Train our youngsters, offer the incentives that it would cost us for others etc. Not only would it help our own youngsters by training them, it could also get them off benefits and give them a better life.
And yes this is me wearing my heart on my sleeve.
You want reciprocity with third world countries?
Absolutely, if it's an open door it must be reciprocal.
How many Brits do you expect to move to Somalia, Syria or Afghanistan?
I'm not sure that really matters. If there was an open door policy then I'd want it in return.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not in favour of such a policy but it was a counter to fun fellas open door for all
Ah gotcha.
IMO an open door policy absolutely cannot work. A points based system that is dynamic and quickly flexes to support skills needs in the UK (inc low skilled) is the only sensible approach. However, this has to work in tandem with an education system and benefits system that prioritises skills development of Brits to ensure the skills gaps are minimised AND also recognises negative indigenous population growth and therefore the requirement for a suitable sized workforce. "I agree with you 100%. Even without the education and benefits systems (although I agree with those) I would take a points based system that is quickly adaptable to support needed skills. | |||

Absolutely not, unskilled workers via uncontrolled immigration is not fanciable. Not unless the countries they would be coming from offer a reciprocal agreement.
We have an aging population, a housing crisis and pensions crisis. Once again, we’re not in a position to beg here.
This is where I say, quite clearly, I couldn't give a fuck, uncontrolled immigration without reciprocation is not on.
Train our youngsters, offer the incentives that it would cost us for others etc. Not only would it help our own youngsters by training them, it could also get them off benefits and give them a better life.
And yes this is me wearing my heart on my sleeve.
You want reciprocity with third world countries?
Absolutely, if it's an open door it must be reciprocal.
How many Brits do you expect to move to Somalia, Syria or Afghanistan?
I'm not sure that really matters. If there was an open door policy then I'd want it in return.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not in favour of such a policy but it was a counter to fun fellas open door for all
I don’t recall suggesting an open door for all - though I do support moves towards free-movement across the globe - for the good of humanity.
I just said immigrants are welcome and we should look to use them, for work, tax paying and the benefit of society, rather than screaming ‘deport’ and stuffing them in camps.
You advocated an open door policy saying we could train them here. Further stating 'were not in a positionto beg', I think you meant 'beggars can't be choosers' though.
We have never had open door immigration to the U.K (at least not in the last century). Even as an EU member we weren’t ‘open door’
We were open door.
Nope. We weren’t in Schengen and we had deportation rights (as indeed all EU nations do).
We could only deport in some very extreme cases.
Which often involved criminal records.
You don't need schenghen for freedom of movement.
I didn’t say you needed Schengen for freedom of movement. I said we didn’t have an open door policy.
I was correct.

We were open door.
Nope. We weren’t in Schengen and we had deportation rights (as indeed all EU nations do).
We could only deport in some very extreme cases.
Which often involved criminal records.
You don't need schenghen for freedom of movement.
I didn’t say you needed Schengen for freedom of movement. I said we didn’t have an open door policy.
I was correct.
Freedom of movement is exactly as it says.
Freedom to move and work.
That's an open door policy.
It's in the treaties.
Why bring up schenghen?"Freedom of movement to non-Schengen nations still requires checks on arrival or departure, and can result in refusal of entry. Schengen doesn’t. | |||

Absolutely, if it's an open door it must be reciprocal.

I don’t recall suggesting an open door for all - though I do support moves towards free-movement across the globe - for the good of humanity.

They’re here now - the statistics tell us. So let’s put them to use. And if they can’t or won’t support themselves for a period (say 90 days), then they can be deported as we were able to do under EU law.

"That level of immigration is unsustainable if we want to preserve our national identity, culture and values. We have to ask why immigration at that level is necessary. Do we need low paid workers just so Brits can live comfortably on state benefits? National identity, culture and values change with time. Always have, always will. And long May that be the case" Indeed, but that change needs to be gradual and in accordance with the wishes of the existing population. Increasing the UK population through immigration by around 1% year on year is a recipe for disaster. | |||

"It is considered a major setback for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak who has been under pressure to deliver a 2019 Tory manifesto pledge to cut net migration. Appearing on ITV's This Morning, Mr Sunak said the numbers were "too high" but denied they were out of control." It's no more out of control than it was before. If we discount HK & Ukraine then net migration is lower than 2021. | |||

