I did'nt know the ratios had already been set. It's the NIMBY mentality again, all are welcome as long as it's not near me. I'm not totally convinced it's based on rental prices either. Ipswich is
one of the more expensive places to rent in East Anglia but has a massive immigrant population (compared to other local towns/cities).

I just think that that's how it's going to be. A numbers game that we won't be able to resist.

But you said we WILL, not that's what you think and I was just wondering what that was based on.
Now you have changed to I think, you may, or may not be right.

And so as Trump and Bolton build towards military action in Syria and word has it that UK and France will be asked to join in - are we ready to increase our commitments on resettling Syrian refugees. 11,000 resettled out of our 20,000 commitment is good though not spectacular progress. Looking forward to the Daily Mail take on any proposed increase.

SILH, am all for taking in refugees but how many like the minors ( 18 and under ) that were actually adults will we be taking in. If it is done correctly and out of those 11,000, 11,000 are genuine then it's fine BT me.

I'm with you on this.
The issues need to be managed.
There are large costs associated with a diverse workforce. Managing a multilingual staff base is complex and many companies with a significant number of foreign employees are now just recruiting from the majority language. (I'm talking about the real-world not the idealised PC environment of the Race Commission). Consequently in agriculture, the building trade, warehousing etc its common for a manager to be appointed that represent the majority (linguistically). I have seen numerous adverts written in Polish which obviously and unsurprisingly attracts Poles.
Such selective practises activities breeds discontent. So while in humanitarian terms we should do what we can the process needs to address the pragmatic on-the-ground consequences.

The 20,000 did not actually include our commitment to resettling 3,000 children from the region - though I do wonder why a very small minority 'over-age' coming in under the 'Children' programme would be that much of a concern when we are taking 20,000 - and possibly even more - under the main programme. The sort of numbers 'playing ' the children programme shouldn't make that much of a difference as long as we remain aware that some are trying it on and filter them out - which by and large is what has been happening.
And so it seems like we'll be happy to resettle more genuine Syrian refugees if we get involved with the US in possible military action? which IMO would be the right hing to do.
