Okay let us clear up some basic faults with your comments; citizens from the old commonwealth, specifically Australians, New Zealands and Canadians cannot claim assistance including social security, housing, or benefits. It is part of the entry requirements for any permit we can obtain that we can support ourselves financially without assistance from the State (e.g. government).
Quoting: Liza
As previously stated before, Somalians, Bangladeshis, Pakistanis, Iranians and Turkish immigrants are the most likely to be reliant on a benefit. Why on earth are you bringing religion into this?
yes most likely right after the Eurpoeans poles in perticular
There are approximately 208,900 Bangladeshis in the UK; and almost four times that number of Poles. Only 7,687 Poles are claiming Income Support but 22,979 Bangladeshis are. The same picture is visible through the statistics on ethnic population versus assistance received in the UK. It makes a mockery of your claims that Asian immigrants are supporting the rest of the UK as well as the EU.
The figures I refer to are taken from 'Britains Immigrants: An Economic Profile' published by the IPPR in September 2007, and are the most up to date figures available on ethnic groups in the UK in relation to unemployment and economic contribution. The report can be found (insert URL), but here is a breakdown for you in case you are too lazy or ignorant to work it out;
As of Quarter 4, 2006 the population by country of the biggest beneficiaries of tax payer assistance are;
Somalia82,300 - 81% not working (Approx. 66,663 unemployed) - 39% claiming Income Support (approx. 32,097) - 80% in social housing (approx. 65,840)
Turkey69,400 - 59% not working (Approx. 40,946 unemployed) - 21% claiming Income Support (approx. 14,574) - 49% in social housing (approx. 34,006)
Bangladesh208,900 - 56% not working (Approx. 116,984 unemployed) - 11% claiming Income Support (approx. 22,979) - 41% in social housing (approx. 85,649)
Pakistan306,400 - 55% not working (Approx. 168,520 unemployed) - 11% claiming Income Support (approx. 33,704) - 15% in social housing (approx. 45,960)
Iran60,900 - 48% not working (Approx. 29,232 unemployed) - 10% claiming Income Support (approx. 6,090) - 33% in social housing (approx. 20,097)
For comparison, the figures for UK Born are;
UK Born - 52,980,100 - 22% not working (Approx. 11,655,622 unemployed) - 4% claiming Income Support (approx. 2,119,204) - 17% in social housing (approx. 9,006,617)
And finally the figures for Poles are;
Poland - 768,700 - 15% not working (Approx. 115,305 unemployed) - 1% claiming Income Support (approx. 7,687) - 8% in social housing (approx. 61,496)
The top five drains on the UK by ethnic group are; Somalia, Turkey, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Iran. The combined population of these five groups in the UK is 727,900. The total unemployed for these five ethnic groups combined are 422,345 or over 58%. Income Support Claimants total 109,444 or 15%, while those living in Social Housing total 251,552 or 35%.
Perhaps if these groups (
i.e. Somalians, Turkish, Bangladeshis, Pakistanis, and Iranians) stood on their own two feet rather than relying on the tax payer - which includes the Poles - they might find life in the UK a lot less cushy and there would be enough money to help those who truly deserve it (the elderly being a good start). I believe there should be restrictions placed on immigrants claiming support from State sources for five years from date of entry. This would promote a 'sink or swim' mentality, and would discourage large groups from immigrating to the UK purely to sit on their backsides as it appears a significant portion of immigrants from Somalia, Turkey, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Iran do.
LennyD you continue to spout the same rot without listening to the answers.
If a business cannot obtain labour at a reasonable cost, they don't increase their labour budget - they simply move the jobs off shore. No company can be made to hire employees if they are not economically viable.
You would be better off retraining for a higher skilled job that cannot be outsourced (the knowledge economy).
Migration Watch has been linked with the BNP. Given the BNPs attitudes towards immigrants, I would struggle to believe there are no ulterior motives hiding beneath Migration Watch's statements.
