Unemployed Britons ‘will take place of low‑skilled migrants’

[mos]

There's always this ridiculous idea touted that migrants only do the jobs that lazy Brits don't want to do. Competition does not work like that, taking in many foreign workers also impacts those that do want to work.

And why should manual workers in a fairly wealthy country have to compete with those from low wage economies anyway to subsidise the profits of business owners? They should get their fair share of the nation's wealth.

It beats me that people who view themselves as socialist are the ones promoting mass immigration. Leftist attitudes were a lot more sensible back in the 70s, the Labour party put British workers first and were very much against internationalism.

I agree that the idea of 'lazy Brits' which was used to pit them against 'desperate for work', 'low skilled' 'Poles' was very divisive, and contributed to such large numbers of native Britons voting for Brexit. Alongside over a million of recent Commonwealth immigrants whom Cameron gave vote in the EU referendum and who voted en mass in their best interest.

However another, equally ridiculous but equally popular notion that EU citizens are 'subsidised' by British taxpayers was debunked several years ago. Quite the opposite is the case, especially considering the impact on NHS. But the media chose not to talk about that.

Even if the immigration 'revolution' will stop the mass immigration , it does not follow that the protection for British workers would increase. Massive outsourcing of millions of traditional white collar jobs has contributed far more to the reduction of available job pool, and put more strain on what is considered a 'manual' work.

Do not forget these figures are calculated with out spending anything on the infrastructure. As has been pointed out previously you cannot let a city the size of Sheffield in and not address the infrastructure needs.

Why not? we've been doing just that for the past 15 years....

Sheffield: 582,000
Net migration: 283,000 (Sept 2018)

Should we just lock the doors, put up the barriers cause we're sinking?

And is it 68million in England or 56? These fact things are really hard to grasp.
