Arrow Immigration Creates Unemployment Amongst Native Britons: The Facts

An article in today’s Sunday Telegraph confirms something everyone who knows the truth about immigration, already knows: native Britons, particularly our youngsters and women seeking part-time employment, are finding it increasingly difficult to get jobs and are being squeezed out of the labour market by mass immigration.

In addition, when they do find employment, wages are seldom much above the national minimum wage. All of which is excellent news for captains of industry and commerce and for their shareholders – but extremely bad news for our fellow citizens seeking work and taxpayers in general, who fund the benefits system!



The Sunday Telegraph article begins:-

“Since 2004, when citizens of eight central and eastern European countries were given the right to work in Britain, the number of UK-born people working here has fallen by 500,000, from 24.4 million to 23.9 million.

Over the period, the number of migrants in work, including people born abroad but now naturalised as British citizens, rose by 1.1 million - to 3.3 million. They now make up one in eight of the workforce.

The figures, from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), provide the strongest evidence yet that Britons have lost their jobs to immigrants, says a leading expert on immigration.

Robert Rowthorn, a Cambridge University professor who uncovered the findings, said: “It seems hard to deny that immigration from the new EU member states has had a negative impact on the employment of UK natives.”

And

“The percentage of working-age, UK-born Britons in work fell from a peak of 75.7 in 2003, the year before European Union enlargement, to 75.2 in 2007. Part of the fall could be attributed to employers directly replacing British workers with migrants, particularly in agriculture, factories and low-skilled service-sector jobs.

However, Prof Rowthorn said the most likely victims were British-born school-leavers who had never had a job, having failed to find the kind of casual work they might have walked into a few years ago.”

There is of course another facet of immigration that affects our young people in particular. Young couples are finding it increasingly difficult to either rent or buy a home of their own. Such is the scale of immigration that demand is pushing both rents and mortgages out of the reach of the young - a problem compounded by migrant fuelled low wages and unemployment!

Immigration – what is it good for? Very little – unless you happen to be an unscrupulous employer or leader of one or other of the Establishment parties, ever more dependent upon the migrant vote!
