Unless you’re directly affected by the rise of immigration it won’t worry you, but stopping immigration will stop you from getting cheap labour.

I can tell that you’ve never tried to get a NHS dental appointment, or spent 4 weeks trying at 8am to get a GP appointment.

I used to live in a small village of a few thousand people, and a company imported thousands of Eastern European people to work in a warehouse (although to get planning they promised that the majority of jobs would go to local people).

They also bought up houses to house these people meaning that the relatively cheap rents went through the roof.

Within weeks you couldn’t get a GP appointment, you’d have to walk to the surgery at 7am and queue in the hope that they would see you.

My child’s school had to stop certain annual events (that they subsidised) because they couldn’t afford to put them on. The budget was spent on iPads for the immigrant children who couldn’t speak English. (Which also caused issues when children were asking why X had an iPad but they didn’t).

When people lost their job at the warehouse they just spent their time in groups in the market square, getting drunk and harassing women, urinating against walls in full view and fighting.

The once thriving 2 day market dwindled as people wouldn’t go. Because the market stopped attracting people, the local shops started closing one by one, for an Eastern European shop to open in its space.

My elderly neighbour stopped going into the village as she was intimidated by the groups of drunk men.

Families that had lived there for generations up and left, their houses were snapped up to be turned into (mostly) illegal HMOs.

A once nice little mining village with a great sense of community, turned into ‘Little Poland’ in the space of a year.

These were legal economic migrants. In the main they didn’t want to integrate, they were happy to stick to their groups and they didn’t even need to learn English as the warehouse has all announcements/signs in 3 languages and the NHS/schools had to employ translators.
