The case against uncontrolled migration - 1

Recently the House of Lords Committee produced a report on the benefits of uncontrolled migration that blossomed under Labour rule. In fact, it couldn't find substantial benefits to the economy of the UK and assessed the overall impact of net migration as close to zero in long-term perspective. Such conclusions make Government's argument in favour of migration weaker than ever for it was primary Labour assertion that migration ostensibly brings "enormous" benefit to country's economy. When this way of reasoning is shown to be entirely false and based on rigged in favour of Government statistics, voices of critics of Labour strategy - or lack of any - gain strength.
Why? Because migration puts a considerable strain on our welfare state, on housing market, on NHS, on other public services. Words, coming from ministers who lament "shortfall" in workforce in the UK and praise hard-working migrants taking over jobs where "nobody wants to work", are utterly preposterous. We have here in this country one and a half unemployed "on training schemes" and about three million on incapacity benefit - and still Government needs foreign workers to fill gaps on job market? Why Labour don't want to make easier for unemployed people to find the job rather than inviting migrants and doping unemployed with welfare benefits? Taking into account a looming financial crisis, the situation now begs the question of why Labour did not do their utmost to empower unemployed people with jobs and not risk our stretched public services (leaving aside community cohesion). Labour showed a great incompetence and mismanagement dealing with economy as if they thought it was going to boom forever. Moreover, as government was (and is) promoting multiculturalism and such hospitality to new "British" workers as even translating in their native languages various documents (seemingly forgetting that only official language here is English language), it makes one wonder if it was a special kind of malignant strategy aimed at making this country fully cosmopolitan (i.e., uprooting national identity) and boosting the economy (and number of Labour voters) with arriving foreign people.
Where did this strategy lead us after ten years of Labour in power, we can see now.
Our economy has serious problems, our public services are over-stretched and the worst of all - the sense of community is badly damaged. This rather socio-cultural than economical phenomenon makes argument against migration so sound. And I will explore it in details over the next couple of days.
