I personally believe that immigration is a problem in
the UK. We struggle to look after people who have lived here all their lives
and can't afford anyone else to care for. We are finding it difficult for to
care for pensioners who have lived in the UK for years and years but we can
afford to pay benefits for immigrants. It is just not fair on our own people.
Housing is also a huge problem for people in the UK at the moment and therefore
we should not be allowing more people in if we can't even house our own people.
Britain is becoming overcrowded and at the
rate we are letting people in it will soon be too crowded to live. The numbers
allowed in year need to be lowered drastically.
Many immigrants are sending money back home to families and
therefore our economy is providing for this. This lowers our economy as they don't
use the money they earn or get from benefits, in our country and therefore
decreases our already struggling economy.
Overall immigration is
causing a lot of problems for Britain and it needs to be decreased soon or we
could become even more overpopulated.

I don't think that your belief that immigration is a problem for
Britain is right. Lots of the most successful doctors and scientists in the UK are not
originally from here and yet they've saved thousands of lives. Immigration is
benefiting us in our health and I believe that is more important than any negatives
that it may bring.
Some people believe that immigrants will have a
positive long term effect on the UK's economy, so even if there are problems
now, in the long run they will be forgotten and replaced by positives. This means that immigration may not need decreasing at all.
Obviously you and others have different opinions to mine for fair reasons but this is mine.

Good start. The second one feels unfinished and both could do with a clear purpose for writing - why does each person care enough to post their views online? This will help you make the voices more different, whcih will make it easier to write your commentary.
