They're on benefits...

They took our jobs!

So?

What does it matter if they're contributing to society rather than relying on handouts because they don't want to work

Okay but do I care

As long as 100% of them pay taxes then I don't really care.

Yeah because theyre better workers than half the lay about british population where we expect to get loads of benefits despite never working hard

Wow, how could we possibly have coped as a nation for the past century, before we systematically began letting foreigners into the country? Nevermind the fact that we've been managing just fine for the past 2000+ years.

I hear this a lot. It doesn't reflect my own experiences. I always found the Brits to be quite hard working.

why is that a problem :/ isn't it a good thing that they're actually working?

They are doing jobs that British people dont want to do so what is the problem in it? Would you like it if Brits in other countries were treated like how we treat migrants in the UK?

It's not a good thing if they're working on the minimum wage with five dependents.

Only people on good wages should be admitted.

No, they are doing doing jobs that British people don't want to do at this rate. Importing migrants to work for nothing decreases low-skilled salaries and thus penalises the already poor.
