants and potential immigrants that are coming to 'steal our benefits' / 'use our NHS' / 'take our jobs' / 'contribute diversity and multiculturalism' (delete as appropriate).
In reality, Britain is the biggest exporter of people in the European Union, according to The Guardian. Even the cost of immigrants to the NHS is vastly lower than the costs UK citizens levy on European national healthcare systems – so who are the 'health tourists' now?

John Major praises 'guts and drive' of immigrants in the UK

John Major praises 'guts and drive' of immigrants in the UK Comments: Mr John Major  is right about migrants in the UK and worldwide. Most of  migrants  leave their countries as asylum seekers fleeing persecution, lack of freedom and human rights abuses. Other leave their countries just to look for new opportunities. Arriving in the new countries such as UK , they work hard to survive. In most cases they have left their families and relatives. They have to share their earnings with the people their left behind and to support the education of their relatives.  They live in disadvantageous situations because they  are not  in the same situation like the British people who  have families that  help them to set up a business for example, pay their education, help them to raise funding or to get a bank loan, to inherit houses and other assets.
