is our homeland being handed to the immigrants?

in a daily newspaper today (18-3-09) it has been estimated the one in seven primary schoolchildren have a foreign language as their mother tongue.

this equates to about 566.000 children who cannot speak english-up 113.500 since 2004.

it is a tried and tested formula that if you wanted to take over a country you start with the children first-not elder and wiser people.

so is our homeland being eroded before our very eyes?.

    I've been saying this for years, but have always been shouted down as being racist, funny now how people are beginning to wise up and see this problem as the huge problem that it really is, now, I have no problem with immigrants as long as they have a legit and proper reason for being here, but thanks to Blair and his s*itty new labour partys policy of having an open door, we have allowed some very undesirable people in, some of them heavy criminals in their own country and are making a good start here continuing their careers. I have always been firm believer that all of this unregulated, uncontrolled immigration is a bad thing, letting all and sundry in, we don't need foreign labour that badly, we never did, what did they think was going to happen? Where did they think this was going? This statistic does not surprise me in the least, the immigrants who are not in the least interested in integrating with us are the ones who are teaching their kids to speak in their parents tongue, and I think that this country is on a fast downward spiral toward surrendering itself to the immigrants and we will become the ethnic minority, especially if we keep with the leftist, socialist, politically correct politics we have been subjected to during New Labour's tenure, and all the 'do-gooders' with the power to shut people up and continue to foist their views upon us, I always remember a newspaper story printed in the Glasgow Herald once, and I think it sums up perfectly the politics of New Labour, the headline read; More Immigrants? Yes Please!. I think not!

    Yes it is, the english which meet the UN criteria for an indigenous ethnic group, are in danger of becoming a displaced people, 20% of under 16s are from ethnic minorities. Japan and South korea are ethnically homogeneous, India pretty much restricts immigration to indian people from other countries, you can never become a full citizen of saudi arabia unless you are a muslim and an arab.Only in some western countries where the general consensus is that a country is just a giant factory, is mass migration where people are allowed to settle permanently permitted, in other parts of the world what is happening here would be considered to be colonisation/ethnocide. And much of the public have been brainwashed into accepting this by the pc brigade.

    The politicians from the mainstream parties will do nothing to stop this trend, as they are only interested in their paymasters from the business community, and the minority vote.Only the BNP stand in opposition to what is happening to this country.

    I fully agree with the questioner.Britain is literally being handed over to the immigrants.

    These 'do goodies' hide behind the mask that in times of economic crisis it is the immigrants that get all the blame!

    The question I humbly ask is;Have those very people and this includes Labour politicians ever been laid off work and had to worry about how to find the money to clothe,feed their families and find the mortgage to keep a roof over their heads?

    As a former Labour Party member of 50 years I can say that allowing immigrants unrestricted entry is a deliberate labour policy of the Labour Party;Why?So that they can use it as a tool to depress wages.

    What we are witnessing is a well thought out Labour plan where they have implemented a policy of 50 men and women chasing one job.

    Surely that is not the Labour Party I used to know!

    What makes it worse for me;The Trades Unions have stood idly by and let it happen instead of fighting for the down trodden British worker.

    Another question I ask is;If this so called Labour Party want to extradite the British worker to other countries and replace them with immigrants;Why don't they come out into the open and say so?

    I saw the news and was thinking of asking a similar question, Enoch was RIGHT, we are mad and there is such a thing as collective madness.

    We ("We " being small numbers of European people who came to our island over a 2000 year period") spent 2000 years making this once Great Britain the best country on Earth only to see immigration from the Asian sub Continent , Africa and distant parts of E Europe swamp and overpopulate our old Island.

    I have always been a moderate Labour member, now I am beginning to think that we need the help of a tough real British party to defend us against the collective madness of mass immigration. UKIP seems best to me but all parties who represent the real Brits must unite or we are finished

    Every one seems very fond of mentioning how Enoch Powell was right, and we should have listened. Well the British national party are shouting too, and people are doing the same thing, ignoring them and hoping the problem will go away....WELL IT WONT. There is an election next year. And frankly the British national party really is the only party unafraid to deal with it. Save your country. Save your children's future. Don't hand them Islam.....Give the British national party your vote.

    All you can do is vote, but this problem should have been dealt with in the 60's. It is too late now.

    LOL!....NO! so you can relax now. Infact! teaching children a second lanuage if very good for them......well, unless you don't believe in giving them a better chance to succeed in life. If they don't know English right now....don't worry! they'll learn over time.

    Children who have been exposed to a foreign language at an early age, often learn to read faster and with greater ease because they are able to recognize the relationship between letters and their sounds without the help of visual objects. Exposure to a second language clearly benefits children’s reading abilities.

    (American Psychological Association)

    Children who learn a second language typically have better problem solving abilities, better reasoning skills, and are more creative.

    (ERIC Clearinghouse on Languages & Linguistics)

    Children with bilingual skills outperform similar monolingual children on both verbal and non-verbal tests of intelligence and typically, have higher SAT or standardized test scores.

    yes it seems that way, i even know of primary school teachers who are learning foreign languages so they can speak to the kids, this just is not right if they cant speak english they should not be disrupting the schools. we all have got to take action and send them back if they are not prepared to integrate

    It is and there is probably now nothing that can be done about it. Enoch Powell warned about this 50 years ago but was ridiculed. He also warned that it may lead to 'rivers of blood' if immigration remained unchecked.
