Well they'd hardly be queueing up to get into the country if it was a hellhole, would they? Congratulations Sherlock, for your insight into the totally flaming obvious.

The issue isn't why they come, it's whether we have room - we do - and whether they have something to offer that enriches the country while they're here. The various large-scale migrations into the UK during the 20th century brought us a lot of people who have for the most part worked hard, paid taxes and, as others have pointed out earlier in this thread, very often done so whilst taking on the sorts of jobs a lot of Brits nowadays consider beneath them.
