And so what? The refugees have not brought anything to the table but more strain on the system. Nobody can really say it on TV but that's what it is mostly about. The EU is straining the UK's welfare and housing system by dumping loads of these people who have no education and no skills.

"No education and no skills", you act like these types of people don't have a place in the global economy. We in the U.S. have been having this same argument with immigration from Mexico from people who are fleeing violence. Who cares if they are unskilled or uneducated? You're acting like because they are unskilled workers they have no value in society. In America, our economy depends on a large workforce of unskilled workers to do the jobs that U.S. born citizens wont. Alabama tried banning illegal immigrant labour (Alabama HB 56), and it was almost universally considered an epic failure as "Industries dependent on migrant labor have been strongly impacted. Farmers have found that Americans are not willing to work under such harsh working conditions for low pay.[15] Some businesses in other industries have lost workers, including legal workers, as a result of the new immigration law.[16]"

Also, can you please explain further how the EU is straining the UK's welfare and housing system through accepting refugees? From what I'm reading, the UK has only accepted 1000 refugees, which should barely have an effect on the NHS or housing... If you have statistics to back up your claim I'm more than eager to read them.

Also its worth noting that only 1% of the average brit's taxes go to the EU. Another reason why I think people are blowing this whole thing out of proportion.

I'm not saying that they have no place in the economy, I'm just saying that there is a limit, because at this point, only a handful of EU countries are being FLOODED with unskilled labour. I admit I did not know the actual statistics of UK's acceptance.
