If they do want to come and are qualified and speak English then great. Without the costs of illegal immigrants and foreigners claiming dole, plus the non funding of EU, as a country we will be far better off financially and will have more funding available for the NHS. Once there are more jobs for the British, we will hopefully get back into the mood of getting jobs straight after education instead of 3rd generation dole claiming families that had giving up on finding work. We need to be patient, Brexit was never going to work overnight.
The costs of illegal immigrants claiming dole??? Wtf? How on earth does an illegal immigrant claim dole?? by its very definition such a person wouldn't have the necessary I.d. To claim the dole. Illegals don't bring attention to themselves , they live under the radar. And what exactly is the cost of 'foreigners' claiming dole? I'll guess half a billion absolute max, (100,000 at £5000 p.a.) a drop in the ocean. In fact much less than all these foreign workers pay n tax and n.i. Etc. More jobs for the British ? What Brits? We are almost at the stage of full employment, the unemployment rate is so low that it's almost at the point where it's almost only the unemployable who aren't working. And anyway Brits won't do the cleaning , the construction, the nursing, the waiting, the agricultural work ,sectors where there are hundreds of vacancies. Unfortunately for the anti immigrant brexiteers the nett migration figures won't be falling whilst the economy is still strong relative to the rest of Europe. It will only fall when the economy starts going down the pan and they can't find work and go home. Course in an economic downturn there is still isn't work for all these Brits who are so desperate for work and are being held back and denied employment by those pesky europeans

But you will be when the Brexit ( The thing the majority of the voters voted for) gets done properly. And if you read my post (including the comma) you'll see I haven't said illegals are claiming dole. I for one am looking forward to will of the people actually being carried out and in five years (yes it will take at least that) the remoaners will be just like those gobby Hartlepool fans on Saturday after the game. Back into the woodwork.

The cost of illegal immigrants is what then? They don't claim benefits, they don't actually cost anything until they are caught and detained,which is highly unlikely given the cuts to the immigration service. And where are all these Brits going to appear from? May I suggest you look at the unemployment figures, it's 1.6 million, 4.8% of a working population of c 35 million. I think I'm right in saying that it's generally taken that 1% at least is unemployable , in jail, severely disabled, addicts etc so you've probably got at most a million who are really out of work. The problem is they tend to be concentrated in the areas where there isn't the work available.if they won't move then you've got a problem, notwithstanding that if those dreadful Europeans leave you're left with a labour shortfall of several million. Whose going to do the cleaning, the waiting, the sandwich making, the labouring, the pea picking, the nursing, the driving, the caring etc etc when they all return to mainland Europe? I think that you are in for a nasty shock. If the economy remains robust I'd be happy to bet a few quid that the nett mgration figures remain largely unchanged over the next ten years. Like it or not we have an ageing population and a low birth rate. We need immigrants to continue to come here ,to do the jobs we can't or won't do and who pay for themselves through their taxes. I might add that in addition to the lower skilled we also need the highly skilled, the doctors, the financiers, the engineers.do you know that Europe as a whole does not produce enough engineers to even fill this country's needs so we need to get them from outside Europe?....... I thought not.

So we will once again produce our own skilled people. Something we are now failing to do as we rely on the cheaper imported option. How do the illegals live if they are under the radar. By taking illegal employment, not paying taxes, and taking a job (that could have been filled by a Brit) off the market.

Well I was around then and you are spot on.
All those looking through rose tinted glasses need to remember most families had far far less than even the 'poor' of today. Our house had ice on the inside of the windows at this time of year, no central heating, outside bog and in the early 70's the country was crippled by strike after strike.
No electricity on a regular basis, rubbish piled high in the streets. Most earned next to nothing as the country struggled to survive even 25 years after the end of the war.
Today a crisis is if the benefits don't stretch to sky tv or the latest trainers for young Kyle
I remember peeling the net curtains off my bedroom window in the mornings. It was great in the good old days.

Illegals aren't taking tax paying jobs then are they? That's another area for our stretched public services to crack down on!
