ahh you see, now you are going into details
if you want to discuss the details I suggest you contact your local MP
do a search on google for his name, he should have a website, go to his website and click on the contact link and then phone or email him with your question
all the best

Pressure on the availability of housing keeps house prices high
High house prices keeps the British population content
A content British population is happy with their debt levels and happy to keep spending in their essentially service based economy
A spending British population is good for jobs everywhere and not just in Britain
On the other hand, if immigration were to be stopped and the pressure came ioff the housing stock and prices began to fall and house owners lost confidence in servicing their debts and consumers tightened their purses and stopped spending there would be the mother of recessions and a recession in the UK _will_ affect other economies in mainland Europe
and none of us no matter where we are want this scenario
I hope that helps, and now you will agree immigration is good for the uk

How does that help if immigrants are not buying houses? What about immigrants that get council houses that the British taxpayer has to pay for but people that were born here can't get a house because the council have to meet "ethnic targets"?

and we all know consumer confidence is great for the economy
and we all know a great economy is good for jobs
which means, this skills shortage in the building trade is good for IT contractors

It all makes sense now.
Perhaps the cure for cancer is more immigration? Seems to fix all other ills.

Another excuse to allow in millions of immigrants, whether or not they've got the relevant skills. This country is going to hell in a hand cart, or whatever the saying is.

Another shortage?
Skills shortage 'threat' to 2012
A shortage of skilled tradesmen could hinder progress on the Olympic building work, parliament has been warned.
LibDem MP Don Foster said there was a "huge skills shortage" in electricians, plumbers and the building trades.
"Britain is facing a huge skills shortage that could undermine the success of the Olympics," he told MPs.
The government said the Games would be ready on time and addressing the skills shortage would be one of the 2012 Olympic legacies in east London.Tags: None
