I currently work on a site with 3000 people don't think I have seen an ambulance once. Nobody has given birth in the loo's either.

The warehouse is largely staffed by eastern europeans and tannoy announcements are in polish first. A few hundred of the locals arranged a demonstration due to the anti-social behavior of a small majority of the staff drinking & fighting in the town centre.

I've nothing against people coming from other countries to get a better life for their family. I'd do the same.

I agree,but the problem comes with the cost to the tax payer of these people on minimum wages, there are so many benefits that can be claimed, should the tax payers support people coming to this country for a better life? Who pays for all the health care needs? One of the employees of the warehouse was interviewed in hospital, he had a heart problem, the system, health education welfare etc was never designed to work in the way it is now, we appear to be subsidising these people, is this right when cuts are taking place across all areas?

Absolutely. Ignoring the rights or wrongs of it, the moral obligations or any other considerations, the very simple mathematical fact is that the burden is unsustainable.

In very simple terms if a welfare state economy adds net dependents, it will run into problems relatively fast.
