"Madam President, the cause of homelessness, which is unmentionable by the silent conspiracy of liberal consensus, is immigration and asylum. Every person or family entering a country adds to the demand for housing by one. If there are homeless among the indigenous population, a house provided for a new arrival is a house denied to an existing resident. The decision-takers – MEPs, MPs, local councillors – are not among the homeless. Indeed, most of them cannot count any homeless among their circle of acquaintances. To them, the homeless are just statistics and not real people.
Decision-takers feel terribly generous for granting a home to a newcomer, but funnily enough they do not feel mean for denying one to an existing resident. We heard this morning from UKIP that it was opposed to mass immigration. However, its leader said recently ‘we want immigration, we welcome immigration’. In 2010, he said that the UK needed 250 000 every year."@en1
