I agree, I'm from the US, but I can see the problems starting across the pond.  We were a nation based on LEGAL immigration.  UK has always been a semi-homogeneous society.  It doesn't have to be lilly-white, but I can see that the openness of Euro countries is taking a toll on national identity

Omer - normally I would probably disagree with you when you ask a question relating to England as I know you simply do not like us, and I guess that is your free choice (blinkered that it is, and a shame  as the vast majoirty of us are very decent people).  However, on this ocassion, I agree with you that the English hooligans are not better than animals - but please remember that it is not just English people that are involved in this, and that England have been trying very hard to clean up our act in this area.  What to do with them - well with today's techonlogy it would not be too hard to impose a life travel ban on the idiots that cause trouble. As for Germany they should impose prison sentances on them, but doubt they want to waste their taxpayers money on these idiots.

Short answer... yes.\n\nLong answer... The government really needs to look at having the "right type" of immigrants permitted entry. Back home in Australia, the government has a restriction on immigration. You have to prove that you have the funds and/or job to support yourself and won't be sponging off the government and taxpayers. Over here, it just seems that they'll let anybody in and then give them a house and benefits too. And just from what I've seen, a British person has to first prove they don't need any help before they get some. I'm not surprised British people are leaving the country in large numbers.... they seem to be becoming a minority in their own country.

yes yes yes!!! we are a british and we are allowing our heritage to be stripped away,pandering to a minority of whingers who have nothing to whinge about, if its so bad why are they here.i believe immigation should follow the lead of aus or usa...skilled people or people with money in the bank who can support themselves. they should have to pay for private health care and pensions as we do if we emigrate, maybe then the nhs wouldnt be so overloaded and we woudnt have to work to our graves supporting people who have no intention of being productive british citizens.going away from the point slightly i know but i also think there should be a return to the old system where if you havnt paid into the economy you cant take out..would put an end to all the phoneys and lazy layabouts on benefit. And before anyone accuses me of being racist i am 3rd generation mixed race. i have no problem with colour or immigration..just a problem me funding wasters and listening to do gooders talking out of their backsides. this country has no backbone and is going to the dogs. the laughing stock comment is highly accurate.

No, the would just find another way. The way to stop them is to take away their jobs here. Arrest those that hire them, they are scum bags any way, and put them in jail make them pay huge fines and that will stop the flow. NO JOBS = NO illegal immigration.

do you have an annual subscription to the BNP, i will let you come visit and i will introduce you personally to people who don't want to work and i will also introduce you to people who don't wanna work because they are better off living on the social security than they are working, they get money, money for their kids, rent, NHS supplies free medi care.\n\nDo not delude yourself that if every immigrant left the country then thousands of people would automatically come out of poverty,poverty has been around for hundreds of years long before we had even heard of "illegal Immigrant"\n\nand also we brought a lot of immigrants over to this country to do all the shit jobs we didn't want to do ourselves.research your history books before next time you wanna rant on your soapbox

I think immigration's out-of-control. I think that a lot of our politicians have some bright ideas about 'one world' etc., and some of those don't quite work out the way they planned, and then there's those gosh-darn unintended consequences etc.\nIf people keep it civil, immigration's no problem, but we're well beyond 'civil' in some cases, and policies need to be improved and amended to slow this stuff down quite a bit....bum's rush doesn't cut it...

We can, we don't. I was reading on teletext this morning that out of the illegals who were freed from prison and not deported we have paedophiles. One attacked and abused a little girl of six after being released. Tony Blair will NEVER put us first and thats why he has got to go as soon as possible. We need to stop all immigration completely until the unsavoury thousands are rounded up and shifted out.

Amen...you got that right.\n\nOur borders have been open too freely for too long.

England is already half-way to throwing our people's laws in the toilet and pulling out the Quran as the new way to live. Thank you so much British Liberals. But they are still in a big minority. I read that by 2100 the Causcasian British will be a minority in their own country if the current tred keeps on.\n\nImmigration doesn't help either. If you let them all in, of course they're gonna take over. Already they are enforcing their customs on us, making us accept them over ours, when they are the "guests" in our countries. They should obey our rules!

Suzanne,\n\nBe careful with your logic here.\n\nThere are Eastern Europeans living in the UK.\n\nOf all the people living in the UK, some are theives and some are scroungers. Some Eastern Europeans here are theives and scoungers.\n\nThat doesn't make [b] ALL [/b] Eastern Europeans living here thieves and scroungers.\n\nYou may have seen on the news that there is a lot of fuss about the Home Office not being able to find ex-covicts who should have been deported or illegal aliens.\n\nYou will have also seen the fuss about wanting to introduce identity cards and a national database of DNA, fingerprints and photographs.\n\nMost of us Britains seem to want the deportation of illegal aliens and foriegn criminals - but are against the idea of ID cards and a national database.\n\nThe simple fact is that unless the government authorities have a way of determining who should be here and who shouldn't - then they can't deport them. \n\nUntil there is a national database and an ID card system it is a long and arduous process to weed out those who are not here. However, the implications to our privacy and the opportunities to abuse the information are huge.\n\nI'd rather have some illegals wandering the country than risk a government abusing information held about me.\n\nCertainly, I am happy to accept people who come to this country, work hard and contribute to British society.\n\nI'm just going to have to accept that those who are unwilling to contribute are going to take a while to identify and send home.

We're not trying to end immigration...just illegal immigration. And once all of the current illegal immigrants are made legal...let's not kid our selves...that's where we're heading...they're going to want to stop other people from coming here illegally, because they'll see that their newly found validity affords them rights and a more decent pay, but that they are going to be competing with those coming behind them that will be willing to work for less. It's a never ending cycle, folks...where WILL we draw the line?

The government has gone to far on everything. It is time to end their reign of terror and start over.

Its about time,we had a outright ban on immigrants without genuine qualifications coming to Europe, we are overloaded now and they bring with them all the hates and predudists that they have in the country they have left.

It makes me seriously consider renouncing my citizenship, moving to a foreign country, then comming back across the border as an undocumented immigrant (illegal alien).  They have more rights than we do now.
