If the roles were reversed and we were forced to flee we wouldn’t expect to be treated the way many immigrants are here
@9G4TNX27mos7MO
They’re fleeing their own country for safety, the least we can do is have a heart and give them a chance to live. They benefit the country, they’re not taking jobs. We should all remember that nobody in this country actually came from this country - Vikings, Anglo-Saxons etc. We’re all descendants from Europe - nobody is just British
@9G5XZHN7mos7MO
Immigration allows for a greater import of both low and high skilled labour, and helps diversify the country and educate the native British population on other cultures
@9FXXTSK8mos8MO
Immigrants are just people who want better for themselves and their family, where they are born should not determine whether they are allowed a safe or happy life. There is more than enough money and housing to go around, if only the very rich were a little less selfish.
@9G7LCVF7mos7MO
Aren't we all immigrants? Maybe from prior generations, but why should only the newer immigrants be penalized?
@9G2FT3L7mos7MO
The more people that come into the country the more likely the country makes more money which is also good for the people that come in due to entering a somewhat safe country and the opportunities that it gives them.
@9H33JHPLiberal Democrat6mos6MO
They are coming here for safety and deserve it. They’re people and they deserve respect and a chance.
@9GVDR4G6mos6MO
We do not as the majority of immigrants work hard when they arrive, and the UK Population is not exponentially growing
@9G8RCFD7mos7MO
It’s the same Immigrants that run this country, the same immigrants the kohi noor was stolen from. We dont
@9FTS4RC8mos8MO
Immigrants enrich our culture and make up the vast majority of our national services such as the NHS. Without them we wouldn't gave got through the pandemic.
@9MLNRP61 day1D
We need immigrants to balance an aging population. Most immigrants want to contribute to this country and should be given the opportunities to do so.
@9MBZPYJConservative2wks2W
As an immigrant, the path to legal status is long and expensive. If someone were to improve the UK why not have them work here
@9M5CPM33wks3W
Have a look at how many bone idle people there are in the uk what’s the issue with giving people jobs who want to want especially since figures show immigrants partake in unappealing jobs that uk born people don’t want to do. People who say they’re too many immigrants are either politicians who want a scapegoat or racist
@9M49SHY 3wks3W
Immigrants are the lifeblood of our country. We wouldn't be who we are with no multiculturalism, and immigrants are an important part of our society.
@9M3ZJNK3wks3W
There are far too many jobs that need filling and immigrants provide that. They also boost the economy!
@9LYWXCX3wks3W
They need help in other to live a bette life. There is a reason that they left their country, so there should be some help so that they can live in another country without feeling unwelcome. There is no point in sending them back to their country as they have left it for a reason and not to come back just after arriving in their desired country.
@9LXWPVR3wks3W
No we don’t we could have more people doing jobs like supermarket workers and we should welcome and legal immigrants
@9LWVYWB3wks3W
When we have the financial and geographical resources to be able to support people, it would be inhumane no to
@9LWM7F93wks3W
Immigrants are still people, if there are to many people in our country then it’s not them but the population as a wholes problem.
@9LWDG453wks3W
We have vacancies in the health service that need filling and immigrants are the best way of filling those vacancies
@9LVLBDQ4wks4W
Currently immigrants support the UK by working low wage jobs that most disregard, supporting the rest of society
@9LVFSDX4wks4W
We do not we need to process them quicker and have schemes to send back to safe countries that they have left and make safe routes for those who do not have a safe country of origin. I'm
@9LVD75G4wks4W
I think that we should welcome more immigrants in the uk and that we should help these people instead of sending them to Rwanda.
@9LVCZDT4wks4W
No we don’t if the Uk claims that they are taking scarce resources such as jobs and houses then the uk should make employment opportunities for immigrants more inclusive e.g customer service jobs that are not required to spoken in english
@9LVBB6K4wks4W
We need immigrants to do the jobs British people don’t want/can’t do. This country was built with the help of immigrants and they underpin our NHS, schools, public services and economy.
@9LTZYTL4wks4W
i strongly disagree with this statement, Immigration allows for a greater import of both low and high skilled labour, and helps diversify the country and educate the native British population on other cultures
Immigration is a net positive to the economy and helps solve the issue of our increasingly older population.
@9LTBSJY4wks4W
The birth rate in the United Kingdom is too low and without immigration we will not have enough young people to pay taxes and therefore fund our NHS and pensions in the future.
