The truth about immigration is that almost everyone has family associations with persons that immigrated at some time in the past 300 years.
A second thing to think about concerning immigration in England might be seen on the composition of the workforce in the city. I had persons from all over Europe North Africa the Middle-east, India, Pakistan, the US and Canada on my team. We didn't have any more difficulties employing EU aliens than Brits. Why should it be more difficult for a Spaniard after Brexit than it was for a Lebanese or American now?
Thirdly, the manual labour an Irish friend employed in construction was almost always Eastern European. He said they were invariably the ones that he kept on after working with them for a while. But when the market collapsed the number of unemployed labor exploded. Countries like Germany that had not let in the menial laborers from the new EU members did not have this problem. So, while unrest against these immigrants evolved in England, it didn't in Germany.
Did you ever venture to a Northern industrial town?

I think the headline should of read: 'one truth of immigration'.
In GB? I must admit, I did not other than for flying classes. But the numbers there have been bad for a long time. Had they improved at any time? I had always thought of them as structurally similar to the Ruhr area.
It's about time that we had some truth in the Europe forum.
