Migration is hot button

In the UK, the Reform Party, a right of center political party and movement, has ascended the ladder of power due to a very poor and even thoughtless UK migration policy.
Migration drove a disastrous Brexit that has done nothing but force Britain into precipitous decline.
Migration may place Reform into Number 10 Downing Street. Albeit, the native British are developing a growing trust in Kemi Badenoch’s Conservative Party to get it right on migration. Badenoch may be the Leader to check the reform.
The British aristocrats living in splendid isolation in the majestic English countryside who never have to live with aliens could care less who is coming into the UK. In fact, those are black and brown peasants who help wipe their privileged butts when they are in the old age home.
On the other hand, Jack and Jill Average, who reside on the council estate in a London outskirts are horrified, especially when all of a sudden, their neighbourhood changes in a fundamental manner, with men praying in the park and unemployed
foreigners roaming about, hunting down young native English women for forced sex.
Consequently, Reform may win the next UK General Election in three years.
The Virgin Islands, too appears to have a very ambiguous migration culture. There are too many loopholes. The migration policy is visionless.
The irony is that in a community with vastly many more outsiders than natives, this country requires a strict migration policy.
However, policymakers bury their heads in the sand. Any observer can see there is a problem in the Virgin Islands with open migration.
I ask this question to the employers who delight in bringing in expatriate workers on the excuse that our children do not want to work. That is a very sad testimony.
To those adults who cannot see past their greedy stomachs. For whom are we building this blessed piece of paradise?
Our youth travel to the USA and elsewhere for education and work. When they are from one of the safest, and most prosperous and delightful countries in the world. They go to countries where there is racial abuse, forced into debt. They
return, behaving like zombies.
Aliens come here and capitalise. They can see through our stupidity. In 20 years, we will wake up and realise we exchanged a diamond for a pig. Please wake up: there is too much at stake. Quit the shortsightedness, which is where the UK went
wrong.

The reality is that this reluctance to confront issues directly—by both you and the government in the UK—has contributed to growing public frustration. Excessive tolerance fuels anti-immigration sentiment
The issue, is not immigration—it is immigration without assimilation. Many of the challenges seen in the UK stem from a failure to address that distinction.
What makes your position harder to reconcile is the shift when discussing the BVI, where you appear to take a more restrictive stance. That runs counter to your own argument in the UK context.
The reality is that most economies depend on migrant labor. Countries in the Middle East , Europe and Asia , US, Central and South America and Canada rely heavily on foreign workers. In the United States, we are already seeing the economic effects of tighter enforcement, with businesses quietly pushing back as labor shortages emerge.
That should be instructive: immigration is not optional—it is necessary. The real question is how it is managed.
It is also worth noting that many established business leaders in the BVI have roots outside the territory. For a small population, a blanket argument against immigration does not hold up—either economically or socially.
Balance is required, but that balance begins with acknowledging a simple fact: properly managed immigration is not a liability—it is an economic necessity.
Moreover, humans are social beings. People savor being in a community among families, friends, co-workers, congregation members, etc, savoring the quiet, use, and enjoyment of the history, heritage, culture, social activities, resources, etc., in their homelands. Why do people migrate and why is there pushback against their migrating?
People migrate out of necessity; they want to provide a better quality of life and standards of living for they and their families.However, migration often result in grievances, pushback . For example, immigrants are often accused of displacing locals of job opportunities. This is not totally true. It is not a universal law. Nonetheless, the truth is as the standards of living and quality of life in a community improves, locals, for the most part, decline to do some jobs that needs to be done. Who does the needed work?
Further, for a community to grow requires population growth. This growth typically results from birth rate , migration , etc. However , birth rates are down in many locales; this leaves migration. But migration leads to grievances, pushback, etc . The one child per family is a growing concerning issue in China; Japan too is having problems with declining population growth. Migration can contribute to the growth of a country, eg, Singapore, a small, resource-poor, approximately 270 square miles, brown dot in the China sea, but an economic power house with a six figure per capita income. At the birth of
Singapore, a former British colony, in 1965, its premier Lee Kuan Yew recruited the best and brightest from abroad.
Moreover, small locales cannot behave in the same manner in regards to migration as large developed countries, ie, US, Canada, UK, etc. Small locales must strike a delicate balance between the needs of the community and the rate of migration to prevent/minimize control the social friction between locals and immigrants. Avoiding/skirting the issue results in a metaphorical boil frog issue situation , ie, putting off an issue can result down the road in consequential and costly issues.
