@diver removed their quoted postThe net costs of immigrants depends very much on what stats one looks at. See for example:
https://migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/briefings/the-fiscal-impact-of-immigration-in-the-uk/
which maintains that " studies typically find that the fiscal impacts of migration represent less than 1% of GDP."
Furthermore, "Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) (2024) ... find[s] that a migrant arriving at age 25 and earning the UK average earnings has a more positive lifetime fiscal contribution than a UK-born worker on the same salary, because the UK does not pay the cost of education and other public services they received during childhood. However, they found that low-wage workers had a negative lifetime fiscal impact, while high-wage workers had a positive one."
-Removed-Government exists to protect all our rights equally. ๐
We almost always extend rights protections to visitors, which is not only good manners but it simplifies things - we don't have to create DIFFERENT laws for visitors, etc.
When do UK residents have the right to be put up in a hotel and given free food, phones, etc.? When their homes are destroyed in a fire? Flood? Wartime? When do you do that for 'taxpayers'?
-Removed-Government exists to protect ALL our rights EQUALLY. ๐
See, the Left thinks government exists to do wonderful things and make life better for everyone.
The Right thinks governments exists to protect personal property and THAT'S ALL.
Both the Left and Right are wrong. ๐
Government exists to protect all the rights of everyone in the society equally.

But why so bitter, bruuuh?
-Removed-So, you don't like looking at data, especially when it contradicts what you said without data. I pointed out that looking only at the initial costs once immigrants set foot on your island is a fragmentary picture.
none of us brow-beaten cap-doffing plebs can trust a single word which come out of the mouths this pathological lying bunch of Marxist renegades.
Gone down a rabbit hole there, much. Next you'll be telling us the police lie about crime statistics.
@diver removed their quoted postWhy the heck are you up this early on a Sunday morning griping about immigrants? Did an immigrant take away YOUR job? Compared to Gaza or Ukraine, the sun is shining out yer arse, as they they say in Krautland.
PS I'm up this early to walk the dog. Seizure later.
