If wages are too low why not vote for a party advocating a higher minimum wage? Again these are political choices by both parties, doing so while pointing at the “bogey man” of the EU.
I have experience of immigrants, their jobs, their pay and their history of benefit claims due to past and present roles.

Assumptions are seldom true and never helpful.
