Exactly where is the sense in flooding more and more people in for negative benefit, which ultimately makes everyone poorer?
This is a downward spiral, because as a country , we have failed to invest in our people with education and training.
It was made easier for industry to import labour and now we are paying the price.
The fact remains, not everyone that comes into the UK contributes for the better of the nation
Import so much cheap labour, they arrive with dependents and give next to nothing back, campared to what they take out.
It isn't tocket science
Rubbish? Thanks…you mean…you disagree. No great surprise there.
But, yet again you miss the point.

My response, to GP, was that…although I recognised his point, there is a real danger in suggesting that, ‘economically’ we cannot justify providing for the needs of those who are ‘not net GDP per capita effective/enhancing’.

Imo it turns people into mere commodities. It’s a very complex issue, I accept that, but we’re talking very fine lines and there are a great many people, probably including you and possibly all but about three on this forum, who wouldn’t score very highly if judged now on our individual contribution to GDP per capita efficacy.
