The "problem" in modern times is being made easier for the migrants by ease of communication and transport coupled with the lack of violence in the countries through which they're travelling plus open borders.

 

Whilst you can't help feeling sorry for their situation, it hardly seems fair that they see a way of life which, to them, appears much easier than where they originate so decide they want a slice of the action too so go all out to get there and claim all they can. It can't go on for ever, there has to be a limit if not an end to it.

 

All too often, the originating countries seem to be places where they breed like rabbits and live in squalour, often making no attempt to make simple improvements to their infrastructure.

 

They should stay in their own country and effect changes there before taking their troubles to other countries where they make little effort to learn the language or adopt the way of life and customs.

 

Some immigrants to this country have learned a full vocabulary with excellent language skills, adopting along the way a "British way of life". Sadly, there are many who live in a virtual ghetto and watching and listening, you'd think you were in some third world country, not Britain. What did they come here for?

What's unfair about that?

What is unfair is that some of us are lucky enough to be born in an area that has an established infrastructure and others aren't.

People move to parts of the world where there is employment - always have, always will.
