British people, do you think that the immigrants in this country should go back to their own country?

jizzumonkey

u do realise that there are more Brits living abroad than we have immigrants in this country ???

So what we send em all home , get all the Brits back and become more overrun ??

Nothing is ever black and white !!

To a degree, yes I agree with you. I don't mind them being here, what I have a problem with, is that this is a Church run, Christian country (even if you're atheist), yet they expect us to change our views, laws and lifestyle to fit them in. Yet if we were to go to their country, as was prooven last year with the lady that recieved the flogging, we have to live by thier rules there too. Not fair. Our Country our rules...surely?

xsnudgex

Yeah the illegal ones should go.

We need to sort ourselves out before we let anyone else move here!

evatonian

we should shut the gates now and not let anymore in . we have more than enough here now ,

More the fault of the employers than of the immigrants themselves, dont you think?

Did you also watch the programme where a farmer wanted to pay minimum wage (which was all he could afford) to people prepared to pick his crop?
This was in somewhere where there is a very high rate of unemployment, so he advertised it in the local job centre, and the TV company interviewed unemployed Britons saying there was no way they'd work for that little, whilst the 'immigrants' were prepared to do it.

As long as they are working, or being supported by family rather than living off the state, I say "Welcome to our country."

However, I do not agree with anybody, Brit or immigrant, getting a better lifestyle by claiming benefits than they would do working. And in that case, for the immigrants, they should be told to support themselves or go home. And the Brits should be told to support themselves or their benefits stop.

I think that immigrants who come over here and proceed to live on benefits should go back. Others who come over, and get a job and earn their way should not be tarred with the same brush. Also, you cannot blame the immigrants for people who are fired....that is down to the ethics of the people who own the company. If they decide to disregard loyalty in the favour of cheap labour then, unjust as it is that's down to the owners, not the immigrants who simply went out and got a job

If they came here and settled in the Proper way then it is a matter for them to do as they think fit. All would be or could be immigrants should be shown the way out. Illegal immigrants should go back to their own country and live there by their own standards. Asylum seekers ,Refugees etc should be limited in numbers & entry based on what we could afford and for a finite period .All Immigrants should only be given Full Status after being a Tax contributor for an agreed minimum period .May sound harsh but any amendment has to be practical

old know all

Yes. Send the Anglo-Saxons back to Saxony. They've been nothing but trouble for the past 1400 years. The Normans kept them in order briefly, but now they're at it again, stealing all our woad and women. Send them home, that's what I say.

There isn't much we can do about them being here. The thing that gets me about a MAJORITY of them is they act like you owe them something - my 6 year old daughters school has a lot if immigrants and at home time the parents stand in a huddle talking their native language and would't even look at you to say hello like the other parents do. I sometimes think her education is slipping because the teacher has to spend extra time with those who have problems understanding the english language. If we were to go to their countries this would be expected i'm sure and no allowances would be made.

Only those who are not and do not want to be, a productive part of society or who do not want to integrate into our society. By this I do not mean that they should give up their own traditions but they should not try to change or denigrate our traditions and society.
We should welcome people who want to participate in our communities. They will enrich them. Those who want to change us should go home to a social climat that makes them comfortable.

Marco198

If illegal they should go but any legal people have the right to stay and work.

Anyone who is willing to work for the correct wage without being exploited then no problem let them stay.

All the lazy ones who just scrounge off the state then send them back home.

acegrimshoe

If they're here legally then I have no problem with "immigrants" getting a job and good luck to them. A job doesn't have nationality. There's no such thing as a British Job.
"They come over here and take all our jobs."
This is just racist,fascist hype whipped up by the right wing/tabloid media.
How many British people would emigrate to another country if they could? Would they, having done so, then expect to be told, "You can't work her because you're an immigrant." No they wouldn't.
Let's not forget the lessons history has taught us. Creating fear of foreigners was a favourite tool of the Nazis. Let's not go down that road ever again.

Look around you, in your home.

See any products Made in China?

The immigrants have not deprived you of work-you have!

If you dont support British Industry and British workers, thats why theres a dearth of jobs, because British consumers support Chinese industry to the detriment of our own.

Every pound spent on Chinese products is another nail in the coffin of British Industry, if we want prosperity for all we should invest in ourselves not our competitors.

