Do you have evidence to say that immigration damages your country?

Economic or otherwise. This is not gonna be a debate about the legality or ethics of immigration, just the impact. Anecdotal evidence is less neutral and less significant than statistics.

Yea there are loads but I am betting you don't really want to hear.. for a start there's environmental impact.. the UK is a very small country and the parts that tend to have the highest concentrations tend to be the least able to sustain it, e.g. water resources etc.. Loss of countryside and biodiversity is just one.... Resources like the NHS and schools is another.. problems like child sex rings and people trafficking.. In Germany increase in sexual crimes.. and so on... I could write so much more but as I say it's almost always pointless.. And BTW I am NO racist.. it's just that it's entirely wrong to say there is no impact or that the impact is always good..

@Adaydreambeliever All anecdotal. Do you know what that means?

@Adaydreambeliever No. I'll deal with your points.

1) We live in a country where golf courses use twice as much land as housing. Biodiversity is threatened by climate change and industry in some places but not the 0.02% of space used for immigrant housing.
2) The NHS wouldn't run without immigrants and its dependent on their Labour. Immigrants use it less per capita than indigenous brits. Resources are short there because of austerity cuts, part-privatization and because we have an aging population. We still pay half per head than what the Americans do for theirs.
3) Immigrants are statistically no more likely to be involved in child sex crime than the rest of us, though of course, certain interests have highlighted one particular case.

I don't think you are racist at all. I just respectfully disagree with your evidence.

@TotalMiss The US had about 330 million people, not 3mil. How embarrassing that you don't even have a clue about the population of your own country. 🤦
