That photo on post 8 summarizes their problem.

Why the British people stood back and allowed excessive (and misplaced) immigration is a mystery to me.

When you are in a hole, the first thing you need to do is to stop digging.

The first thing the UK needs to do to is boot out the Labour Party. That's a start.

Get rid of this Global Warming nonsense that will bankrupt you and make things even worse.

Change your suicidal immigration policies.

Make it clear that there will be NO Sharia Law in Britain and that if people don't like that they can leave.

That's a start.

the belief that life will get better

Not as long as they continue to allow the Muslimization of their country. The combination of insane immigration policies, generous welfare programs and huge Muslim families is a formula for culture death. Anyone who is content to sit back and hope that things get better is delusional.

The result of 16 consecutive years of Labour rule.

If we had two consecutive 8-year Democrat presidencies, the result here would be much the same. Far, far too long a period to hand your country over to people who fundamentally hate it and only want to ruin it.

But, thank goodness, they’re politically correct. And they have diversity and multiculturalism.

Multiculturalism is killing the west.

I say send all the 3rd worlders back to where they came from and put a moratorium on all further immigration for at least 20 years.

Obama is using the same playbook here to destroy America.

Historians of U.S. policy will recognize the legislative history of the federalization, regulation, and restriction of international migration. Setting the rules for the naturalization of aliens had been a constitutional obligation of the federal government since 1790. But the procedures for naturalization along with most of the practices of citizenship rights were still set at the state level in the first half of the nineteenth century. Individual states, not the federal government, also originally set regulations on migration.

Changes in citizenship and the regulation of the country’s borders shifted to the federal government only after the Civil War. Responding to abolition and emancipation, Americans in 1869-71 debated the meaning of citizenship; the result was a series of laws and amendments to the constitution-including the Naturalization Act of July 14, 1870-that decisively re-located citizenship from state to federal jurisdiction.

In 1882 came the Chinese Exclusion Act along with the first Immigration Act passed at the federal level to exclude entire categories of foreigners. Thereafter, federal regulation of migration increased. The subsequent Act of 1888 provided for the expulsion of immigrants. The heavily restrictive national origins quotas legislated in 1921 and 1924 effectively ended the mass migrations of the nineteenth century.

Only about 500,000 legal immigrants entered the U.S. in the whole of the 1930s. About a million entered in the 1940s, including World War II refugees. By contrast, of course, the U.S. accepted over 1.5 million immigrants, counting only legals, in the single year of 1990 alone.

The Great Immigration Lull was ended dramatically by the 1965 Immigration Act. Typical of so many Great Society reforms, it was passed amid much moralizing rhetoric and promptly had exactly the opposite of its advertised effect.

U.S. immigration policy was not transformed without debate. There was a debate. It just bore no relationship to what subsequently happened. In particular, staunch defenders of the national-origins quota system, like the American Legion, allowed themselves to be persuaded that the new legislation really enacted a sort of worldwide quota, no longer skewed toward Northern Europe-a policy easily caricatured as "racist" in the era of the civil-rights movement-but still restricting overall immigration to the then-current level of around 300,000. (A detailed account of Congress's deluded intent and the dramatic consequences appears in Lawrence Auster's devastating The Path to National Suicide: An Essay on Immigration and Multiculturalism, published by AICF.)

Today, it is astonishing to read the categorical assurances given by supporters of the 1965 Immigration Act. "What the bill will not do," summarized Immigration Subcommittee chairman Senator Edward Kennedy: "First, our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same ... Secondly, the ethnic mix will not be upset . . . Contrary to the charges in some quarters, [the bill] will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and deprived nations of Africa and Asia . . ."

Every one of these assurances has proved false.

Overall, 64 per cent think that Britain is going in the wrong direction and just 31 per cent believe it is on the right track.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Even so, Labour might form the next government if the election were to be held now. The Conservatives are leading, but not by enough to win an outright majority of seats. This means Labour could negotiate a coalition with the Liberals, and stay in power--and nothing would change in the UK. :(