And yes this is me wearing my heart on my sleeve.
You want reciprocity with third world countries?
Absolutely, if it's an open door it must be reciprocal.
How many Brits do you expect to move to Somalia, Syria or Afghanistan?
I'm not sure that really matters. If there was an open door policy then I'd want it in return.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not in favour of such a policy but it was a counter to fun fellas open door for all
I don’t recall suggesting an open door for all - though I do support moves towards free-movement across the globe - for the good of humanity.
I just said immigrants are welcome and we should look to use them, for work, tax paying and the benefit of society, rather than screaming ‘deport’ and stuffing them in camps.
You advocated an open door policy saying we could train them here. Further stating 'were not in a positionto beg', I think you meant 'beggars can't be choosers' though.
We have never had open door immigration to the U.K (at least not in the last century). Even as an EU member we weren’t ‘open door’
We were open door.
Nope. We weren’t in Schengen and we had deportation rights (as indeed all EU nations do).
We could only deport in some very extreme cases.
Which often involved criminal records.
You don't need schenghen for freedom of movement.
I didn’t say you needed Schengen for freedom of movement. I said we didn’t have an open door policy.
I was correct.
What is let's welcome them and train them, without any context if it isn't open door?
They’re here now - the statistics tell us. So let’s put them to use. And if they can’t or won’t support themselves for a period (say 90 days), then they can be deported as we were able to do under EU law.
They can't legally work until their claims are processed. We don't even know if they're legit until said process has taken place.
Exactly. The system needs streamlining. Rather than having people sitting around endlessly costing money, let’s change things radically.
We've been through all of this before. How do you verify people who have no identification and fabricate stories?
You allocate them work ID whilst their applications are processed. This ain’t an unsolvable problem, think radically.
We need a workforce, correct? What use does locking people in camps have? Let’s get them to work.
In essence you would allow unvetted people into the country with a permit to work? How would that work in terms of ensuring the person was of no risk, how would tax and NI be collected, bank account opened?
His answer seems to be that you can arrive here illegally. And the uk should just fast track you a working visa without ID. And thus de regulate the work place.
My answer is that the shit-show we live in isn’t working, and hasn’t worked since 2010, so let’s have a look at ways to make it work, without unnecessary, expensive and cruel deportations.
The shit show based on your assumptions on freedom of.movement has been around long before 2010.
Australia has a regulated legal asylum system ie: they drag illegal asylum seekers back from were they came from and their economy is outgrowing the other members of the g7, low migration works down south.

"The issue goes deeper than that. We have to understand why we need +600,000 immigrants in a year. Why do we need ANY immigration? I know, pick veg and pay for the pensioners pension. I got that off a left wing commentator on the telly.
both of these comments are interesting. when you question why we need immigration it is often met with hostility, but the question is valid, what can't we fulfil ourselves and why.
The second part, pick veg and pay for pensions is the bit that makes me feel more uneasy. The same people who are hostile towards questioning why we need immigration often say they can do the work we don't want to do, that makes the whole thing feel very wrong, like stepping back in time.

"As the OP states, 606k is the NET figure for immigration. Remember that GROSS immigration (i.e. new arrivals) is actually 1.2 mil. That's an absurd level of inward migration and completely unsustainable. We have to be clear what level of immigration is needed, then stick to it. " 557k left in 2022. This breaks down as 92k Brits, 202k EU Nationals and 263k Non-EU Nationals. Not sure on the figures entering although I'm sure there was around 250k Refugees including small boats. | |||

But that still begs the question why do we NEED around 1 mil. economic migrants? It tells me there is something very wrong with our society if we must rely on that level of immigration to keep us ticking-over. | |||

There is 1.3m people unemployed and 1.1m vacancies. There are 8.73 million people aged 16-64 were economically inactive. Those are obviously inactive for varying reason but really, nearly 9m people of prime age cannot or do not work due to personal circumstances. This includes early retirement, students, long term illness and carers. | |||

If someone genuinely cannot work due to ill health of a disability then they need to be discounted from the figures. If someone has retired early because they can afford to retire early, who are we or the Govt to tell them they need to rejoin the workforce? What we really need to get a figure for are the shirkers and lazy work avoiders. Then we need to see how that maps geographically with the job vacancies (we will also likely find there are some areas where people rely on seasonal work but are unemployed the rest of the year). | |||

The 8.7m people who are economically inactive are not included in the 1.3m unemployed figure. I had a discussion with someone yesterday re. Sickness, specifically MH but we can women it to all sickness. I would hazard a guess that a decent percentage of those 8.7m people are actually able to work, whether that be overcoming sickness, not actually having to be a carer, students working part time etc. Obviously genuine illness and retirement shouldn't be forced back into the market. I do agree that more research needs to go into it though. | |||
