It's true, the lower jobs in Britain that are needed were for the brute force Brits in this country and made things work, but are now these jobs are being taken by immigrants.

Manual labour has been dying out in most developed countries for decades now. It isn't simply immigration that are preventing british workers from doing manual labour, it's capitalism.
We have been a skills based workforce/economy for a long time now, those who do not have those skills and are unwilling to learn (And I do not mean University/College exactly but also trades such as electrician/plumbers etc etc) will find it harder to find jobs.
Basically, no one has a right to a job, they get it by their own merits. If you find yourself unable to offer anything more than a immigrant who may not even be fluent in the language and may have no further education or training then the employer will go for the cheapest option.

Most of the money is saved up and then flows out of the country after a couple of years when they can't stand the work any more. So we have a net loss to the economy. They don't spend much while here, use the local services and then cash out on their way home.
You could compare it to someone who walks into a Las Vegas casino, enjoys the free food and drink, does one bet, wins and walks out.

Do you have ay statistics to say the majority are doing this? I have no doubt there are a minority that are, but I kinda think that the majority will stay in this country or at least give the same back. If they back quick enough they won't have been much of a drain on the country and properly contributed a net gain...
