well, what else is new. It seems Mr Brown isnt very popular indeed.

Quote: "Immigration chiefs had claimed that vital staff, with powers to arrest illegal immigrants working without permits, would not be affected in a devastating round of redundancies affecting up to a third of employees"

The article seems to be pretty nasty in my opinion. But the thing that id like an answer to is why, if they helped save 1000 jobs being used by illegal immigrants, they are to be axed.

I am sure that whatever this is there are reasons for it - I mean I would rather this teams size was cut that any doctors or nurses jobs were cut you know? When you think of it that way its not such a bad thing!

As for the 1000 immigrants - how many of them do you think were actually working and paying tax? Simple answer none! Those that were working were probably getting cash in hand and I am sure there will be plenty more people to fill those jobs - so there will still be no tax generated really! 

Honestly I do think something needs to be done about all the illegal immigrants and just don't believe enough is being done! Even legal immigrants!  I mean how many countries could we move to in the EU and work for a yr - get a council house, free health care and benefits if we decide to stop working? No sirree I am sure we would be sent packing back to England!

You would. Ive seen a lot of countries say that they arent accepting any immigrants for now, they are trying to get their own countrymen working etc.

Over here we get hundreds crossing the border daily,  from countries that are too harsh for them to live in. I dont blame them for that, and i dont hate em for it. But you have to think, the rules need to be enforced a tad more severly, and that only those that have refugee status remians here
