Immigrants are probably employed at minimum wage or illegally. Illegals take jobs that Brits would do if they were offered the opportunity and pay tax on the earnings. Also there is affirmative action for the legal migrants because companies need certain quotas of non-indigenous, women and the like so indigenous white men bear the brunt of the very unfair affirmative action. Why should they try when everything and everyone is against them? The problems we see increasing in the white male population is as a result of the policies of leftists that do not seek equality but favouritism of non-indigenous, non-white and female populations. Ban immigration and affirmative action and you may just start seeing an improvement in the British population. Do you know, I missed out on a job and a paid-for Masters degree because I had the misfortune to be born white in Britain? I could have been a lot more successful in my career than I currently am had I been a BME.

You are wrong. Two girls from Tanzania come to the UK 5 years ago because they are partially-sighted and need their mother to look after them and because the treatment they require is not available in Tanzania. They get Exceptional Leave to Remain after 6 months, get a council flat each (jumping the queue over those who have been on the waiting list for 2 years) and claim full benefits because their medical condition means they cannot work. They are treated for their degenerative condition on the NHS and are still here in the UK after 5 years and still on benefits. WTF? I know lots of non-EU immigrants who are given priority housing and benefits after only living here for a few months. Either that, or cousin Mo gets them a job in his restaurant (illegally), a job that could go to a Brit otherwise. As regards asylum seekers. Yes, they get 70% of JSA but if they are successful in their claims (have regard here to the backlog of cases) they get backpay of the other 30% over however long they have been here.

It doesn’t matter if racial aliens come here with 2 PhD’s and pockets full of gold.
The British peoples are being replaced. On present trends we will be a minority in our own land in 2 generations.
If we completely halted immigration tomorrow, (as we could and should), we would still be a minority in our own land by the end of the century.
We are being killed off.
If we are to survive as a people, we must have a programme for national survival – full compulsory repatriation.

Well, regardless of the fact that the comments seem to have been inundated with brown shirts (certainly with a lot of people with something brown for brains) this is excellent.
Bit worrying the amount of fascism in the comments eh. Guys if you like the 1930s so much why don’t you go live there?
