Has Immigration On The Scale That We Have Seen It, Been Beneficial To The Uk?

Please enter both the advantages and the disadvantages.

Perhaps I should start off, yes I know that the NHS could not work today, without the valuable work of the foreign Surgeons, Doctors, Nurses and auxiliary staff, but then one has to ask, how did we manage before mass immigration?

Before mass immigration, one could speak their mind, without the constant looking over one's shoulder, to see if one had offended anyone.

The words political correctness, racist, bigot, xenophobic, islamophobic etc had little or no airing.

Could the UK exist without immigration?

No of course not and never has, but the right type of immigrant is needed, those who are prepared to integrate and also bring in skills that are an advantage to the UK.
