Closed We need to close our borders

Closed on

Seven in 10 Britons believe there are too many immigrants in the country, an Ipsos Mori poll showed.

Three in four agreed that immigration has placed too much pressure on public services while three in five agreed that it had made it harder for Britons to get jobs.

Just one in four thought immigration had been good for the economy.

Its time for this country to close its borders until such a time thats suitable for reopening them again.
