You're deliberately ignoring the argument you're responding to.

> As long as the immigrant workers have the same rights and working standards as any other worker, what is the problem exactly?

No one is transforming England into Pakistan. That is a false characterization.

London now has acid attacks almost twice a day now [1]. This NEVER used to happen anywhere in Europe, only Pakistan and some other Muslim countries. Why is this happening now?

So yes, in terms of crimes like acid attacks, London is becoming more Pakistan-like.

London is also turning into the Pakistan of homophobia, antisemitism, sexual assault, and street harassment.

It is foolish to think you can import that many people without also importing their cultural values. And we like to tell ourselves that we will only get the things we like, and nothing we don't.

I am not attacking people who are immigrants. Most of them left because they wanted to escape these things. But if we pretend that these problems don't exist, then we have no hope of addressing them.

Yes, all of these problems are 100% caused by immigrants, and no native-born person has ever been guilty of them. No, you're not attacking immigrants. I completely believe your rationalizations.
