Thing is I think Farage has shot himself in the foot with this one. He'll have been advised that areas of Port Talbot have high unemployment with low-investment and little long-term prospects so this seems like a fairly obvious attempt at stirring up some "immigrants coming over here, taking our jobs/council houses/NHS appointments etc" ill-feeling.
What he hasn't taken in to account is the fact Port Talbot actually has a comparatively-low percentage of immigrants.

He's taken that fully into account, it's areas that have little or no immigration that are ukips biggest supporters, areas like Clacton and Rochester for instance, xenophobia works best when it's still an unknown fear after all.
