It is very easy to open one's mouth and shout ' stop immigration' but a much harder thing to do in practice. In order to stop it completely or at least, curtain it with a quota system we would have to come out of the E.U. Not a bad thing in my opinion as it is bleeding us dry !
Under the terms of the Shengen Agreement any euro citizen may move freely from one country to another and work in any country in the 'club.' Most migrants are economic ones who come here to work as joiners, bricklayers and other building site workers. Many realise that there is easy money to be made in the private sector and go round stating that they are self employed, making bundles of money doing really shoddy work. Not all, but most do. Some would put most Eire based tinkers and travellers to shame, their work is so bad !!! How do you sue a guy who lives in Bulgaria?
Another problem is that any Commonwealth citizen may come to the Mother country , here, and enter and work here too. Canada and Australia are independent and both operate a quota system refusing people entry even from Britain, but they could all come he if they wanted too!
Their quotas work along the lines of if they are short of numbers for a particular type of worker then they get in. But if they got too many painters then you've had it, no entry ! I for one, would totally agree with this system for Scotland after we finally gain our Independence, if ever.! Or even for the whole UK right now.
Do you know that a person living and born in Eire, southern Ireland may come to the mainland to work or seek work and they can claim dole money and other benefits. However it don't work the other way if we go over there!!! The real scammers are Irish doctors in British hospitals! This is how it works.
Doctor Who arrives off the ferry to take up a job in a British hospital. As he is domiciled in (Eire) Ireland he pays his income tax there and is deemed, by them, to be working abroad. Fair enough. He/she works over here and pays no tax nor has deductions taken for National Insurance or whatever. As long as they stay less than a spell of six months in this country they are not considered as residents. So they arrange a long weekend at home every six months and return to start again on another period of 5.5 months and do the same again!!!. They have only returned home for a visit and therefore are still considered as working abroad and they are out of the country they are considered as non resident and pay no tax in (Eire.) Ireland either. Then they moan that they are hard worked and under paid !!!! Nurses and to a lesser extent mid wives are at the same game.
The Irish 'do your driveway' mob are exactly the same. They work abroad too and pay no tax anywhere. Even if they are living in the North , in Britain, it takes a very good ear to pick out which end of the country they are from. In any case they just use a relative or friends address in the South. This racket is allowed by Britain, as all of Ireland was once British until they fought and won Independence in the 1920's which then allowed the South to remain neutral in WW 2 and it allowed the IRA, mainly and the new Irish Government to a degree, to assist the Germans in any way that they could against the old enemy. But if yo go there to work then you are on yor own as a foreigner.
