MOLDOVAN residents have applied for citizenship in Romania, hoping of joining a mass exodus to the UK when Romania joins the EU next year.

Macedonians are also expected to apply for Bulgarian nationality to join the flood of up to 80,000 to the UK.

When is somebody from the main political parties going to get up in parliament and say enough is enough?

Complete immigration should cease now. We are a small island, not a vast open continent; the population is now 60 million.

It is no use politicians huffing and puffing about this subject; action needs to be taken now. Drastic action.

The infrastructure of this country has fallen apart - we cannot keep immigrants coming into the country.

Failed asylum seekers, people who have no right to be in this country, are now costing the UK taxpayer £41 million a year.

Providing shelter and food for one person awaiting deportation costs £129 each week. This is wrong, these people should be deported straight away when they become "failed".

We have old age pensioners living on less than a failed asylum seeker. It is a disgrace. They have paid into the system all of their lives, but they are now treated as second or third-class citizens to immigrants and failed asylum seekers.

No wonder this country is £32 billion in debt.
