David,
The immigrants who arrived 30 to 40 years ago stuck together and worked hard, really hard, for a new life in the UK.
If a country was to announce that they will give me a substantial amount of money on arrival, somewhere nice to live, educate my children for free, look after my health for free and provide extra money to supplement my income I would probably be at their Passport Control within a few hours.
You can’t blame those people coming from developing countries coming to the UK because they know what the perks are, you don’t get free education in most non-western countries, free healthcare is pretty much unheard of anywhere else!
You can blame the Government for being free and easy with tax-payers money, giving away the already limited social housing, allowing criminals to continue their practices and putting the needs of those not willing to work hard above others.
The laws need to be changed to stop the abuses of the system.
