So even if a significant amount of people from a certain country (or even region as you said - how wide does that stretch?) - are working, you’d block everyone from that country (or region) because the majority aren’t?

Country yes. In the US data suggests upward of 75% of Somalian immigrant households are on welfare. Unless you can get a skills visa, if your from Somalia you should be refused. Not controversial at all.

As I have said previously. If its such small numbers it shouldn’t be difficult to address and there should be a willingness to do that.

And in the meantime it's perfectly easy to be kind to those here working hard and for people not to use immigration stats as some kind of get out of free card for the rise in hate crime in the UK. In people I mean the wider population and not you, before I am accused of putting words in mouths

Thats different from the original statement of not accepting any immigration from those countries.

In fairness there is a huge hard working Somalian workforce globally

If you come here from Somalia and claim asylum and if your claim is adjudged to be a valid one then you should not be refused asylum.

Again you are putting words in peoples mouths.

If there is a country where anything like 75% of immigrants are on benefits, we should not accept immigrants from that country.

Where the fuk have you got 75% from lol. You can't just grab numbers out of the air when it comes to economic policy

Clearly not....

And TBF again I have mentioned being kinder to migrants here working only to have stats or rhetoric produced to kind of suggest it either deserved or somehow justified.

Its fine if you think working migrants are fair game, you could just say you dont think it if you dont and make the point alot clearer

Maybe the matrix is blocking or controlling my my Google, but isnt it more 60% of them in the US in work? I woukd suspect a large % of those not employed are women who are homemakers given cultural differences and it seems 65% of somali women are unemployed

Figures are based on households.

I don’t think it’s fine. I think it’s an unavoidable consequence.

Its clearly avoidable when you see a Dr who is working for example, your brain can compute that they might, might just be here working and benefit to society and not racially abuse them.

Some just need to engage their brains, I suspect there isnt an appetite to do so though
