White immigration into UK makes many see red

LONDON: A new shade of colour has been added to the immigration debate with much concern being expressed over the migration into Britain of thousands of people from east European countries who have recently joined the European Union.

The concerns and fears currently expressed are similar to the ones that were cited when many people from Asia and Africa and the Caribbean islands migrated to Britain in the 1960s and 1970s. The colour of concern is increasingly shifting from the earlier ‘black or brown’ immigration to ‘white’ immigration from the east European countries.

Citizens of what are called Accession 8 (A8) countries that joined the European Union (EU) on May 1, 2004, are eligible to work in Britain. The eight countries are the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia.

Ireland, Sweden and Britain are the only countries that have not imposed restrictions on citizens of the A8 countries on taking up employment in these countries. Five more countries are expected to join the EU in 2007: Romania, Croatia, Bulgaria, Turkey and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.

Sine the accession of the eight countries in 2004, thousands of people from these countries have moved to Britain. This has already affected the employment potential of people of non-EU origin such as doctors from the Indian sub-continent.

The most famous example of change since the migration of people from the A8 countries is what is called the phenomenon of ‘Polish plumbers’ — plumbers from Poland virtually taking over the plumbing industry.

Official records show that 2,30,000 Poles have registered to live and work in Britain, but the unofficial estimate is that as many as 7,00,000 to 8,00,000 Poles have travelled west, the majority to Britain.

Ministers have expressed concern that the surge in immigration from these countries would put enormous pressure on Britain’s education, health and welfare service.

Yes this is a huge image problem. As long as its brown uneducated, and third world, and macho, the left loves illegal immigration. As soon as its white (blue collar, christian religion, law abiding) they start to scream. If they already have JOB SKILLS how will that effect education, you racist idiots?
Why not just let people work without patriating them? Let them go home so thier countries have to figure out Social security...


SOB's...

Turkey

Actually I read that Turkey has been observing the events occuring in Europe and has withdrawn or is considering withdrawing their application for membership in the EU.

Personally, I think Polish men are the most attractive men on the planet. I wish and PRAY that we had an invasion of sexy polish men! I am really living in the wrong place.
