This is a question that always seems to pop up in our society. Immigration has always been a touchy, yet important, topic and is one that plays a massive part in which political party we decide to elect.
So, are we full?
I can't answer this question - in fact I don't think anyone can truly say that we are 'full'. It's not like we have a limited number of seats and every seat is taken. We're a country, not a west end theatre. There isn't a guard counting how many people are coming in, or a digital board counting free spaces and shutting borders when we're full.
Why?
The problem is that those kind of procedures are near impossible to enforce. I'm not saying they are impossible. With the right funding and time a system for tracking the amount of people in the country, as well as 'free spaces' could certainly be created. However, the amount of time and money a system like this would actually take is immense. It just isn't viable - unless of course there was a way to profit from it.
Perhaps limiting the amount of people coming into the country would aid current citizens with getting jobs, housing, etc and build up the economy? To be quite honest, this does sound viable but then there's no evidence or reports that prove the economy would benefit (or if it would, by how much)
Maybe there is a different approach to sorting out our immigration problems. I don't have the first clue on how to solve the growing problem we have, but I do know that something must be done. What's the point in letting people in who have absolutely no intention of obeying our laws and mixing with society. By all means, people can follow whatever religion and/or belief they wish but it mustn't interfere with British morals or laws. If it does, they aren't welcome and should be refused immigration clearance.
There's a lot more to this argument than I can possibly discuss. Ultimately though, most arguments are a variation on one important point - the immigration epidemic needs to be sorted.
