Between 2001 and 2011, Immigrants from outside the EU countries made a net fiscal contribution of about £5.2 billion to the UK economy, thus paying into the system about 3% more than they took out. In contrast, over the same period, natives made an overall negative fiscal contribution of £616.5 billion.


(The Fiscal Effects of Immigration to the UK - Christian Dustmann and Tommaso Frattini)
Immigrants always make a contribution to the country they immigrate to. Always.

Only haters claim otherwise. Or politicians up for an election.

Using the phrase is a touchstone for all those on the far right in this country.

And of course, they use it disparagingly also.

I think the phrase 'Brother's keeper' suggests that if we find a (singular) person in need that we should of course employ our Christian beliefs in helping him/her, give them fish, and get them on their feet to fish for themselves, to become self reliant.
We all do that. But, you seem to be toying with extrapolating that concept into one country of citizens 'keeping' the citizens of another country? Am I close?

That’s rich coming from you, the great pretender.

She is neither of those things. Play the ball not the person. (I thought that was your thing).
Well yes... but after she played me in another thread, I applying the 'play the man' rule selectively. She started insulting me.
