It’s not necessarily binary. But if migrants are flooding over the channel to claim benefits as the right wing press suggest I’d imagine the odd one or two would drive lorries for the minimum wage while sleeping in the cab, posting home their wages to and eastern European shanty town with their tax credits and child benefit.
