/// 1. 26% of NHS doctors are foreign born. The BMA advises that without immigration "many NHS services would struggle to provide effective care" ///
Where has UKIP said that they would ban all immigration? They have openly said that they would welcome immigrants that can be of use to the UK. I agree Doctors etc are important to the running of the NHS, but hordes of other immigrants are just a strain on the resources of out NHS.
/// Almost 5.5 million British people live permanently abroad. ///
Are you trying to say that if we come out of the EU, all those other European countries would kick all British people out?
/// 3. Immigrants are 60% less likely to claim benefits than a British born person. ///
Seeing that there are more British born people than immigrants, that might just possibly be true.
/// 4. Between 1996 and 2011, EU immigrants contributed £8.8billion more than they gained. ///
Should that have been 'more than they cost the the UK'? If so how can they possibly calculate that, taking into consideration such things as increased costs due to immigrant crime, provision of housing, school places, NHS facilities etc etc?
/// 5. Most studies suggest that immigration has no significant effect on overall employment or British unemployment. ///
That also has got to be untrue, look around you, if all those jobs now being occupied by immigrants were to be vacated, it would be easy to fill them with British born workers, thus reducing the overall unemployment figures.
