… he is someone whose writings are taken seriously by powerful men on both sides of the Atlantic, and who is no doubt on first-name terms with many of them. Today, in the Daily Telegraph, he offered them his view on How to make immigration work in Britain’s interests. I won’t bore you with the details. He is, as a man of the Establishment, concerned that “hostility to migrants is sweeping Europe”. He has a plan. “Britain can do little to reduce the flow of immigrants” from the EU, he says. “Immigrants possess skills that are in short supply here, and add billions of pounds to national output,” he says. But the losers who see their job prospects taken away by immigration and their neighbourhoods transformed could be paid off. “How so?, he says … “By requiring employers to bid for the limited number of entry permits, the proceeds to be remitted to the communities on which the immigrant imposes costs, or to HM Treasury.” He says.
No doubt, “powerful men” will read the column, welcome Stelzer’s little scheme (with reservations, of course), and file it away for some opportune moment when the minister is in melt-down and the briefing paper for tomorrow’s Cabinet is still to be written. But what of those damned losers in the migration game? The indigenous, as they seem to be calling themselves these days. Are they grateful for Mr Stelzer’s ingenuity? Are their fears and hostility calmed? Are they looking forward to selling-out to race-replacement for a few thousand quid?
Well, I’ve never seen a thread like this one in any English national daily. Never.

“Britain can do little to reduce the flow of immigrants from the other 26 EU member states”
Well there is – we can leave that disaster of an undemocratic entity, and be a free nation again. We could possibly have writers on the DT that don’t deliberately try to flood our small island with countless 3rd worlders…..Imagine that?
Anyway, how’s Israels immigration policy coming along Mr “I don;t care about Britain” Stelzer? You utter utter c£nt

“We could possibly have writers on the DT that don’t deliberately try to flood our small island with countless 3rd worlders…..Imagine that?”
That’s why i despise them.
They choose to take their 20 pieces of silver and destroy any future for their own children. Disgusting traitors.

We’ve got Brogan on another blog trying to tell us that we ‘must now learn to trust our MPs’
Bunch of cumts!
dougie
It’s not his country though is it? As far as he’s concerned we’re just goy.
james1
I didn’t even bother to read the article. He’s got a nerve writing about it though, then again, every johnny foreigner thinks they can stick their oar in about Britain nowadays don’t they.
Politicians, journalists, bankers. All one and the same.
james1
Ever felt like you been rumbled Mr Selzer?
The BS, it just don’t work no more, like it used to.
Can’t wait for the next instalment of ‘Telegraph View’ on immigration lol
Oh dear, what now eh.
james1
So when is Israel going to open the floodgates to the world Mr Selzer?
After seeing what a resounding success mass immigration is in Western Europe, surely you want some of your own enrichment no?

Irwin says “From France (deport Romas), to Germany (preserve national identity), to Sweden (xenophobes win seats), to the Netherlands (no more burqas), an anti-immigration tide is sweeping across Europe.”
How can anyone take this man seriously? ‘No more burqas’ is an anti-immigration stance, is it? But aren’t the ones with the burqas they want to ban already here? Swedish nationalists are ‘xenophobes’ are they? Wanting to stop immigration means you fear foreigners, does it? You cynically confuse and conflate issues and use far-left smear tactics even as roll out your oh-so-reasonable rhetoric.
Americans sell work permits for $10,000, says Seltzer. We should do the same, presumably. Of course once these ‘workers’ are here they are not just workers but fully-fledged Britons, and I am expected to regard them as every bit as British as me, to treat them as my own kin. So Irwin has put a price on my ethnic identity, and this price is whatever $10,000 is in Sterling at current exchange rates. No deal, Mr Seltzer.

It would be easier to take Irwin Stelzer more seriously if he started advocating non Jewish immigration to Israel. But no. It’s only white countries such people think need “diversifying”.
Steffiegirl
I wonder if the government reads or knows about the comments from the general public and how we all feel – it doesn’t seem so.
tommo2
They do. I’ve written to my MP many times on the immigration issue. He responds with the mantra that immigration is good for the country. What do we have to do to get the message across – blow-up parliament?
henrietta
The thing of it is, *they don’t care*. They don’t care what ordinary people think, and they don’t seem to care much about British culture or the quality of life of people who live in Britain. The only way forward is to make them care, but it isn’t clear how.
proleishplumber
When Irwin Seltzer talks of ‘our’ interests, who is he referring to? I am not Jewish, I am a white-Anglo Saxon Protestant.
Clearly, this is an outrageous thing to say, isn’t it? How awful of a white man to think he could have his own racial or ethnic interests that diverge from that of the Jews, or other groups! Jews, of course, along with all non-white European Christian groups, are permitted to have their own ethnic, religious and racial interests.
I am not interested in ‘sensible curbs’ which are nothing more than a bone being thrown by our masters during hard times, with the intention of gearing our race-replacement back up to current genocidal levels as soon as economic conditions allow.
What I want, Mr Seltzer, Mr Miliband, Mr Soros, Mr Saatchi, is for all non-white immigration to be ended completely, and for me and my people to be allowed to pursue our own racial and genetic interests regardless of what you may think.

Brave comment. Interesting that throughout the world indigenous peoples – Maori, Aborigine, Red Indians etc – are revered but in Europe the indigenous are threatened with race laws if they assert themselves ; in England the flag removed from public places and equated with fascism. We let this happen.
thelennoxman
Good comment proleishplumber. Keep saying it as it is, we need more people like yourself on these blogs, to keep hammering the message home.
Seeing as a lot of them on here, still thinks Cameron is a Conservative and labour stands for the working man? You can see why the country is going to the dogs.

