This taps into a Facebook post I made, so don't tell me I'm repeating myself but I think the message is important enough.
Whatever The Daily Mail/Express tells you on a daily basis,demonising particular groups in society, immigrants are NET CONTRIBUTORS to society. Not every single one sure but overall they bring money to invest, they employ people, they pay taxes & consider this: how much drive & energy do you think it takes to leave everything you know, travel to another country and try to make a living? Lots. Immigrants on average produce more wealth-creating entrepreneurs than indigenous folk (some of whom have paid very little into the system yet expect it to subsidize them). Immigrants are often (again not always) better qualified, harder working & prepared to do low-pay, low status jobs that indigenous workers are not.
