Immigation drains Britain, says Left think tank

Will wonders never cease?

Hundreds of thousands of immigrants are a drain on Britain and its economy, not a benefit, says a Left-leaning think tank.

Wonder what their first clue was?

Migrants from many developing nations fail to pay their way, while those from wealthy countries, such as the United States and Australia, provide a boost for the economy.

Duh!

It found that fewer than half of Britain’s 650,000 Somalis, Bangladeshis, Turks and Pakistanis, have jobs and the four communities have the highest levels of benefit dependency.

So much for political correctness!

Channel 4 commissioned the report for a Dispatches documentary, Immigrants: the Inconvenient Truth, to be shown tomorrow night.

What WOULD we do without AlGor’s cinematically spawned mantra of “inconvenient truth”. It fits SO many places!

New government statistics predict a two million rise in population over the next decade due to immigration, more than previous projections. Liam Byrne, the immigration minister, said last week that the forecast “underlines the need for swift and sweeping changes to the immigration system”.

This from the EngSoc (Labor) government too! Who woulda thunk it?
