Most of the people I meet from'abroad' have come here to earn an honest living-perhaps to send money home to their country and someday hope to go home again. Ido not see any wrong in that.They work hard -a lot harder than some of us.They really earn their money be it a pittance compared with what we would expect.
The jobs they do would not be taken up by 'our' people for that money.
The majority of complaints about these incomers are from people on the dole who are saying 'these foreigners have taken our jobs.'.
If they wanted the jobs -they are there for them, at low wages of course but it is usually made up by government payments to a better level.But ,so many people have been out of work and on social security or dole money for so long it is easier not to bother. I know quite a few who, as teenagers never had jobs, and are now grown up and still haven't worked , I dont think they could cope with a job.
It should be compulsory to either go on to either secondary/further education
or have a job or apprenticeship lined up.
Otherwise they should get no money--or maybe no choice.
