To me, these are the words (Franks's) that show his true nature. He says that the current government have sanctioned:

this record amount of capitalist/economic immigration (perhaps hoping for the ethnic vote) that many citizens, and wildlife, are now going to pay for.

Thanks to IB for reminding me of this. The phrase "...hoping for the ethnic vote" reveals so much, doesn't it? It just shows that it's not immigration per se that Franks is against - it's the ethnic, i.e. racial difference. I don't think the current government has many morals, but even I can't see them encouraging immigration just to get more votes. What a vile, sneering and stupid statement. As far as the idea "...that many citizens...are going to pay for" - Franks won't be paying. He's being paid for.

And wildlife? Where does that come from?
