I think that immigration can have some benefits to us (though the disadvantages outweigh them), but if they're going to start being choosy about what work is expected of them, then this is one less benefit that they can offer and even less of a reason to allow them in.
After watching the BBC season on Black Britain, I feel the same about the black people coming here in the fifties.
This was only ever meant to be a stop gap to help us out with hard to fill vacancies and they were then expected to go home.
In the end they stayed and started expecting (and got) the right to be the bus driver instead of the conductor.
This was
not the original agreement or plan.
