Arrow As Brown Refuses to Stop Immigration, real cost revealed: £8.8Billion Per year!


llustration: A crowd in London today . . .

Despite all the evidence showing that mass immigration has been extremely harmful to Britain, and a House of Lords report exposing every pro-immigration argument as a lie, Gordon Brown has once again said that “immigration is good for the UK” and has rejected suggestions that an annual limit is needed.

At the same time, the real cost of mass immigration into Britain is of the order of £8.8billion a year – compared to what the Labour government claims are “benefits” of £6billion per year.

According to Oxford Professor of Demography, David Coleman, said that the costs to the public sector include, amongst other things, £1.5billion to run the asylum system, £280million to teach English to migrants and at least £330million to treat illnesses such as HIV.
Professor Coleman’s calculations do however not include the costs to the judicial and prisons system of mass immigration, which would push the total up even further.
Speaking at his monthly news conference, Brown said the Australian-style points-based system would effectively “restrict the numbers of people who come into this country from outside Europe”.
While this claim is also debatable, the reality is that the mass immigration which he has his party allowed for decades –- along with his fellow Tory immigration-criminals -– is the primary cause of the crisis which faces Britain today, and which if left unchecked and un-reversed, will see indigenous Britons submerged and wiped out as the majority population within the next 60 years.
Brown’s comments follow a report by the Lords Economic Affairs Committee which says competition from immigrants had had a negative impact on the low paid, on training for young UK workers, and had contributed to high house prices.
The peers called for a cap on immigration levels, saying the government “should have an explicit target range” and set rules to keep within that limit.
They raised the prospect of cutting the rights of people to follow relatives who have settled in the UK. They rejected claims by ministers that a high level of immigration was needed to prevent labour shortages as “fundamentally flawed”.
They also warned that the points-based system carried a “clear danger of inconsistencies and overlap”.
The committee, whose members include two ex-chancellors and other Cabinet members, took eight months to consider government immigration policies.
Inquiry chairman Lord Wakeham said: “Looking to the future, if you have got that increase in numbers and you haven’t got any economic benefit from it, you have got to ask yourself, is that a wise thing to do? That is why we want the government to look at it.”
Committee chairman Lord Vallance of Tummel, a former CBI president, said the government’s analysis of the economic impact from immigration was “very shaky”.

The report claims that if net immigration of 190,000 people per year continued over the next 20 years, it would contribute to a 10% increase in house prices.

Sir Andrew Green of pressure group Migration Watch, said the report had “torn to shreds the government’s economic case for the massive levels of immigration which they have actively encouraged”.
