Why are most immigrants to the UK from 3rd world countries?

Question

Government statistics say so

http://www.migrationwatch.org/

Answer 1

Because the UK, once in the country is one of the easiest in the world to get free hand outs from the idiotic goverment in power...

The current goverment is quick to give houses, and finacial handouts to the immigrants, but does nothing for its own citizens and if anything penalises them for being a citizen...

Jerermy Clarkson for PM...!!!

Answer 2

Many people from third world countries are very poor, are  often poorly educated and have few skills. Because we have the best and softest welfare system in the world and are very accommodating to those who arrive here, where better for them to come? Would most of us not do the same given their circumstances? I personally do not blame them, I blame our corrupt and ineffectual EU puppets who have failed to instigate a sensible immigration policy.  .

Answer 3

pretty obvious really because the 3rd world is poor and they can have a better life here......

Answer 4

Because they've destroyed their own countries, and yours offers new oppurtunities to destroy something new.

Yeah... we have the same problem in the US....

Answer 5

"Many people from third world countries are very poor, are often poorly educated and have few skills. Because we have the best and softest welfare system in the world and are very accommodating to those who arrive here, where better for them to come? "

Really? How man  professionals working in the NHS: doctors, nurses, microbiologists, radiographers are from the 3rd world?

I have met many highly qualified people from the 3rd world working in ther public and private sector.

As for welfare, why would you spend thousands of pounds to live in England just to sign on for 56 quid a week?

Answer 6

because it's one of the best developed countries in europe which is closer to asia than america

so some from asian third world countries might migrate into the UK

oh and John S shut up about the weather here no point if you are going to answer just to insult the UK >:(

it's sunny quite a lot in the summer, but it does rain a lot too, its good to have a mix so be quiet

Answer 7

As it is a fact by any measure in use at the moment.

Answer 8

Um....maybe because they're counties are so poor and we have more opportunities???! Why do you think they want to be here - the weather?

Answer 9

It's because they can have a better quality of life in Britain. Also our government are soft touches and leave the door open for them. And once they are in they hand out our taxes and give them homes.

Answer 10

they come from 3rd world countries to escape war, work and send money home. they come for work because in 3rd world countries the pay rates are really low and in UK there are decent pay rates and so on

Answer 11

Well I am wondering too - but maybe because of the fact that comparing to Continental European countries your country looks like a thrid world country, too. How else  can you explain that you gotta wait hours at a NHS dentist ? Or is there a specific reason to get drunk straight from thursday until sunday....

Answer 12

well... the same is the case for us in Canada, the US and other open immigration countries.  Who in a nice, well-developed G-8 country with a nice life would tear it all up and move to some third world craphole aisde from humanitarians.

BTW; 4/5 of the world is brown... by 2100 whites will be rare like albinos.  Im white and faced that fact long ago

Answer 13

Because you have to be pretty desperate to move to Britain. Do you people ever see the sun?

Answer 14

Because we love the weather.

And we are not all 'poorly educated'. In fact some are more educated than you.
