Sadly, your argument re looking after "our own" is unfounded.
You seem to suggest that immigrants are showered with benefits at the expense of, what, proper Brits?
Well I can tell you, there's hundreds of thousands of lazy British spongers in the UK, sitting on their arses all day, watching Jeremy Kyle, and complaining that the foreigners take all their jobs, when in reality, they think that a supermarket or cleaning job is beneath them. They'd rather sit there and claim their state benefits than get off their backsides and do an honest day's work.
To suggest that immigrants are hoovering up all the government's handouts is utterly wrong. Yes, the disabled could do with more money. But who couldn't? So could the elderly, so could the schools, the nurses in the NHS, everyone would LIKE a bit more money. It's just a question of where we find it.
The "immigrants are to blame" argument is cheap and lazy thinking.
