/// EDUCATING the children of immigrants who entered Britain under Labour will cost taxpayers £100billion over the next 10 years,///

Will Cameron's new coalition Government now finally put a cap on immigration at the scale allowed by the late New Labour?

Or will Cameron's support for Turkey joining the EU, finally overload Britain with even more immigrants that this country's already overloaded infrastructure can cope with?

EDUCATING the children of immigrants who entered Britain under Labour will cost taxpayers £100billion over the next 10 years-

oh thats very annoying! i could ramble on about that one statement
We have an aging population. In years to come these children will have grown into taxpayers. When I'm sitting gaga, and doubly incontinent, in some nursing home, that tax they paid will pay people to look after me.
If ther are enough jobs for the rapidly growing population...
Some will found companies - if you're lucky one might give you a job!

No it won't Sandy, it will be the money from the sale of your house that will pay the bill.

That is of course if you have worked hard all your life and purchased your own home.

Or if of course you live in Scotland.

Who will pay their maternity fees, educate them, house them, pay their benefits or look after their medical needs in the meantime?
AOG

"Who will pay their maternity fees, educate them, house them, pay their benefits or look after their medical needs in the meantime?"

'They' will - through their taxes and national insurance contribution.

The essential flaw in your question can be summarised thus:

"It's going to cost billions to educate children over the next ten years...what a waste of money".

You see how that statement doesn't make sense.

Sure, if the children of immigrants all left school and didn't work, or took their skills abroad, then the question would have legs.

But that simply isn't true.
AOG, you ar fighting the usual lefty retoric. There is no sound reasoning behind that at all.

Even more than the money is the fact the UK infrastructure in general is not fit for purpose, assuming your purpose is wholesale immigration.

We need to address the welfare and what immigrants recieve. Immigrants bringing in money and skills are very valuable. Unfortunatley this has not been the case and many have been exploited and it is unsure how many pay the correct taxtation.

Note that this is an EU wide issue with regard to EU immigrants. It is predominatly a UK issue with regard to non UK immigrants.

Of course if someone can sing and claims to be in danger of being shot despite the fact her familyy live quite happily in Rhodeshia .......

Pay attention please, I said in the meantime, by that I mean from their birth to the time they gain employment, which if they go on to Uni. can be a very long time.

AOG was addressing the children of immigrants.

Are you saying that all children of immigrants will finish their education, and go straight on the dole?
AOG

But that's the cost of education - and the benefits of education will be the taxes that are paid once those children leave education.

Furthermore - it's not like their parents will be exempt from paying tax and national insurance whilst their kids are being educated.

Your argument doesn't really make sense economically.
A report released by Migrationwatch may not be entirely independent and unbiased. There are just so many flaws it is not worth trying to list them all