As an American, with all of our free speech rights, I could not post what you have posted for fear of forever being branded “racist.” A post like this could and would cost me my job. Believe it. That’s what it has come to here in the US. The blacks, Mexicans, Asians, Muslims can say and do as they please but us, nope.
Axl Rose of Guns and Roses hit the nail on the head with his lyric from One in A Million:
“Immigrants and faggots, they make no sense to me. They come to our country and think they’ll do as they please. Like start some mini Iran or spread some F-ing disease. They talk so many G-damn ways, it’s all Greek to me.

Who actually wants integration with muslims if that means we become like them?
What if it means we actually become them?
What if integration means that we become a coffee-coloured mass of muslims?
No ta.

I admire the British, it’s a shame you are being forced to become intolerant.
jose_maria
Intolerance? No, we object to their presence not their existence.

There is but ONE reason why mass immigration is such a big problem in the West, and that is immigrants, like Irwin Stelzer, have been allowed to influence immigration policy.

Name 10 benefits from immigration – 300 spoken languages and new and varied foods do not count.
europeansocialist
1) Learning from other cultures – increase in cultural diversity.
2) Higher net tax take overall paying for aging native population.
3) Demonstrates Britain’s appeal – today the UK confirmed as 4th
most admired nation.
4) No more grey boring and stale egg ‘n’ chips Britain thank God.
5) Physical embodiment of mixed couples and children, best of
both worlds.
6) A younger, more dynamic workforce. Brits do not want to pick
vegetables at 6am but immigrants do and will.
7) Skilled workers in vital sectors esp. NHS.
8) Sporting and musical contribution of immigrants and their
descendents.
9) Shapes country in new and improved image – see USA.
10) Flushes out bigots/little Englanders and exposes them for
what they are, i.e. fundamentally un-British.
jose_maria
1) Can be done via the internet.
2) After beenfits have been included, unlikely.
3) Thanks, they can come on holiday and then go home.
4) Cookery courses available at all tertiary colleges…
5) … is called genocide, and reflects your true agenda.
6) Not at poverty rates of pay they don’t. So let the market adjust…
7) What, like that ‘German’ doctor who administered a fatal od to his patient? http://www.cambstimes.co.uk/news/german_doctor_struck_off_in_uk_for_killing_fenland_man_with_morphine_overdose_1_464604 I wonder how the family is feeling…
8) You call that music? And nil-nil with Montenegro…
9) Yes, this is called cultural genocide and ethnic cleansing.
10) The real bigots are the social engineers like you.
dickgreendoxon
There has been very little coverage of this government’s (Theresa May) decision to grant amnesty to 135,000 failed asylum seekers, who have been granted permanent residence in the UK….solely to clear the backlog! Including dependants, this amounts to about a quarter of a million people.
Whilst some of them may now be able to work (assuming they can find a job…..May’s timing is astonishing), they will also be able to claim the full range of benefits.The potential lifetime cost to the taxpayer of a single unemployed asylum seeker, wife and two kids is about £1 million…….compared to the £5/day they currently receive in basic state support.
“Immigrants possess skills that are in short supply here, and add billions of pounds to national output.” No, Mr Stelzer…….some immigrants do, far too many do not. We have too few of the first category, and far too many of the second. And, frankly, I find it astonishing that an American lectures us on this…..the average American citizen is pissed off with mass immigration, with people flooding into an economy which is no longer creating jobs, but haemorrhaging them. Just like here.

Hear hear dear, as someone with relatives in Indiana, Irwin would be lucky to escape with his life if he gave this little address outside a welfare center.
grahammilne
There are too many of them
They aren’t integrating and have no intention of doing so
They are a drain on our welfare system and take our jobs
They are outbreeding us to the extent that we will be a minority in our own country in a few decades
The survivial of our country is at stake
So without any racism on our part they must go
Any other nation would be justified in doing the same
ameliemaryann
For starters, we will be a minority in Leicester next year – 2011.

It really comes down to who Britain belongs to.
Does it belong to the corrupt socialists who have sold it out for profit and pure self interest?
Does it belong to big business who just see a potential profit in cheap labour?
Or does it belong to us, the native people of Britain?
I suggest it belongs to us – the indigneous people of Britain and the only -people who should have a say in immigration is us – those who own this homeland!
The whole issue of immigration should be subject to a referendum where the people can vote on it.
I for one will vote against any and all immigration. I don’t have to justify or apologise for who I have in my home.
In Britain only the British are relevant.
archipoeta
Please don’t lump together immigrants from Eastern Europe who are literate and, if not actually Christian, don’t subscribe to a belief system that wants to impose its values on the host nation, and those from the Third world, who are in many cases sub/illiterate and wish to impose Islam on the rest of us.
uberwest
Why not? Do the Poles or Romanians care any more that they are taking jobs from British workers and / or forcing wages down for the jobs they do?
No they don’t.
But this is another negative aspect of an unfettered immigration policy, it’s creating hostility to people who otherwise we wouldn’t have any reason to be hostile to. But it’s important to remember who’s to blame – the politicians.
jabjabhook
Personally, I endorse every sentiment expressed.
Civil uprising is needed immediately.
We are going to have to start filling our prisons with the middle classes before our politicians will listen.
We can all break a window for England if it is the right window.
The local bank might be a good place to start.
Register your protest now.
