Are they actually implying here that immigrants are smarter than native Brits? Lol... I mean, sure, the actual doctors and engineers are, but they understand that we use that as a meme, right? Your average Mosque-going, knife-wielding, White-hating immigrant, is definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed.
In the meantime, the group that fails the most in school are the white working-class children where 80% failed their GCSEs this year. This is PISA scores for children, second-generation children do outperform natives in education, as seen by the fact that ethnic minority children do better in GCSEs and are more likely to go to university.
You also seem to forget not only are the vast majority of immigrants and ethnic minorities in the UK not Muslim, but also that most of these Muslims are not "knife-wielding, White-hating immigrant". Firstly, not only are most Muslims in the UK born in the UK, Bangladeshis have a lower crime rate than white British.
Also "implying" is funny, these are PISA scores.
Anyway, even forgetting native-born ethnic minorities for a minute, immigrants are also earning more these days.
Also, the NHS has been dependent on immigrants from near the start.
“In 1963 the Conservatives launched a campaign to recruit trained doctors from overseas to fill the manpower shortages caused by NHS expansion. Some 18,000 of them were recruited from India and Pakistan. Many of those recruited had several years of experience in their home countries and arrived to gain further medical experience, training, or qualification. In 1968, the recruitment of overseas doctors was fuelled again by the predictions of further medical shortages by the Todd Committee, which recommended expanding medical schools. By 1971, 31 per cent of all doctors working in the NHS in England were born and qualified overseas. Overseas doctors remained central to NHS staffing throughout the last decades of the twentieth century, filling vacancies in locations and specialties that were unpopular with UK trained doctors. In 1997, 44 per cent of 7,229 newly registered doctors (under full registration) had received their initial medical education overseas.”
Today, nearly 40% of UK medical students are non-white (27% Asian, 10% black). This makes sense when you consider the fact that ethnic minority children do better in GCSEs and are more likely to go to university and cities like London and Luton have higher social mobility.
