It said the country would have suffered slower growth, higher inflation and higher interest rates but for the new arrivals.

I suppose then that it all comes down to what sort of country you want.....

It appears that a decision has been made, and I believe that I can hear Admiral Lord Nelson spinning in his grave.

Such a similar future awaits us here in the USA if we fail to control our borders and if we allow Socialists to have their way, although many will argue that we are already past the pont of no return.

Interesting that Britain can make this connection, but GWB cannot.

To me, this isn’t so much an issue of socialism, but of capitalism. It’s no more than supply and demand, only rather than goods, the commodity is labor. What we are living through is a gradual leveling of labor costs across the world. It’s going to happen, the only question is at what speed.

...doing the jobs Ameri.....Brits won’t do

The difference is that the immigrants also latch on to every “free” government program they can get their hands on, as witness the fact that practically every Muslim terrorist arrested in Britain was living in government housing and receiving their generous dole.
Taxpayers are paying the rent and living expenses of the new arrivals. That’s how employers get away with paying wages 61% less to immigrants. Employers of immigrants ought to pay an “Immigrant Employee Surcharge” to reimburse what the taxpayer is paying for their cheap labor.

The elites are transnationalists. They have their culture. Private jets, trophy wives, tax dodging. The specifics of local culture means less than nothing, they actually despise it, everywhere. To them people are commodities, a ‘labor force’, nothing different than a pile of coal.

The left, including Bush, use the same arguments here to disenfranchise the people who built the country.

This is EXACTLY why our 2008 elections are CRITICAL and ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION and EFFECTIVE BORDER SECURITY are key!!!

Great Britain was warned years ago by Enoch Powell and all called him a nutter and a bigot. But, now, the USA and Britain are slipping toward a Third World status because of PC phoney compassion for people who break laws and will not assimilate. And Pelosi just wiped out a part of legislation on making English our lingo in the workplace, churches et al. Ah, the lefty Dems and their hatred for America!!

Hard working Poles doing the jobs “British” Muslims won’t do.
That’s actually the essence of this story.
