Is it not very noticeable that those calling longest and loudest for more immigration are themselves from immigrant communities?
Everyone from Liam Halligan to Daniel Trilling to Hugh Muir to Yasmin Alibhai-Brown et al appears to be either from the Irish immigrant community or the Jewish immigrant community or the West Indian immigrant community or the Asian immigrant community etc.
Does this not suggest that the incessant call for ever greater numbers of immigrants has less to do with spurious economic arguments and more to do with their own personal hang-ups and paranoia?
Do they perhaps subconsciously fear the society their families (perhaps several generations ago) took them to? Is it possible they are confused about their identity and crave reassurance that they are not alone? Are we witnessing from this pro-immigration claque a milder version (I stress the word mild) of the antipathy towards British society expressed by the "home grown" Seven-Seven insurgents (or indeed hundreds of "home grown" Irish in mainland Britain who aided the Northern Ireland insurgency)?
Latest in this wave of silliness is this Mehdi Hasan piece for the Huffington Post (yet again, zero mention of democratic consent for migration): http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/mehdi-hasan/immigration-britain_b_3633860.html
Immigrants would get on better in the United Kingdom if they attempted to fit into British society rather than this endless insistence that society fits in with them.
