Whn have I? Evidence suggest that overall EU citizens are net tax payers.
Not all evidence shows that. If we sorted out all the wrong claimants of benefits. Remember every person that comes here we have to house and supply benefits for. You find generally the hard working EU population who come here don't claim benefits and housing as they can afford their own house and life it's the low skilled immigration from Eastern Europe mainly who claim every benefit and that's a lot of money. Not to mention they get housed somewhere, they get gp and nhs appointments, their kids will get primary school places and the roads and cities can't take the extra traffic. All the while you never know exactly how many will come to your country or not because we have an open border with the point being you never actually know how many teachers you need as you don't know how many are coming with kids. The point also being they have never paid a uk tax in their lives.
We all need and want EU and non EU immigration without it this country is fucked but we need to know who they are? Do they have insurance? Do they have money? And crucially how many? They will can plan how many teachers to hire and how many houses to build. We currently need to build a house every four minutes to cope with current levels of immigration. There is new housing everywhere by me at the moment.
Every other country outside the EU has their own immigration policy and it works. The USA and Australia being two fine examples. They are very strict and very particular and as a result immigration is not really a problem for them.
I don't blame any Eastern European for coming here to better their life but when really poor countries like Bulgaria are allowed to go to rich countries like the U.K. Under free movement of people It's no wonder we can't cope with excessive demands for every thing. And finally this leads to lack of social cohesion and communities up and down the Labour lands mainly that have been totally destroyed by immigration where by they don't talk English and don't want to intergrate in the U.K style and values Hence why labour lands mainly voted out and actually won the brexit vote. Open-door immigration might be good for big business and keep wages low for employers with people whose wage is nearer £1 an hour in Poland and Romania but for the every day man or woman in the U.K. It's not. Before 2004 open door immigration the fruit was still picked and the cabbages were still washed.
