IT’S a bit late to state this, but I think that when a country like
Britain is subjected to substantial immigration, then the wishes of the resident
population should be moderately but carefully preserved over the wishes of the
immigrants.
When immigrants are granted favourable treatment or benefits not
available to residents, then the understandable (though nonsensical) tendency of
immigrants to set out to recreate the conditions from which they have sought to
escape will be re-enforced.
Therefore, bearing in mind that immigrants only come to Britain for what
this country can offer, the terms and conditions of British life should be
carefully preserved, and even favoured, because there will be no thanks from the
immigrants if we allow them to recreate that from which they have fled. Besides
which, without this mild protection, one can see a time coming when the English
will come to feel to be strangers in their own land. Yorkshire Post.
