Migrant workers help UK economy
Quote:
Migrant workers have boosted the UK economy, with their influx not having a negative effect on employment or wage levels, the TUC has argued.
Foreign workers made a positive net economic contribution, it said, with their share of tax paid exceeding the cost of supplying public services.....
....."Migrant workers are making a substantial contribution to Britain's economy," said Brendan Barber, the TUC's general secretary.
"They haven't caused mass unemployment or held down wages as some would have us believe."

Something the Daily Mail and others should take on board. Instead they choose to run
