take far more than they give, often completely failing to integrate.

This is what any self-respecting country does - why can't we?

Selfishness should be the overriding principle behind it all. We can't solve the
world's problems, nor should we try.

Every single part of our immigration policy should be ultimately driven by
what benefits the British people.

Our approach to immigration shouldn't be caring, diverse, inclusive or
whatever other nonsense - it should be selfish, and we should make no
apologies for that.

I agree. Australia does it... You can't go there unless you have something to offer the country. That's not to say we shouldn't take our fair share of genuine refugees via agencies like the UN and the Red Cross.

The UK is terrified of international opinion. Japan, on the other hand, accepts next to no refugees but you never hear anyone accuse them of racism. They're the third largest economy in the world and in the last few years has taken in less than 100 refugees.
