Ever heard the expression what goes around comes around?. To me it is a case of the chickens coming home to roost.
I've said it before and I'll say it again,they should have heeded the advise of Enoch Powell,but he was labelled a racist,yet all he wanted to do was offer a practical solution to what is now a major problem.
Let's look at the cause of all this,going back to the days of the Empire,when the map of the world was coloured mainly pink and our forebears colonised and exploited these distant lands and when they had had their fill the handed the countries over to dictators and despots. Sadly only a small minority of the population benefitted from their colonial masters, consequently these people are in constant turmoil and as Commonwealth subjects they turn to the mother country,UK,for help. The days of the "Big white Queen Lady",sailing over big waters or flying in on "big silver bird" are gone,the government made a rod for it's own back in the '50s when it did that deal with West Indies after the world collapse of sugar prices;UK isn't the only colonial nation with the current experience,several European countries have the same problem and rightly or wrongly,deal with it in their own way.
Perhaps the answer is more investment in countries like Pakistan,both financial and social,not exploitation, and maybe it will stem the flow of immigrants to your already overcrowded shores. I see a time when Indian ex-pats will want to return home,to have their share of India's booming economy.
Remember that not all Muslims or Asians are terrorists,they just want to share the standard of living you enjoy, if not your culture,but if you treat them as less than human you are creating an opportunity for terrorism to flourish.
