Do you think its fair enough to blame the immigrants?

I been reading news lately and often i read articles about blaming the immigrants from invading the uk and taking all the jobs and more angry briton agrees on it,i feel like since the credit crunch happen with the economy crisis,they seem to put the blame on the PM and the immigrants and also i think immigrants also pays whatever bills that is to be paid and work and did all the paperwork to gain legal right to live in uk, unless those who are staying illegally here,and how bout the briton that goes outside uk to live abroad don't you think they are bit of unfair?im sure before credit crunch they never blame the immigrants about getting all the jobs but now beco'z of the credit crunch and unemploymen they blame it usthey should blame the banks its the banks the causes this all for having a toxic debts and bankruptcy, not the immigrant dont you think???

It is always easy to blame someone for anything. Immigrants are blamed for taking "jobs" many locals are not interested, provide goods and services at reasonable costs, nevertheless they are the scapegoats when the economy slows down. Who said the world is fair?

Your right Fred,but thats in an ideal world,pinas isnt "ideal" in reciprocating citizens rights with other countries.As for UK complaining about immigrants or refugees,every single other country does EXACTLY the sameI have even been in 3'rd world countries where they complained about the immigrants/refugees and treated theirs a lot more harshly than we do ours here.

Well not really if you are comparing the situation with lets say..The Philippines!!
I certainly can`t take a job that a Filipino is able to do,Im also not allowed to own the house I built or the land it sits on bought..(wait for it)
with my own money..
The same rules should apply to Filipino`s in the UK eh???
Quid pro quo eh???

I do not advocate for such an arsh treatment, but I can confidently say that Italy has had enough of illegals entering the country.

The catch 22 situation of "no job, no accomodation - no accomodation, no job" is valid for italians as well.
I know that for a fact, because it did happen to me over 40 years ago.

When I used to be based in Hong Kong the colony had a big problem with Viet asylum seekers,the solution was to round the lot up and stick them all,every man-jack of them on an island When I worked in Pakistan during the Afghan/russian game I used to visit the Immigrant camp on the pakistan side of the Khyber,they lived in total squalour but no one cared,Zimbabwe refugees are flooding into places like South Africa,doesnt anyone remember the large number of attacks on them?South Africans clubbing them,hunting them in gangs?No?Immigrants are treated a lot better in this country than most,go over to Calais,check out the guys hanging around in large numbers,guess why?
