Are law abiding British people against an illegal immigrant amnesty?
Answer:
This crackpot idea was tried in Spain with the result that in the years since more and more illegals have arrived waiting for the next amnesty.
lets call it the dont think tank istead. how can we consider anything seriously which includes the word 'illegal' its like saying anything illegal is ok.
Ive just answered a similar question..this is what I wrote.
Thats why the uk is screwed up...
Im very sorry but the uk is one big joke, and I cant and wont believe otherwise.
The bombings are enough evidence for me.
Im british and proud of it, I have not lived in the uk for 20 years and I am glad I dont, I never have to look over my shoulder and where I live now, I am confident my daughter will grow up in a safe environment. I will never return to the united kingdom.
Excuse me!
A think tank, WTF, if it was the other way around, no amnesty would be shown, so WHY SHOULD WE?
If you break the law, then the law abiding British people do not want you.
agree with Beryl.
an amnesty now would send the wrong message to all & sundry over UK polices.
we'll be deemed more of a push-over than we had been already!
I am, it is ridiculous to just say OK every body is a good guy now , so pop down to the social security and make a claim, they should not be here and that is it, once you start such a thing it will not stop as the do-gooders will always be asking for more, there is a limit to our generosity
Yes. It sends out another message to the world about how spineless and toothless we are as a nation. We welcome you all, regardless of your motives and your ability to stay within the law, indeed, why not come and bomb us?
This seems to be a hot subject today. i have just placed a thread about illegals.
the so called think tank is =
The Institute of Public Policy Research. so not even a governmental body..
further statements i do agree on ie=
A Home Office spokesman said a new Australian-style points system for managed migration would allow skilled migrants into the UK to fill gaps in the economy.
I believe there was an opinion poll not too long ago that supported the "Strangers into Citizens" campaign which would give those here for over four years visas to work, with the possibility of getting Indefinite Leave to Remain if they then worked without problems for a few years.
So, no, on those terms people didn't feel insulted.
I think you find that legal immigrants are most against it. They're the ones who know what kind of hell immigration and visas are (not to mention passports). The ones born in Britian (and possibly also the ones brought over as children) will disapprove for other reasons (purification of blood, terrorists, etc).
Absolutely. These law breakers will of course not be allowed to reside in the Think Tank member's upper-middle class estates/villages will they?
No it is the average folk who must bear the burden of the cosmopolitan chattering bleeding-heart bourgeoisie.
I am against it. They are nothing other than trespassers, vagrants and thieves. No sensible argument can be made that they are of any benefit to the nation aside from ballast on ships.
immigration is a vicious cycle that will never end.
once you let one nationality in you let all nationalities in.
and what is totally b**ls*t is that if we say we don't want any other nationalities coming into Britain and get VERY SECURE borders so that no immigrants can come in who have a criminal record, can't speak english, have no skills etc (which will never probably happen) then we will get blamed for racial discrimination!! Government today is seriously messed up... and i think many british will agree with me.. that british would rather live abroad than in their own country!!
now i'm not that political.. but every british citizens (actual british nationalities) have their own opinion of immigration!
Surely, no decent law-abiding citizen would support this lunacy!
Those of us who work are already overburdened with taxes (stealth and otherwise). Our own offspring cannot afford decent houses, despite the fact that most of the older generation have contributed to the economy throughout our working lives. Employment too, is problematic, as the immigrants are impacting on a) the availability of work and b) the rates of pay.
I support the view that only those with essential skills and a fluent grasp of the English language should be allowed to settle and work here. I would also limit the number of family members to wife, husband and children and ban the hangers-on who contribute nothing to our nation.
Our countryside is fast disappearing beneath new housing initiatives and the 'baby boom' generation are sick and tired of having their rights and liberties eroded (including pension rights) to support idle scroungers. Limit benefits for the able bodied (and I include our own, native drones) to 6 months only and then work or starve!
I oppose the idea of immigrant amnesty 100%. Track them down and kick 'em out!
My opinion on illegal immigrants is very different to my opinion on legal immigrants. Illegal immigrants should be fast track deported. If they fear deportation to their land of origin, then there should be a very clear signal not to come to this country in the first place. The process should be very simple and it consists of one question..are you here legally and can you verify this with the necessary paperwork ? If the answer is no, then they are on the next flight out of Heathrow. No considerations, no appeal over human rights, just a very clear message "If you fear being returned to the regime in your land or origin, do not come to the United Kingdom." Amnesty out of the question for law breakers.
Yes, it is.
These so called think tanks are just filled with idiot left wing liberal bloody hippies who actually think the human rights act is a good idea!
Iäm law abiding, and British, and I hate the idea of an amnesty! They only want to äforgiveä them all because they have no clue how to round them all up and deport them. The useless bunch of wasters.
No doubt, it will be a 'Think Tank' comprised of lefties, the very ones that created the problem in the first place.
It is an insult, and it isn't for 'think tanks' to tell the British people how they should think, or that it is OK to break our laws for political expediency in order to further their unpatriotic agenda. Arrogant bar stewards. New Labour hiding behind 'Think Tanks' and 'Quangos' in order to try and avoid responsibility.
Yes, I'm against it. It is wrong in principle to reward illegal behaviour.An amnesty would solve nothing. How would it prevent further illegal immigration? Perversely, it would be an incentive for further illegal immigration: get in, keep your head down, don’t get caught and eventually you’ll be given legal status if there are enough of you...its wrong...
yes
