UK folks like their servant classes. We don’t.

A report published today by the influential Institute for Public Policy Research argues that finding and forcibly deporting all Britain's illegal workers would cost £4.7 billion and take 30 years.

The study says if these migrants were allowed to stay they would pay £1 billion a year in tax to the Treasury.

Funny, how these so-called think tanks never address:

1. How much keeping them would cost.
   
2. How much of the estimated £4.7 billion and 30 years time estimate is due to costs imposed by the legal vipers.
   
3. How much the £1 billion a year in tax to the Treasury will be off-set by payments from the treasury to support the illegal workers and their spawn.

Of course, anyone who asks such logical questions are immediately shouted down as racists and xenophobes.

Media bias from across the pond.

Doing a search on this organization just shows that its just another far left wing think tank.

Seeks to promote social justice, democratic participation, and economic and environmental sustainability in government policy.

The Institute for Public Policy Research is the UK’s leading progressive think tank

Interesting in that they actually spell out the bottom line for government - revenues.

Sounds like a good idea if there ever was one. We dont fully appreciate how much they contribute to the economy, and we need to keep them in the sectors they are so good at. Namely, agriculture.

Some of the other posts are a little less than hospitable. But what do you Americans have against Poles, Romanians, Czechs, who are good honest Europeans trying to earn some cash? Its not your country, so why bother getting into the debate, other than to pontificate?
