A lot of African countries are averaging 5 or 6 children born per woman compared with under 2 in the likes of the UK and other western countries. One way or another people from those countries with high birth rates but poor economies and opportunities are going to make their way into countries like ours over time. I actually agree that we should train as many of our own people as possible but I'm also a realist. Like I said, the government like the cheap labour as it's ultimately good for the economy. Without the immigrant labour the farmer doesn't run his fruit business and without that business the government get less tax. In an ideal world the farmer would make the financial package lucrative enough so that British people will take the jobs but that's just not going to happen unfortunately so the government will just continue to allow immigration nevermind what they actually say about it.
