1m immigrants given British citizenship in the past decade!

[El Presidente]

Some immigrants are doing a good job with fraud at the moment

So are some British, being an immigrant doesn't make you a fraudster, being a **** does.

True but my Mrs ( who works in a bank) is having a terrible time at the moment. Fraud has increased and the Frausters are not English.

Eastern Europeans have certainly brought a new level of fraud to our shores.They are clued up on scams, fraud and identity theft

That's an insult to our own born and bred fraudsters though. People would WEEP in Liverpool if they thought there were better people than them at milking the system, and probably put in a claim for compensation for the distress caused.

These are not Eastern Europeans. Her bank looks favourably on the Poles.

You are right we have enough problems of our own so why let a new influx of them in purely to screw the system?

 

[adrian29uk]

Racist.

If you are genuinely calling me a racist, you have totally missed my point. I'm actually quite sad being accused of this, and it just shows you what a sad situation this country is in.

Evidence for these claims?

 

[coventrygull]

Evidence for these claims?

Well I have just mentioned the increase in fraud in my wife's bank for starters

Well there you go, Algie's claims have received absolute confirmation.

I'm talking about people from Romania,Bulgaria, Iran and yes i know there not from Europe

Its all very stalinist i'm afraid. The left are very good at callling people names who dare to voice any kind of opposistion to the system

And the right are very good at making mass/crass generalisations with only a shred of contentious evdience.

Back to my original question.

Did this overcrowded country really need one million new citizens in the past ten years (whatever the colour of their skin)?

If I knew how to post a poll I would, but I don't and I can't be bothered to find out.

Oh yes she had an Iranian in the other day trying to pull a fast one but he wasn't very good

I think people are drawn to the right not by government statistics etc but what they see going on around them.

Spot on.Can't be bothered to explain but your right on the button

That to me shows the problem with the right, all very insular. Perhaps if they looked outside their own bubble they might realise the sensationalist agenda against immigrants doesn't hold as many definites as they blindy assume.

Whatever the colour of their skin, very good point. It should be pointed out that its not just white English who are concerned about immigration into this country. I work with many asians and I can tell you they are not to happy either.

I live in the same area as you and I've seen 1 black kid and 1 asian family. Can't say either have tried to scam me at any point.
