Today the picture is very different, decent jobs are at a premium for most working class, government services that you have to pay for are in place to care for all immigrants legal and illegal. There is no open land waiting to be farmed, no factories waiting for staff.

So give us the reasons why anyone should be paying money to support more illegal immigrants.

And don't tell me the country they come from is a shit hole, that's the fault of the leaders and in democratic countries the fault of the voters.
