Immigration, boon or a burden?

I am writing to expres my concern about an article from the 14th June article “Europe should see all newcomers as a boon not a burden”. Lately, thousands of foreigners persons are coming to Spain, some of them as a refugees, others as illegal immigrants and others as highly-qualified graduates and so on. It seems to me that it is necessary a quota system is neccesary in order to prevent racial segregation and safe guard the welfare state/system.

According to your/the article inmigration is a blessing. The first point I would like to make it clear is that the principle of freedom of movement is a human right, even more so if when you are fleeing a war, famine or political persecution. However the immigrant population is a vast cost on the state’s budget, moreover, it increases the rate of unemployment. For instance, in Spain six out of ten immigrants are out of work and therefore on the dole. (good use of the word)

Another argument to stem from the flow of immigrants is that we are suffering from over-population. For example, schools do not have sufficient places for the children and class sizes are becoming unmanageable, besides this, local services and jobs are suffering a bigger competition and this leads to social conflicts.

In conclusion, where I live we are not swamped with immigration, but something must be done in respect to  the current legislation and fulfilling minimum requirements such as language, cultural knowledge from the host country.

Very good Fernando, you have raised some good points. Regarding learning the language of the host country, I think this should be enforced. Many foreigners who come to live in the UK refuse to learn English and have no intention of integrating.

Immigration, boon or a burden

I am writing to express my concern about the article “Europe should see all newcomers as a boon not a burden” last June 14. Lately, thousands of foreigners have been coming to Spain, some of them as refugees, others as illegal aliens, although others as highly-qualified graduates and so on. It seems to me that a quota system is necessary in order to prevent racial segregation and secure the  state welfare.

(a welfare state here is the US is a kind of mockery used by people with rightist ideas; meaning a majority of population depending heavily on government's doling out of basic necessities [food,house, healthcare]

According to your article inmigration is a blessing. The first point I would like to be  clear is that the Principle of freedom of movement is a human right, even more so (if) when you are fleeing a war, famine or political persecution. However immigrant population is a vast (huge, expensive, costly) cost for the state’s budget, moreover, it increases the rate of unemployment. For instance, in Spain six out of ten immigrants are out of work and therefore on the dole. (also, you migh want to check usage of punctuation marks)

Another argument on why stemming the flow of immigrants is important is that,  we are suffering from over-population (or to be concise, you can simply start your sentence with "Overpopulation is the next important argument why stemming immigration is a necessity/priority/etc"). For example, schools do not have sufficient places for the children and class sizes are becoming unmanageable, besides this, local services and jobs are suffering  from a bigger competition and this leads to social conflicts.

In conclusion, I am not swamped (aversed, against) with immigration, but it must be done respecting the current legislation and fulfilling minimum requirements such as language and culture of the  the host country.