@9LSPZBZ4wks4W
If the roles were reversed and we were forced to flee we wouldn’t expect to be treated the way many immigrants are here
@9LSP6YMLiberal Democrat4wks4W
We are all human beings and everyone should be treated with kindness we should be open to everyone no matter their background.
@9LSM7ZL4wks4W
Immigrants make up masses of members of the NHS - without them the NHS would struggle more than it already does
@9LRKBZQ4wks4W
The immigrants are working and paying taxes with no recourse to public funding yet funding those that are living off Government/public funding. The Immigrants have to pay thousands in International Health surcharge and still pay national Insurance as well
@9LQY8N54wks4W
stop being nasty **** and accept that people move from different countries, they are not stealing your jobs or homes or whatever they are literally just people trying to do better in their life and live happier
@9LQ6YPG4wks4W
They are people who want the best for them and there family and they decide to risk there life for there family because they are desperate. They come here and they benefit us they take jobs that need to be filled and if you think that there 'stealing jobs' there aren't enough workers and they benefit the economy. People decide that they are doing bad things because they are selfish and racists and decide that people should have to go through trauma because they might think it inconvenience them. These people have seen everything and they are trying to save them and there family, rather than being selfish and petty like politicians who try to convince you they are bad
@9LPGXYD4wks4W
Most immigrants need safety more than citizens of the UK, they should be welcomed. There is plenty of empty housing in the UK.
@9LNDBPC1mo1MO
No lots of the UK's economy especially in agriculture is dependent on migrant and temporary works coming from both Europe and other areas of the world
We don’t. Look at how many vacancies we have. And can’t fill. And how much richer we are societally, culturally & morally when we welcome immigrants.
@9LDC8YP1mo1MO
Immigrants contribute in both underprivileged and working class areas and the upper echelons of society towards the betterment of our economy, often times doing the work British citizens would choose not to do. There is a severe lack of minorities and women who a born in the UK in stem fields for example, and immigrants fill those gaps and keep our economy afloat.
@9L8RPRY2mos2MO
imigrants should have a place in this country as its safe and not many people have the luxury of being in a safe space. its not their fault their country has become unsafe.
This country was built on immigrants, without immigration this country would collapse as there wouldn't be anybody willing to fill in the gaps left by natives here. Let us take the opportunity to show appreciation to the significance of immigration and how it has helped our country to remain afloat. You may say that we have too many immigrants so just think to yourself why are they coming to our country in the first place; is it to seek a better quality of life? Is it to escape the chaos in their native land? Ultimately, countries just watching crises in other nations unfold will have… Read more
@9L4VTC52mos2MO
Immigration is good for economy because it fills jobs and allows for new knowledge and information, certain immigrants will have skills which are needed. However, is they come to the country they must want to work or study
@9L4PJXY2mos2MO
We shouldn't have any immigration laws, we should have no borders. Borders are a made up concept. We should all be allowed to travel freely around the world
@9JNS3SRWomen's Equality4mos4MO
Immigrants provide cultural diversity to the UK giving them a wealth of diferent clothing, food and ideas for businesses
@9J7YXYS4mos4MO
No, your stupid. Diversity is important in the world and although we have an increased number of immigrants they are simply coming to seek sanctuary and/or a better life. Imagine if we had to do this, and we had to immigrate somewhere, I'd be angry too if I was denied simply because I wanted a better life for myself.
@9H4S3BG6mos6MO
We don't have enough workers to run this country, and immigration is the easiest and cheapest way of filling that need
@9H4M73F6mos6MO
They provide doctors, skilled workers and diversity, in exchange for refuge, it’s human rights and only good
@9H38T5Z6mos6MO
Each person who tries to get to the UK is in fact finding us a safehaven and will provide economic benefits.
@9H2RBHT6mos6MO
We don’t as there are ample resources for everyone, if spent rationally. Immigration brings younger, skilled, hard working people that only strengthen existing communities and economies. Also given that the UK has caused failed states and domestic/regional wars in multiple countries abroad it owes its dues to refugees seeking safe haven.
They are not integrated correctly within our country, we should do a better job of integrating these immigrants within our country
@9GZSJC36mos6MO
The world needs empathy and compassion not dehumanisation. People do not leave their homes lightly and those that do are showing such brave and determined nature we would be lucky to have them.
