I cant get a council flat because the immigrants have got them and i cant afford to live hardly, were they starving in there own country?? No i think not, they are greedy then arent they?

[grumpskimble]

very hard to answer this without sounding rasist (which i am not) But its such a shame that alot of English companies are sending thier work abroad because its cheaper for them,,then we've got lots,, loads actualy of people from abroad comming to England for the work,,yes it is hard to find work,,yes it is hard to get on the propaty ladder and yes it is hard not to feel pretty peeeed off..England used to be a pround country but it is only this way it is 2day because of our lovely,lovely Goverment god bless them all!!!!

No, we're not all comfortably off.

It's not illegal immigrants who keep people poor. They make a good scapegoat though don't they?

Economics and the unfair taxation system in this country are what keep people poor. Taxing the rich more would be a good place to start.

Most illegal immigrants come to work for minimum wage or less anyway. The only people who benefit from that is the people who eploit them, i.e. the employers.

I think the ones that do go on about how good immigration is for our Country, "are" the ones who are "comfortably off" as you say.

They are not affected by the influx which is taking away the low paid jobs from our struggling manual workers.

They probably own the companies that are using these immigrants as "cheap labour"

I have met a few Polish people that are working in civil engineering. They are polite, hard working etc. but will work for less wages.

They have no intention of staying here permanently, just long enough to earn enough money to buy houses back in Poland.

I spoke with one guy who had saved enough money to do just that in 18 months.

He had been living with 3 other Poles in bed & breakfast accommodation, sharing a room. This is why he had been able to save the money.

Have they moved you into a B & B yet?

Never met a Brit who doesn't want to work? Are you looking? I work for a charity that amongst other things, supports local young people, none are working, only one out of the 18 are in further education, 16 of these have said they don't want to work.

Instead of blaming the immigrants why don't you blame the employers as it's them who are forcing Brits out of work by demanding low paid work and reaping the profits.
Economic migrants have contributed to a 30% rise in the economy.
