Bigbad...if they come here awfully, than I am as happy about that as I am about all the 10,000's of Brits that are working abroad, like my bricklayer brother did 20 years, in Germany. I am a supporter of the EU and I am grateful that all our fruit and veg and flowers are being picked, rather than being left in the ground to rot.
I, and my family, are also more than grateful about all the foreign NHS staff, principally Doctors, Surgeons and Nurses who hail from abroad.
I would be even happier if these jobs, amongst others, were done by our own compatriots but recognise that the work needs to be done and until we have a Government that really gets to grips with our low skills and dole-bludger culture, then we seem to have no option but to be grateful for our "Gastarbeiter"
But I am not in support of illegal immigrants, although I think Britain should play its part, along with the rest of the free world, to provide humanitarian relief, especially to these 10,000's of unaccompanied children. That particular problem is now very acute.
I have made these points many times before here on AB !
