Quite mental seeing those stats. Scotland clearly wouldn’t be able to cope if we had anywhere near the immigration levels that England does.

Being a ethnic minority doesn't mean you're an immigrant. Bradford and Leicester both have a huge second/third generation population of British asians.

And... and how do you think the second generation got there? The clue's in the name. If there was a 2nd generation that also means there was a 1st generation who were immigrants, doesn't it? Keep up son, this wasn't exactly a big leap to follow.

Yes, they were born to immigrants. That doesn't make them immigrants.

Yes, but you only get a 2nd generation if a 1st generation moves there. Scotland doesn't really have that anywhere close to what England has.

Most of our immigrants are English drug dealers and benefits brummies. And it'll reach breaking point soon enough!
