Thread Name: BS: Multiculturalism
Subject: RE: BS: Multiculturalism
I agree that economics isn't the only thing that matters and I don't think that anyone here is being critical of immigrants or immigration. It is just the sheer scale of immigration that concerns some of us. If you have too many of them, then you simply wont have enough housing or jobs to go round. In other words, housing is difficult to get and rents go soaring up and wages come tumbling down. Everybody loses out. These are real problems that affect mostly the working classes, but not the middle or upper classes.

Just to make things clear, the indiginous English mostly affected do not necessarily have to be ethnically English, but can be from other ethnic backgrounds: Asian, Afro-Carribean, Irish, even Polish.
