  1. Same in the US. My Iraqi neighbors haven't paid a penny in rent in 8 years--all paid by a combination of private charity (which is often funded through government grants) and direct payments from the local and federal governments. The landlord loves the arrangement because he's guaranteed his rent from them no matter what (he has no idea how they're trashing the place, but he won't hear it from me--I complained once and got slapped down for it). Meanwhile, so much of my income goes to rent I have almost nothing left at the end of the month. They have five cars, including a Mercedes and a Maserati, and host big parties weekly (yes, even during Ramadan). Until 10 years ago, it was quite easy to find rental accommodation--there was always a surplus. Now, there's a permanent shortage. Many hotels in my area are booked indefinitely at 100% capacity because they're housing illegal immigrants. Conditions in the countries they fled from are so terrible that they go back there frequently. The Iraqi "refugees" next door go back to Iraq 3-4 times a year for a visit. They're only allowed to bring $10,000 cash into the country each trip, and they do, literally carrying back a bag of cash from their investments and properties in Iraq. The neighbors bitterly complain about how terrible the US is, but you'd have to blast them out of their sinecure with dynamite. They know a good thing when they see it. I started my first paid job at 16 years old and have worked and paid taxes all my life. New arrivals to my country get everything free indefinitely, it seems, without ever having paid into the system. Americans, famous for our patriotism, recently responded to a poll: A record low 38% of us said we were "extremely proud" to be American, down from 70% 20 years ago. Only 30% of Americans believe that hard work pays off in the "American Dream": work hard like I do and end up with nothing, hardly work like my immigrant neighbors and you win the lottery. I can't help feel that this is being deliberately done to Brits and Americans to thoroughly demoralize and displace us. Very well, let the ruling classes try to summon up their new immigrant friends to fight their wars for them. Those people won't lift a finger for a country they view as nothing but a vessel to be drained. And I, a military veteran, won't, either.

  2. My Iraqi neighbor has ten children by four different women with #11 and #12 on the way. He's the same age as me (sixty) and has over thirty grandchildren.
