No point in blaming one party or the other, lax immigration controls has been a problem for 20 years or more under all the political parties.
I remember seeing the news 15 years ago about illegal immigrants trying to run through the channel tunnel, and that was when the Tories were in power.
Our complete lack of border control has caused massive problems for this country which we will regret in the years to come.
We have cities that are now 50% immigrants, we have immigrant gangs pushing drugs (Jamaician, Somali, Chinese and others) we have criminals from Eastern Europe cloning credit cards, smuggling in sex workers, brewing illicit alcohol.
We have thousands of immigrants fiddling our benefit system, costing all of us millions of pounds a year.
We have areas of the country where 30% of drivers have not got any car insurance, and this is almost always areas of high Asian immigrants.
Just a few days ago one of my relatives bought a "power drink" from an Asian corner shop and he took one sip and it began to burn his throat. He was so alarmed he took it to trading standards who are currently testing it.
Sadly whenever you see one of these programs about "fake Britain" where shops are selling dodgy booze and other dodgy products it is always Asian shops. The owners of these shops will by anything if it is offered to them cheap, without a care in the world about the customers who may buy it and poison themselves.
We have given ourselves so many problems with lax immigration it is hard to know where to begin.
