Immigration Doesn't Have to be a Problem

Immigration is one of the best things ever to happen to this country. It has widened our horizons, introduced us to many new things and experiences, and enabled us to make friends with people of different backgrounds.

But our stupid politicians are messing the whole bloody thing up. Of course, that shouldn’t be surprising when you consider these people have never spent a single moment living in the real world.

Immigration could make this the greatest country in the world again. We could be world leaders again, instead of the irrelevant joke we are becoming on the world stage.

The first thing we need to do is close the borders immediately, and not let anyone else in. The current infrastructure can’t cope with the population numbers, so to keep letting more in makes no sense.

But we have the people already in this country that can bring the infrastructure up to date and make it safe to let people in again. Instead of demonising and vilifying foreigners we should be taking advantage of the knowledge and skills they possess, and put them to good use. Instead of marginalising them we should put them to work making this country great again.

How many asylum seekers and illegal immigrants have skills that might be useful in making this country better? Instead of spending a fortune keeping them in prisons or going through appeal after appeal, we should find out if they have any demonstrable skills, and if they do, then they should be given leave to remain immediately with no more messing around.

How many immigrants could be useful in research and development? How many could be engineering the rebuilding of this country? How many could be putting us at the forefront of technical and scientific progress?

We should be welcoming these people with open arms instead of complaining about them. They can make this country great again.

And when they do; when we’ve all worked together and made the infrastructure able to cope; when we are a player on the world stage again, then we should re-open the borders. As long as we can cope, we should let people in, and put them to work moving this country forward.

As for those who complain about foreigners coming over here and nicking their jobs; I say if you’re good enough to be the one to do that job, then you don’t need to worry.

I would temper what I’ve just said, however. Anyone who comes here just to claim benefits; anyone who comes here to take without giving back; anyone who comes here to commit crime; anyone who is already here and commits crime; these people should be ejected immediately. There should be no appeals; no putting them in holding cells while paperwork goes through; they should be thrown out, and if they can’t get into their own country then that’s their problem, not ours.

Imagine inviting a friend into your house. You make them welcome; give them food and drink. If they then get up and take a dump on your carpet you throw them out. You don’t let them stay in the cupboard because they say they can’t get into their house, or they don’t even have one. No; you throw them out immediately, and if they have nowhere to go, it’s tough shit. They should have appreciated your welcome and your generosity.

Our politicians should stop being scared of being called racist. They should show some testicular fortitude and actually use immigration to benefit this country rather than let it tear the place apart.

That’s the only way they can prevent the rise of nationalism and the race war that is looming large on the horizon right now. If they don’t, then I hope they enjoy the riots that will surely come.
