Stop immigration. I didn't say stop immigration, typical of you to jump to an extreme assumption. In the short term, the failure of successive UK govts to invest in training means we desperately need immigrants in some areas, at least til we get our **** together
Providing services - very grateful for the Indian nurse who tended to my daughter recently, not fussed about the army of Spanish barristas working for coffee-house chains who pay no UK tax
50% returning home - I guess you've made that up
Filling vacancies - like I said, I never said STOP immigration
Your downfall is that you start with a stance ('immigration is good') and find justification for it, I'm looking at solving a problem and can see that there are other more progressive ways of solving it, and that IMO the compound impact of mob-handing the problem just stores up grief for the future.
