Mass Immigration Could See Water Shortages, Failing Hospitals - And We Won't Feel Richer, says Civitas The report from Civitas found that large-scale immigration will have a negative effect on standards of living as any economic benefits will be outweighed by pressures

Christopher Hope 01 Aug 2014 Uncontrolled immigration could lead to water shortages, overcrowded classrooms, failing hospitals and the need for hundreds of new cities to cope with Britain’s booming population, a new report warns.

The report from Civitas found that large-scale immigration will have a negative effect on standards of living as any economic benefits will be outweighed by pressures imposed by a much bigger population.

In a report on economic consequences of immigration, Cambridge University economist Robert Rowthorn said any gains would be small compared to strains placed on amenities such as housing, schools and hospitals.

The 85-page report that as a result gross domestic product would grow as a whole but GDP per capita would be only marginally affected by projected population growth forecast for the coming century.

Mr Rowthorn, Emeritus Professor of Economics at Cambridge University, said: “Unrestrained population growth would eventually have a negative impact on the standard of living through its environmental effects such as overcrowding, congestion and loss of amenity.”

No, they are talking about mass immigration to the UK. It is primarily LEGAL immigration.

What do they mean "could see"?

For decades our country has been economically gang banged by a government sponsored open border free for all, millions choking off our healthcare social services, everything...They've robbed and beat out system and middle America into the floor....There is no traditional fix for this.

That wasn't enough so the government ruling class shot the wad and looted the American treasure of trillion with their insane reckless foreign policies while pretending countries like Communist China and Mexico were our good friends. All while exporting American industry to foreign lands...Importing tens of millions of the ignorant poor..

Nothing, zip, zero is done which benefits middle America because that is NOT the goal. Their goal is to get rid of most everyone, get rid of independence, nationalism and get rid of united people...Divide the united until there are no more united...

Even after top officials in government labeled Americans as dangerous assh*les and terrorist and put it in writing.

Even after being lied to and BS's 10,000 times by the ruling class, people are still too stupid to see or understand wealthy Republicans and Democrats are all riding in the same GD limo, with the controlling super wealthy globalist the wheel.

They've subverted, undermined and devalued your money, the economy, undermined your borders, your sovereignty, your electoral process and your freedom...

And many still can't quite grasp what TF is happening.

Yep, the same people whose ancestors fought off the Vikings and the Nazis are now INVITING an invasion of muzzies.

Its all part of the New World Order: 5% of the uber rich at the top, 40% of a disarmed middle class to serve them and pay the taxes, and 55% of do-nothing slugs to live on the back of the middle class and terrorize them with crime.

Right, but it’s not anything “we will see” as it’s already here and has been for many years. Large scale immigration is choking the U.S. off....It’s making what has been happening in the UK seem tame and insignificant in comparison. And it’s gets much worse.

Of course, none of this was an accident for the UK or US. This has all been planned and manipulated.

I corrected it and said we are Don't you comprehend what I wrote? And you don't have to lecture me about immigration. I have been working on the issue for 8 years including lobbying on the Hill.
