Ms. Regan seems naive and totally incompetent.

"inmigrants do jobs which none of the locals want for lower salaries, they pay more taxes than the average locals, they promote microeconomics, create jobs and, overall, they are positive to Europe (which needs over 50 MILLION foreign workers in the next 25 years) to **cover up our social security systems**" This is false. You can reduce the need for immigrants to zero easily by increasing retirement age by a few years. Immigrants are such a diverse group that you can't meaningfully say they are a positive contribution to society. Unqualified immigrants end up on welfare to a far greater degree than qualified. Unqualified workers mostly come from the middle east and africa. This is simple fact and has nothing to do with racism or branding groups. "W/best wishes from Canary Islands (Spain, densely populated by British retirees who never paid a single penny of tax here and nobody criticizes)." This is just silly. Those are wealthy immigrants that massively increases local wealth by contributing their foreign currency. This phenomenon isn't even in the same ballpark as uneducated asylum seekers.

Your arguments belong to the European far right and, in many countries of the EU, you would get in serious legal trouble when **acussing whole groups of people** (students, spouses, family reunions, inmigrants in general) to be a sort criminals who cheat everone. You should read the Human Rights Chart. Also, you should read the many academic studies analyzing your fallacies: inmigrants do jobs which none of the locals want for lower salaries, they pay more taxes than the average locals, they promote microeconomics, create jobs and, overall, they are positive to Europe (which needs over 50 MILLION foreign workers in the next 25 years) to **cover up our social security systems**, pay your doctor and hospital biils, pensions, armies, etc. Finally, I am pretty sure you are not talking about the inmigrants living in South Kensington but on those who are considered "poor" by European standards who come to Europe to search for a job to feed their families (what the Britts did in so many countries during so many centuries). W/best wishes from Canary Islands (Spain, densely populated by British retirees who never paid a single penny of tax here and nobody criticizes). Gracias!
