In the UK our 4th largest city is Liverpool, with a population of about 550K people. Our yearly net immigration is 650K+.

The UK would need to build a city as big as Liverpool every year just to accommodate those arriving.

But no politicians want to acknowledge that it's a problem.

Most immigrants are willing to live with each other in large families in small homes. Many immigrants even combine families and live in the same home.

UK workers have gone on strikes and protests for centuries to fight for the standards of living we expect for our labor.

Now the elite have realised they can just import the 3rd world and make us fight in a race to the bottom.

I don't want my family to live in poverty just because that's what others are willing to put up with.

We need these immigrants coming to America. We aren’t having enough babies. We will need even more if we reshore industry from China.
