ON the immigration debate, look at whats happened so far with the introduction of all the new states to the EU. Despite the Suns claims that the 'country will be overrun by Poles' nothing of the sort has happened. The policy is that anyone from the new member states can enter the country and seek work with no recourse to public funds should they not find it. Why not apply this to all immigrants? Yes you can enter the country, find a job, pay taxes and become a member of society, no you can't enter the country and live on benefits. *Most* immigrants in this country want to work, but the government currently prevents them from doing so until their application is finalised, which takes up to two years at the taxpayers expense. I also think that if you are unemployed through choice (ie not incapacitated from working, or possibly as a single parent of a small child) then you should be given three chances to take work that is offered, be it cleaning, sweeping up etc etc or have your benefits cut off. I think the current system does far too little for the really needy and far too much for the lazy.
