Not unless (like certain posters here), you don't have a job so don't have to worry about losing it.
Attack the argument not the poster. Because it isn't like someone looking for a job, cares whether they are in a job market that has lots of low paid jobs and lots of competition from immigrants, or fewer higher paid jobs and less competition from immigrants. Either way they have problems but at least they could have them in a country with a lower population. |

How much economic damage are you prepared to withstand over this issue?

And incase people don't realise the cost to the economy from Brexit, isn't because of those who voted OUT, it is because of the Capitalists who are really the ones gambling with our economy.

Less than the damage a high population and lack of social cohesion would cause from having too many immigrants in the country.

Even if immigration stopped completely we would still have a big population, with social issues, like we always have. Your world isn't going to change much.
Do you know anyone that wants to let a flood happen when their house is already flooded? Or do most people want to stop the flood and let the waters die down? |

Stopping a flood still means we have a flood, but at least that flood doesn't get any higher.

Are you not the poster, how believes no one should be forced to work for a living ? well if they dont work dont you need immigrants to do the job you dont want to do ?
If the citizens income was in place then jobs would have to pay more to entice people to work in them. But lets bring in cheap labour because that's the humane thing to do. |

No you need employers to pay more so that people will do the jobs they didn't want to do at lower pay..

So can we sign you up to a 20% cut in your benefits?
I do care about the quality of life, which would be damaged by a high population. |

There is no flood of course. Restricting immigration via Brexit will make a tiny difference. It will make a few people feel better but the population will stay much the same.
We should have a negative net immigration rate. |

Just one example:
https://www.theguardian.com/society/...deloitte-study There are other factors to consider for the future to for which immigration and the economy are intertwined. |

Where do you think we are going to house them when we can't provide enough now? Where are the schools going to be to educate their children? How many jobs will be available for them? How will the NHS cope with that additional number when it is struggling now? |

Not sure how you equate that to net immigration at over 300,000 a year. That's an extra 3 million in ten years.

Oh, we know a large proportion of Brexiters played Russian Roulette with others' jobs as they were beyond being affected. Or so they thought. A lot of those will be relying on public services, which will be decimated in a severe downturn.
All this koantemplation "price worth paying" is easy talk. When it starts to hurt, they will be screaming as loud as everyone else. They, however, will only have themselves to blame. There is no evidence to support what your saying. Would seem that people are happy to accept small downturn in the economy in return for control of the border and control over laws |

But what do you class as lower pay ? the more you increase pay the more chance you have of business looking to send work jobs over seas to be done, there are really on two types of jobs ones that have to be done on UK soil and ones that dont
But thanks to weak governments and immigration, we have less power in the world than we used to have. All these people wanting to come to this country do so because we have a great country, yet most seem to want to destroy what make it great. We need to show a better way, so that people will want change in their country too. |

Which is why we change the world, rather than race to the bottom.

That is true enough but then business these days is happy enough for taxpayers to top up its employees earnings with in-work benefits which to an extent encourages and enables it to keep pay lower.
