I stumbled upon the Communist Party of Britain (Marxist-Leninist)'s articles about immigration, and to me they have a whiff of nationalism and fascism. Links:

• Why the employers love rising immigration
• Migration continues to rise
• Open door to study in Britain
• A new meeting they have scheduled "Mass immigration – war on the working class"

Their point seems to be that immigration is bad because it brings down the conditions and wages of british workers, and can be used to break strikes, for example the doctors strike. That it degrades the quality of public services like housing, healthcare etc. etc. In the description of the meeting, they say "how should we respond?"

To me this just sounds like EDL (English Defence League, rightwing nationalists) rhetoric. I feel like a better approach is to understand the part that this historically imperalist nation plays and has played, and to have sympathy with those immigrants who come here only to end up superexploited, instead of appealing to nationality and only worrying about british workers. Maybe I am being idealist? not sure.

Any thoughts? Immigration is a pretty big deal in british politics, and I would like to hear some other marxist viewpoints
