We don't want them to be more like us. We want them to understand and respect our culture and way of life if they choose to live here. Not throw their way of life from a Stone Age shithole of a country in our faces and say 'this is us, deal with it or fuck off.' That's UTTERLY disrespectful to the common people of the country that has provided you with free healthcare, housing, and free education for your children. It really is THAT simple.

And you are aware there are immigrants that have jobs and pay taxes right?

Yeah unfortunately the majority of Muslim immigrants in the UK arrive from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Somalia etc and these are not nice places.

Mogadishu Somalia

Islamabad, Pakistan

Dhaka, Bangladesh

I have a friend who is a massive cricket fan and has been to Bangladesh and Pakistan to see England play on tour. And he has quite reliably informed me that these countries are utter shitholes. No amount of holiday brochure pictures will change that. Nice try though.

Well, while I'm sure you're friends anecdotes are wonderfully insightful, reffering to the developing world, with their massive cities, internet, freeways, and hospitals, as "Stone Age shitholes" carries with it a nice little air of "These masses of brown savages sure should be glad we civilized folk invented fire. And they get it for free!"

It's funny, because just about everything you're saying is what American's in the Southwest like to say about Mexicans.

And while I cant speak to British immigration, it's the same thing that was said about Chinese immigrants, Irish immigrants, Afro-Carribean immigrants, and Easter European immigrants here in America.
