Not to mention £150 for a fake passport from government workers, and another £150 for NI number and documentation. You only find these things out by talking to people who are illegally in this country.
How does someone come up with a figure for immigrants contribution to the economy?
In my experience immigrants spend as little as possible in this country, whilst either sending money back home to their family or buying property in their home country.
It does seem a little ironic that the same people who stand up for immigrants also criticise people in this country who buy property for investment purposes. Two of the immigrants that I have been directly involved with have done exactly that, they come here and earn 10 times the wages in their home country and buy property back home as a nest egg for their retirement.
They are generally very mean with spending money here because they try to live as cheaply as possible.
I would of thought contributing to the economy beside paying tax means spending some of that money on beer, fags, petrol and material items.
These immigrants do generally not re-invest as much money back into this coutries economy as British people.
