National insecurity
Posted by Greg McDonald
Thousands of illegal immigrants are working for private security companies in the UK, the Home Office has admitted.
This news may come as a shock to those who thought Britain was being flooded by lazy, workshy foreigners.
But maybe it’s time we all woke up to the real issue: the urgent need for an amnesty for immigrants who are making a decent contribution to the society and infrastructure they’ve appropriated.
Unconvinced? Do the maths. Legal immigrants pay into our pension funds. Illegal immigrants cost us £3bn a year. Legal immigrants help power our economy. Illegal immigrants help fuel our black market. Put simply, legal immigrants are good for Britain.
An estimated 500,000 illegals live in Britain and it’s fantasy to pretend they’re going to be rounded up and kicked out. Labour’s “British workers for British jobs” tub-thumping and the Conservatives’ fairytale deportation policies simply reveal that Britain’s two biggest parties have some growing up to do.
For a more realistic approach, we have to look to LibDem leadership hopeful Nick Clegg, who advocates a qualified amnesty for long-term immigrants with clean criminal records, who are able to pass an English test and pay a charge. Practical, humane, and cost-effective.
As long as we keep people who guard our ports and airports outside the law, there remains a threat to public safety. But it’s of our own making. Let’s do the sensible thing.

We as a nation put labour into government and they have badly let us down over immigration. We should be doing what Italy are doing with their immigrants who do not live by their laws. We are being used and abused by the EU law that allows free passage for EU people. Spain has the same problem we had everything stolen in Spain and were left with just we were stood up in and the Spanish people said please don't think it is the Spanish we have many problems with immigration. I know of one immigrant who has 3 jobs just so she can put her daughter through university in her homeland and yet I have been told of one who is bringing her daughter over here to have her baby and then she is going back home. So there is good and bad in everyone whatever their nationality. Immigration will be the downfall of this goverment but will anybody else do better?

Any one who breaks the law to enter the country will carry on breaking the law when he/she arrives. This nation has been invaded by an army of criminals, yet none of the "established" political parties are prepared to do anything about it. When the time comes it wont only be the immigrants who are thrown out, it will also be the politicans
and political system that drew them here. End the welfare state and "nanny brtain" and our ethnic friends will be leaving in droves, together with our workshy compatriots. No loss to Britain.

History clearly repeats itself! Why do people come over here? Is it not for a better quality of life? Are we all not entitled to try and achieve this.Look, if people contribute and work within the boundaries of British society and law then what’s the problem? How about we send those people on the dole all their lives who keep sponging off the rest of us and who keep reproducing, not teaching any morals and respect to their lazy children, back to where they have originally came from, now is that likely to happen I think not!.. If you look back at most people’s past our forefathers, forefathers usually originated from another country anyway so cant everyone just stop moaning and get on. Think about your future pensions if the economy is not sustained then when you get older you may be very very poor this may not happen but it’s possible!!

Don't be fooled by the weasel words in this blog. A basic tenet of Marxist philosophy is that to control a population you must first divide it, and the Labour government is simply being true to its roots with its cynical policy of doing just that, through devolution, regionalisation,
unrestricted immigration and discrimination against the majority in favour of minority groups. Throwing out a few foreigners won't cure the disease. Throwing out the Labour party will. Use your vote.

So the SIA cocked up again these illegals should be deported forcibly they are taking the jobs of british citizens by under cutting the wages and by being illegals they have broken the law and therefore are
not elligible for a SIA LICENCE which we must have to work.

If we have 1.5million unemployed in this country, why do we need immigrants to fill the jobs. Stop all benefits to the ones on the dole if they dont get a job within 6 months. That way we would not need all these immigrants.

How on earth can so many illegals get into our country, we and our forefathers have been let down by this government, after watching the rememberance service I wonder how many of these brave men would have fought and died had they known what was in store for the future
