A Good Discourse on Immigration

[Sukerkin]

It is of course focussed on Britain primarily but it is of interest generally nonetheless:

It disturbs me a little that I agree with UKIP on the fundamental problems that uncontrolled immigration implies for the less well off in my country .

Continuing the look I am taking at attitudes to unregulated migration, here is a rather rough-cut short clip from Finland, where it seems there is also a high resistance to the modern waves of emigration from the strife-torn African nations:

And another presentation from a Nordic country, Norway:

And one about how bad things can get if people finally have enough of what they see as an insidious assault on their culture:

I do have to say that, whilst I can understand the pressures that drive those from 'failing' nations to go elsewhere, it is not at all sensible to go where you are not wanted. It may be a temporary escape from the dire situation in their home countries but such freedom of movement will be short-lived if the more prosperous and stable nations they flock to are, in their turn, rendered less prosperous and stable by the influx.

I had thought that maybe it was only the extremely xenophobic and neo-Nazi-like groups in Britain that felt so aggressively reactionary about the 'immigration issue' but it seems it is widespread, even amongst those European nations that have not seen the inrush that Britain has endured over the past twenty years or so.
