each care worker and doctor that we employ as an immigrant to work in the nhs no doubt does some good.

if we are to look at the "greater good", then that same doctor would most likely be desperately needed in their own country. Even more so. Enforcing a brain-drain on e.g. India, Albania etc may help our problems but it certainly hinders the home country from digging themselves out of the pit of despair they may well be in, or find themselves in.

A recent article on BBC website which I cant find due to so many Albania related articles highlighted UK sending aid to a smallish village to help rebuild some parts and make it enticing, due to there being almost no youngsters left in that village. Hence, services are dying, THEY cant find staff for THEIR coffee shops etc. We're tempting away all their talent, their next generation.

This cost of immigration/emigration seldom seems to come up...all well and fine we have a new scientist/plastic surgeon, but that does mean another place DOESNT.

(I'll also add its much much cheaper from UK government point of view to import a working 20yo, be they a doctor, chemist or street sweeper, than what it is to birth one and raise him/her to that age) so I can see what sometimes comes across from the government as a veiled motivation to ensure the status quo.

Back to the original argument, the altar of house price inflation has too many worshippers..how do you fix this? dunno...but adding to the population surely makes many happy due to increased prices of everything.
But that bloke that came to your house party on friday that you didnt know from adam coz of the free punch bowl and tinnies, has no interest in keeping your house in a good shape. And he will go to the next free party when the time comes, leaving you to hoover up.

I agree with you. Theres a massive hidden cost which I kinda tried to allude to. But its not me nor you looking at these numbers, its some bloke on the end of a line that says its cheaper for another country to create a ready made doctor, to fill a doctor spot we need filling, than to grow one ourselves. And probably the initial upfront cost is much better looking from our point. The extra cost over the next nnn years isnt factored, so isnt shown. Its the cost we have of trying to explain to someone why we cant make a dentist appointment and getting nowhere...or vice versa. Or someone phoning to find out where their parcel is, and it being a 15minute conversation about what is a tracking number, instead of a 1minute conversation.
Add this all up, and we're all miserable.

Politicians are mostly simple creatures. If they believe it more expedient to steal skilled workers than to train the indigenous population it's because they've been advised that's the way to do it by their civil servants that have all the costings and statistics.

Tempting skilled workers with (relatively) better pay and/or conditions is one thing (it wouldn't take much convincing for me to believe such people are an economic benefit to our country, to the detriment of their native country of course) but it's the hordes of unskilled labour: 15% of the UK population that are not just dead-weight but foreign born dead-weight.

"You, sir, are an -ist and a -phobe!" and supposedly it's our duty to take in all the world's sad cases and put them up in hotels and make sure they're first in the queue for council houses. We have a moral duty apparently.

But I will ask again: why should I care more about a Somalian "refugee" over my own family? It smells like "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs"

Not every person needs a home of their own. Many share. There are 5 people, 3 dogs and 2 Guinea pigs living in my house.

It must be about the local availability of housing too. Those immigrants don’t distribute themselves evenly across the country.

"EU agrees new rules on hosting migrants, seeks to cut numbers"



One point mentioned in this article

"Migrant arrivals in the European Union are way down from the 2015 peak of more than 1 million, but have steadily crept up from a 2020 low to 255,000 in the year to November, with more than half crossing the Mediterranean from Africa, mainly to Italy."

Brexit was sort of sold on the theory that autonomy will reduce the problems caused by uncontrolled transit of immigrants from the eu to the uk.

We brexited the EU 2016 just when the EU had a bit of a handle on it.

Nothing really changed. Our politicians are inept at dealing with it so what was then point of spending £billions on Brexit?

I curse Brexit every time I'm stood standing in a queue for passport control with ragheids, africans, chinkies, americans and latinos, when previously I wafted through the electronic gates in seconds. For people like me, it's not just once a year on holidays either.
Fukubrexit, ya Cockend.

Ask Val why South Africa (FYI a black country Val)
is turning back migrants from other black countries

Moar rassis biggits? or are they trying to control the chaos and
damage of uncontrolled immigration?

Lefties like Val will play the tired old race card but SA once welcomed immigrants until the numbers got out of control and resources strained
and these kind tensions in any community will inevitably lead to insecurity anger and violence.

How many migrants are you homing Val?

It's not just the effect on housing though.

Extra population means extra demand on infrastructure (roads, railways, schools, doctors, dentists, hospitals). I could go on.

Seems that the government is somewhat reluctant to fund this requirement.
