The Victorian roots of a very British ambivalence to immigration
Immigrants should be welcomed on a simple set of criteria:
1) will they benefit to the country, economically and socially
2) will they accept British cultural values (equality of the sexes, rule of law, fair play, etc.)
The tests are then simple:
1) What work will they do?
2) What efforts have they made and will they make to adapt to our culture (learning our language, adopting our dress, etc.)
