If we don't have managed and sensible immigration we will not be able to provide health care, social care and the hospitality industry , that is very important , will collapse

Some people say that immigration is just used for cheap labour in these areas but if the UK workforce is not interested , not trained or simply not capable of filling these jobs then we have no choice

Lots of people who vote Tory to reduce immigration are pissing on their own chips if they have elderly relatives as the amount of people from abroad working in care homes and in the community is huge .....if we have few uk residents wanting to work in care and we reduce immigration to fill those positions ..........we have had it

Illegal immigration is a different matter and the fact that the UK is an island and has trouble dealing with it suggests more needs to be spend on border control , flight security , resettlement etc

It's the easy thing to do to say we need to stop the boats and send them to rwanda etc but that appeals to the basic instinct of people who need to be educated and what is possible , what's not possible and the stupidity of thinking immigration is the cause of all our problems

Eventually one tends to give up trying
