Boris Johnson says immigration brings "energy and dynamism" to the economy - but stresses that people want it controlled.

1. There are plenty of jobs available for the immigrants, and
2. The immigrants are willing to assimilate.
Unfortunately, neither of the above seems to be true. So yeah, I'm disappointed to hear Johnson say what he did. Peace for our time, eh, Boris?
I’d add a third - high IQ and/or bringing a lot of their own $$. No reason to bring over a 70 IQ Somali even if he/she is willing to assimilate.
Migration of poor people with no skills who hate you gives no benefit. It harms the country.
You folks are dead on. The left doesn’t look at the issue of dead wood immigrants. 1880’s influx had a 30% return rate-couldn’t hack it. Would the left buy into it? Their motives are different.
Sure. Because nothing revs up an economy more then adding millions of welfare recipients with a side order of Jihad.
It is worth emphasizing that Boris Johnson is a leading member of the British right. Just more evidence of how messed up the UK is politically.
and it’s ‘fantastic’ for all the rape victims too
70+% go on WELFARE! Yup- real ‘fantastic’
Energetic rape and
Dynamic murder.
UK politicians (both left and right) evidently think that this problem will go away on its own. it won’t.
Consider, say, a German immigrant to the UK. That person might become a UK citizen, but part of him is still German. But his children, not so much. The children would have no desire to remake the UK into a Germanic state.
That sort of thing is not occurring in the typical UK Muslim family. Studies out of the UK show that, in general, children of Muslim immigrants are MORE radical than their parents. Here’s one study, from 2007:

Is it possible that Boris is talking about immigrants from Poland, Czech Republic etc.
He is right. The sales for Rape Kits are going through the roof!

Excellent question! There is a clip at the link. In it Johnson spoke about Australian immigrants to the UK. But he skirted around the third-world immigrant problem. That’s my beef with him.
Prove it. Defend that statement. With something more than feel-good platitudes, that is. I want someone to show me all these alleged benefits of immigration. I can see the COSTS clearly. But the benefits seem much more elusive.
I would be disappointed if he skirted around that issue. However, in this day and age of PC, he might be charged with some crime or another in the UK if he directly criticized third world immigrants.
That's "LEGAL" Immigration!
"energy and dynamism"
