> OP argues that immigrants move to UK to have an easier time finding an employer willing to hire them. I am unsure if this is the main motive. It seems to me people divide themselves by language they can speak due to the colonial history. E.g. people from Mali, Ivory Coast, etc. have friends and family connections in France and do not speak English, are uninterested to move to the UK. In the same way, people from Nigeria have connections in UK and can't speak French, so will always move to the UK.

Still doesn't make any sense and the OP is basically arguing that the UK should become more totalitarian to prevent something that's actually positive rather than negative. People coming into the UK who actually work and support themselves cause no harm to anyone else in Britain, and add to the economy.

But the OP has been drenched in propaganda for... well, decades, Enoch Powell and the National Front were arguing that immigrants bad without giving any logical reason back in the 1970s, so instead of blaming people with actual power who have that power and are abusing it for their own benefit for his problems, he's blaming immigrants and demanding the UK take steps towards totalitarianism and risking the liberty of everyone if a truly fascist party is put in charge - and right now, the second most popular party in the UK is very obviously fascist.

And, no coincidence, is promoting the same "It's the "illegal" immigrants, not the people with actual power, who are causing you harm" rhetoric.

Uh-hum.

> This is why so many migrants are attracted to the UK from safe countries like France.

Damn those Frenchies taking all of your jobs!

What about letting people work if they're qualified to do the job? They'll generate wealth and create even more jobs in the process. A win-win situation, if you're not looking for excuses to hate immigrants.

If you are, then you're probably going to buy the logic that somehow people working reduces jobs. Odd how the same people who argue this have no problems with those citizens who are actively hoarding wealth. Is it because they want to believe the worst of immigrants, or is it that the wealth hoarders own a media that's all too happy to point the finger at scapegoats to draw attention from themselves?

Why do you so easily believe, despite no economists backing you up, that the most powerless people on Earth are the ones who are harming you?
