Filed in archive Europe on October 19, 2007

A closer look reveals how immigration benefits outweigh costs to the United Kingdom.

Although immigration impacts jobs, health, housing and the economy, the benefits are still greater. For example, tax revenue increased as there were more people paying taxes. More jobs were created. crime rate statistics show no increase due to immigration. In other areas, the negative impact was more tangible. Immigration has impacted a housing shortage and rent costs. And the national health system workload increased.
