Immigrants in Britain (© 2008 Eileen Baker)
Contemporary Life
Immigrants in Britain: a statement.
Well, they have no right here have they?
They are taking our jobs, our social security, our houses, our schools, our communities.
They cause us all the problems of a country which is too full: crime, lack of resources.
If they were not here, we wouldn't have so many problems. They are to blame.
A Reflection on this.
Well, the thing is that we are not seeing clearly.
We are looking for someone to blame for the hurt and anger inside of us, inside you, inside me.
The hurt and the anger inside comes from our prejudices, our conditioning.
Therefore, we cannot see clearly. We cannot understand.
People will move, migrate to another place if they believe that they can achieve a better quality of life for themselves and for their families as would you and I.
They are merely seeking to improve their lot. So are you and I.
