Sometimes there's a perception that Jonny Foreigner is sucking the life out of the country, seems not. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-24813467
Country? What Country? Its now just a free for all in the EU to come as they please and milk you all dry.. I have no wish to go back and witness it. Makes me quite sad as I think back to my childhood years and the good ole days. IMO.
Yeah, you are right, too many asylum seekers, work shy job seekers and general benefit scroungers rely on my tax money to get along in life.... So "This" Johnny Foreigner is helping....
Some people with Filipina wives dont seem to look upon them as immigrants to the UK. But they will be the first to shout that their wives are making a contribution to the UK if they are working etc, when put under scrutiny from the authorities. My feeling is that although we would like to, we cant have it both ways. If immigrants from wherever they are from, be it the Philippines, India or Timbuctoo, it is surely good for the country if they are making a positive contribution. In the eyes of Joe Public, Filipinas dont get anymore dispensation than any other immigrant from outside the EU.
And probably far less from those within the EU even when they are married to a Brit with British kids!!
Additionally, I am not so certain that Joe Public in the UK differentiates between a Filipina on a spouse visa and a Filipino / Filipina on a student visa or any other visa.
Based on what my inlaws have commented, they aren't really fond of Eastern Europeans. I was waiting for their comment about Asians (East Asians in particular) but I guess they realized I was one!
Joe public in the R.P dont have that issue perception as foreigners in the Philippines have no rights! Philippines for Filipino`s!! I actually respect them for that....Believe it or not. I wish my nationality rights were as well protected in the UK.. I may never have left.
Some in the UK focus their dislike on those from the Indian sub continent alone. Others are not so discerning.
