OK.
Let's try a simple game:
1. CLEAR your coffee table.
2. Lie down on it.
3. Invite all your family and neighbours to scramble on - all lying one on top of each other until TWO things happen:
a) The coffee table COLLAPSES under the accumulated weight and untenable stress upon its structural capabilities.
and;
b) Those at the bottom of the pile - those who were there 'FIRST' - are suffocated and SUFFER as a result of the UNCONTROLLED and frankly STUPID OVERLOADING.
Good game isn't it? |
It's a hilariously oversimplified game, that's for sure. It relies on the premise that the country be overwhelmingly and unshakably attractive in terms of immigration. If you are correct, and the country is worsened BY immigration, then it stands to reason that the more people migrate here, the less attractive it will be to other migrants, until a quick equilibrium is reached (as many leaving as arriving, a net migration of zero).
I'm not saying that this would be a good thing, I'm just saying that the idea that "more and more" immigrants will keep flooding into Britain forever until the counry is bursting at the seams is... well... it's not very realistic, is it.
