Immigration Quotes - For and Against
Immigration is the hot topic at the moment, as it has been over the past few years, and there is every reason to believe that it will continue to be a controversial issue with people giving good arguments on both sides.
Quotes
I will divide this into three sections, quotes "For Immigration", "Against Immigration" and "Funny". I will only give the quotes I find interesting, or which I think embodies an argument which people often put forward.
In no way is this a comprehensive list - there are just eight quotes in all.

So, what do you think?