Blaming immigrants, is easy, cheap and popular.If you want to address the decay in the prosperity and get Britain back on its feet, for all legitimate members of our Nation, you can start right now, by checking labels, packages and advertising for the words Made in the UK, the decision then is yours,which to buy, to support or sink your country.

TBH no I don't. In fact what I would like to see is a return to Transportation for convicted criminals.
I think scum like Ian Huntley and Myra Hindly et al, should be transported to prisons like Abu Graib in Baghdad, Iraq.

I don't think we should send them back. The immigrants who come over here to work are good for us. If we cant be bothered to work then there's going to be someone else to take the job. The ones we should send home is the immigrants (legal or illegal) who don't work and sponge off of us like that family living in 2 million pound house for free just to be paid for by us.

i think a lot of people confuse immigration and Integration. many people are either to young or uneducated to recall the influx of Asians into this country most of them were good hard working people who brought with them much of which we now class as british.how many people remember the days when shops were closed every wed afternoons?,closed by 5.30/6.00 o,clock each day.when exotic food from your local store would been curried beans or some such delicacy.whit each wave of immigration into this great country of ours comes more diversity which should be embraced.

hotzone49@yahoo.co.uk

We have far too many immigrants in the U K 75% should be repatriated, today

white right

yes and if they have married some from here they should gowith them as well

insert name here

the illegal ones yes and all the new ones coming over yes but not the ones that are allowed to be here, if we got rid of all the people not born in this country i wouldnt have any family left! my mum and dad were both born in singapore but have lived here since they were 5.

i hate the fact they steal the work, my garage is next to a giant fish factory and i think 3 people there are english and two of those own it!

we get people wandering in our garage with fooking great rucksacks asking where the fish factory is looking for a job, and to be honest it looks like most of them have just got out the back of a lorry

How far back should we go? Kick out anyone decended from a Norman, a Saxon, a Viking ....? I don't think your idea is as easy as it seems.

I think the trick to getting and keeping a job is to be well qualified and highly motivated. If someone else is a better candidate, is that their fault or mine? If we object to jobs being outsourced abroad, we have the power as paying customers not to use that company. That is part of the reason I no longer use BT and why certain insurance companies failed to win my business.

I think the illegal ones should go - there is not much you can do about the legal ones.......

:)

sirspanksalot

yes yes yes

Beastie

Illegal should go; anyone working here legally and paying tax is fine by me.

Assume for a moment the government was to do as you suggest. Thousands of people expelled from the UK back to their ancestral homeland for no other reason than they're not British beyond a couple of generations.

Foreign governments react to the influx of people by retaliating and expelling all of their citizens who have British heritage.

Hint for you. This is not a large country. There are millions of ethnic English, Scots and Welsh around the world; more people than currently live here. They would not fit.

I'm sure you'll be able to tell us the name of this programme you watched... because forgive me if I'm not willing to take your word for it.

Carrie B is right, this happens at my daughter's school too. At least half of all kids there are Polish. I work there, and when I speak to them they cant understand me. They all stick together and it makes others feel alienated. You can be sympathetic to a point. Its good to understand how hard it is to come to a foreign country and try to make your way, but where do you draw the line? When native people are feeling alienated here, or cant make themsleves understood in the workplace?? Its crazy. I cant do my job properly because these kids dont understand me.
Most of the non-teaching jobs are done by Polish women now, so when I try to move to another position where I can do better (be understood) I cant because the job's being done by a polish woman.

I dont know about sending everyone back. I think integration is good. I know a few europeans who integrate and are very nice people. I also know a few who only speak to other eastern eupropeans and dont integrate at all. I dont think it should be indiscriminate, as with everything. I do though think that jobs should be offered to those who have been in this country for a certain amount of time before being offered to new immigrants.

josh

hell yes immigrants should go back to there own country

'Insert name here'

What happens if they have children with british people and then their children aren't immigrats. Its not as simple as that....don't be silly. And everyone isn't 100% british if you go back far enough, british people go to Canada, NZ and Australia the whole time.

I Love Orange Juice

Immigrants are only getting more jobs because they are more willing to work for a much lower wage, because england to them is like 10 million mansions.

Major Disaster

It's a nice idea but how would you do it? If we forced them to go we would become an outcast internationally.
No, the answer is to halt immigration now, and make life more difficult for those that are here.
