There can be no doubt that mass immigration (especially that of non Englsih speakers) puts additional strain on public resources in those areas most affected by it. This is not the fault of the people concerned but it is a fact that they usually require considerable additional help and services. Were the government willing/able to identify problem areas and provide the necessary additional resources to cope with the extra demand and thereby reduce the impact on the local indigenous population there'd be fewer problems. But as we can see from the following:

that's not always what happens.
Of course there are arguments re the pros and cons of mass immigration but let's not try to claim there is no adverse effect.
From what I can see, the government still has little real idea as to how many legal immigrants have come here over the last decade and how many remain. Less so the figures for illegal immigration. It has no clue what the hundreds of thousands of Poles who've come here in the last 2 years intend to do in the future and how many may decide to settle here, bring their families and require specialist services such as schooling. Until it gets to grip with these issues and provides the additional resources required to cope with the demand there will continue to be problems.
