ok im not going to talk about any paper, cause perosnally I think there all bulll shit, Im going to talk about real life! when i started working at tesco 4 years ago I remember when i served my first polish customer, and i rememberd him well because he was so rude ignoring me when i said hello ( I dont care if he cant speak the english lauage im not going to be arrogant and say he should learn, but if you go to a country for a period of time, learning hello goodbye and thank you is just being poilite) any way back to the story 4 years later i still serve him and id say i serve 35-40 polish people a night and probably 100-120 british people and yes i still serve that man that came here 4 years ago, can you please tell me when he plan on going back? cause i really don't think he plans on doing so.
I have never heard of a mass mirgation problem from africa :S, i may hear odd cases , and i mean the odd case.

I think you will find that he wasn't purposely trying to be rude, the Polish culture is very different to ours and what we perceive as rude may not be to them. Admittedly migrant workers should learn to adopt the customs of the country they are working with, that's common sense, but a change cannot happen overnight as it were. You will probably find he has tried very hard to learn the English language and customs.
Anyway, I digress. A migrant worker can work here for an indefinite amount of time if they are a member of the EU, that is their right. We in return have the same rights, if I wanted to operate out of Poland then I can do so. Over 4 million British people work and live abroad, we get the same rights and privileges. This is a two way street.
Anyway, if you must blame someone for taking British jobs away from British workers then you should blame those that decide to try and cut Labour costs by 90% by moving their industrial operations to a country where the populations labour force is cheap and abundant. Did you know that 70% of the British economy is tertiary based? It's true, the whole Secondary and Primary industry together only accounts for 30%. Why is it so small? Because Primary and Secondary industry is easy and cheap to outsource. People complain about a few hundred thousand jobs here and there taken by immigrants, but always fail to acknowledge the tens of millions of jobs that are being lost to outsourcing labour. And I've never been able to get my head round that ideology.
...
Migration based on asylum from war torn countries is common, unfortunately there are several African countries that fall under this category as well as many others worldwide. There are 101,000 Somalian immigrants in Britain today and I would imagine many of them have come due to the threat of piracy. Unfortunately we need to be a little more strict about immigration in situations like this.
