Mortgage Driven Development
What is your experience of living in an area with high levels of immigrants?
“Migrants to the UK bring valuable skills and ideas with them and help to fill job vacancies where Britons are unable or unwilling to do so.”Their taxes help pay for our public services and our pensions, long after many migrants have returned home.” Quote from ITN.
What do you think? In my area I see organised criminal gangs who have travelled here on false passports and with fake id’s have managed to fraudulantly acquire mortgages – install all their gang members and turn a brand new development into a crime ridden, unsociable lawless area in 6 months. I can’t see that they are contributing anything positive at all, either financially, economically or socially. Unfortunately what I see and experience is the destruction of a community, and I can see it in other areas of London too, it’s not a race issue, it’s attitude and many come here to commit crime. Some cultures are clearly more driven to be successful, honest and hard working than others – what is your experience?
Are you talking about legal or illegal immigrants?
In my area, the legal ones are benifiting the community. They are hard workers and contribute just as much as any other person around them. As long as they aren’t sending the money to family south of the border for the money to be spent there, I am happy. As far as I am concerned, they are Americans the same as the rest of us.
On the other hand, the illegals are posing a big problem that I don’t like. I work in a county jail/correctional facility so I get to have my fair share of run ins with them. People do not realize that it costs money each day to just house these inmates. That money goes to electricity, water, food, and several other things. When they are arrested for a crime, they are brought into jail and sit there until they have court and then get to sit in jail or prison until their time is served. Do you know how much that costs us hardworking Americans in tax dollars?
Aside from the justice system, most people only hear about the problems that they pose with the educational system, the health care system, and the economy. So of course they are a slow destruction to a community. People just don’t get to see it cause the effects of it aren’t where everyone can see it, nor do people want to pay attention to it.
