Again, the question remains why did successive UK governments allow unrestricted migration from the EU when there were mechanisms in place under EU law to prevent migration becoming an excessive burden to the state. This includes rules that say they must be working, self supporting or in education after three months or they must leave.Belgium manages this just fine. |
Andrew posted something similar earlier; in response I said that I don't think that these reports don't paint the true picture. I still believe that the majority of unskilled immigrants get a better deal out of them coming here than we do.
Economics aside, they are putting pressure on public services. Yes, some help the NHS, but how many more of these NHS staff are needed to cope with the immigrants themselves?
