The British Upper House formerly known as the House of Lords has issued a statement that the current immigration situation in Britain is unsustainable and illegal immigration and legal immigration of people with low skills needs to go down.


I heard this on a BBC radio broadcast while I was having my coffee at a local convenience store. The store belongs to a North African immigrant and hires mostly quasi legals people who have a U.S. residence permit but not a work permit. There was a new hire there, a Nepali foreign student who after he hearing me argue with the shop owner regarding illegal immigration and my saying that I agree with the British suprised me by saying he too sympatized with the British on tightening control (though he does not have a work permit). His position is apparently by the time that he graduates he will qualify as higher skilled.

===========================

The major immigration control organizations use an estimate of thirteen million illegal aliens. I use instead use the twenty million figure I think it includes both the illegals, quasi legals and also their dependents.
