The majority of immigrants are "of the Muslim persusasion"? Do you have a stat for that? Most immigration to this country is from within the EU so I'm a litle dubious of that assertion.

Multiculturalism has failed? Well in that racism is prevalent and increasing, I guess so.

Terrorism? C'mon. You block Muslims from entering the country on the basis of the actions of a tiny, tiny minority of people who follow that faith?

Hardly surprising we are less densely populated than the US. The issue in the UK is almost exclusively in London and the SE and that is down to economic and planning policy.
Many believe immigrants restrict individual freedoms and democratic processes. Whilst they may believe that (see my point about the prevalence of racism) can you provide any evidence to suggest this is the case?

We can all go and find some dubious facts that support our claim from Mr Google, no matter what our views are.
We can find evidence, backed by research, which confirms, denies or challenges our opinions. You have made your mind up and no amount of hard evidence is going the change that. Always good to encounter an open mind

Fact... The vast majority of foreign workers come here to make lots of cash to spend back in their homeland. They do not contribute as much to the UK economy as british workers.
No it's not a fact, it's your opinion.

Quote:
The government is not interested in persuing illegal workers with false NI numbers, because they are paying tax and NI and would be an admission that the illegal immigration problem is far worse than they would have us believe.
Again, fact or opinion?

You can only judge whats going on by speaking to these people, not by reading other peoples biased views.
Well I'm assuming these people are no longer here given your opinion of immigrants, especially illegal ones, I presume you've reported them, no doubt accompanied by a girlfriend , to the authorities.
