Zeus 08/04/17 1:58:58 AM #36:	Renzokukenexe posted... Absolutely wish the UK would do this. Everyone goes on about how our health service essentially runs on immigrants. I just graduated with a first class degree in biomedical science from a good university and can't get a job as a biomedical scientist because the field is horrendously oversaturated by immigrants who can essentially skip the hardest parts of state registration. The entire field won't take on uk graduates because they know if they select foreign candidates they won't have to take the time and money to train them for state registration. I've literally just watched myself and a class of 90 other graduates, leave a STEM degree with £30,000+ of debt and no job prospects in the field thanks to uncontrolled immigration. Which is a massive problem in the US as well. adjl posted... Veedrock- posted... I feel like I'm missing some kind of significant context here if this is supposed to be a supportive argument. Seriously, a half percent over 13 years? It's not particularly significant, but it is a positive number. 0% would have supported the argument I'm guessing the passage is making (which is that the notion that immigration results in lower wages for natives). 0.5% is even better, even if it's not significant enough to be a pro-immigration argument. Just to shut down a common anti-immigration one. Plus it's a sketchy claim in general that, at best, has a correlation rather than a causation. knivesX2004 posted... Zeus posted... I must have missed the Spanish version of the ACA, Patriot Act, etc. Probably because you didn't ask for it. I'm not arguing that NOT speaking English in America is good, or whatever, I'm just saying there's no Official Language. Would knowing English give you a leg up? Absolutely but it's not an official language and it's not mandatory. Trump can barely form complete sentences in English and he's President. And I'm just saying, official or not, they should speak the language. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:884156277] in New propos...
