Immigration: For And Against

Two Britons tell Sky News their views on immigration.
AGAINST:
:: Nigel Sykes, 51, Sales Manager, Yorkshire
Before any debate on immigration can take place let us rid ourselves of one word: "racism". Until this word is put in its correct place there will never be reasoned debate. My views come as I watch my country slide deep down into the abyss of which it will never return. Coming from an area and background that was "everyone votes Labour round here" you may be surprised to now hear the same people are beginning to turn their back on this old custom. Here are some reasons of which I hear every day in pubs, clubs, parks, workplace etc.
Our two main political parties have had to revise immigration policy, why? Because another party has gained ground by listening to the views of its citizens, these citizens are after all the ones who put them there. Something which seems to evade 650 MPs. These are the same people who are now subject to the strains of mass uncontrolled immigration introduced by the Labour Party intending to create a one-party state. Without going too in depth let's look at some facts.
We have a huge housing shortage even amongst our own populace but yet continue to allow migrants to pour in and take housing that should be available for our own people.
Our hospitals and schools are at breaking point for one reason only. Immigration.
We cannot look after our own pensioners, many who have paid their dues all their life, but yet we can give benefits to immigrants who have paid nothing.
Many of our true unhealthy or disabled have had benefits cut yet we can somehow afford to give immigrants money to claimants back in their homeland.
No doubt I shall hear "they will do work no Brit will do" please show me the jobs and I guarantee I can have a Brit ready to start.
People are fed up of the complete disregard by immigrants for our own laws, our schools, our British heritage, customs and way of life.
FOR:
:: Angelo Iudice, chairman, Accademia Apulia UK
I am a naturalised British subject who has lived in London for over 30 years. During this time I have seen what was once a depressing pub-centred society turning into the centre of the world.
In today's multicultural Britain the most important, world-acclaimed architects, doctors, scientists and artists are leaving their mark: and they are not all English.
I would say to anyone who is anti-immigration that they should be proud of the fact that migrants from every corner of the world want to come here: Britain is the most civilised country in the whole world.
I was aged 18 when I first arrived on these shores searching for meritocracy within an open-minded society - a dimension I cherished from day one.
From day one I paid my taxes and upheld my social responsibilities.
Humanity and civilisation know no borders.
Modern Britain, in my view, is about tolerance and acceptance.
I believe that the focus should not be on "migration", but that politicians should be searching for solutions and strategies to fight world poverty in order to safeguard the future of our planet.
