Immigration to the UK

I am at a loss to understand people who come to my country as immigrants.

When they first arrive on our shores they appear to accept any laws or traditions or cultures which are in existence. After several years residence and an increase in the their numbers they ask us to accept their way of religion, dress and way of life from their country of origin. Requests!!

As time passes these requests turn into demands.

EXCUSE ME!!

Aren't you newcomers to our shores suppose to be integrating into our society. Practice your religion, by all means, show us your culture, by all means but please do not try to inflict on us the way of life of your original country from which you ran away from.

THIS IS MY COUNTRY!! YOU ASKED ME PERMISSION TO RESIDE HERE, MAYBE FOR REASONS OF SANCTUARY OR AN IMPROVEMENT OF YOUR LIFE.

I welcome you to my country to join me, to become fellow citizens and brothers but I do not welcome those who wish to change my country or its way of life.

INTEGRATE, INTEGRATE, INTEGRATE!

If you feel our ways are obnoxious and unacceptable please feel free to return to your country of origin, maybe oil and water cannot mix but I can still be your friend.

I'M WITH YOU ON THIS ONE. SAME THING HAPPENING OVER HERE, ESPECIALLY IN THE CITIES. NOT TOO BAD IN REGIONAL AREAS COS THERE'S NOT TOO MANY IN THOSE AREAS. I HAVE FRIENDS OF ALL FAITHS AND RACES AND WELCOME THEM ALL BUT PLEASE, DONT TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD BELIEVE. EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN BELIEF SYSTEM AND THEIR ENTITLED TO IT WITHOUT OTHERS TRYING TO INSTILL THEIRS ON THEM. AS I SAID, I'M WITH YOU. CHEERS. REVBAB
