The argument for controlled immigration is easily won in today's world. Good jobs are getting scarcer, leaving low skilled, low paid jobs or unemployment as the only options. Medium-skilled jobs are the next under threat, don't take my word for it read the words of those who know better.

Manufacturing jobs under threat from automation

Middle class jobs at risk of becoming automated says study | Daily Mail Online

Even the boss of the Bank of England says so. Whole industries will be wiped out by new technology, warns Bank of England's Mark Carney

The future requires fewer people by a huge margin, maybe as many as 20% less or more as Mark Carney suggests. Without the cultural divisions within society, what will happen when the real unemployment figures hit 20%?

Will those with jobs give up enough of their wages to look after those without a job? That would drive the automation even faster. Or drive the need to send jobs overseas faster. Or will we live in a world where there's a few very wealthy, a small section that's doing OK? And the rest barely surviving?

This is without the social changes going on now. America is on track to be a nation where a huge percentage speak Spanish, 41 million and counting. Europe is being transformed into a continent in places where there are large Muslim Communities. What happens when 20% of the adult population, or more, can't get a job? We know what happened last time there was high unemployment in Germany.

And for some reason, they have yet to explain, the liberals want to allow more mass migration.

And before anyone says there will be jobs. Go to the North of England, or the Coal, Steel and Car manufacturing areas of America and see what they say. I'm sure there are other places in Europe that are the same.
