I don't see this as much different than what's going on in America right now. If you so much as point out the fact that people entering these countries are not immigrants but criminals ...you are called a racist.

Last I heard, the Spanish folks don't really like all the British expats immigrating to their island and using it as some party place to trash or retirement dumping ground either. They also refuse to learn Spanish and have their own little English only speaking areas. Maybe if the UK stopped giving handouts to everyone with a good enough excuse this kind of stuff wouldnt happen. The odd thing is, the most racist and anti-immigrant Brits I know are usually of the lower working class type. Most others dont care enough because they dont work in factories or minimum wage jobs where youre likely to compete with non english speaking immigrants and the few who do stick it out have told me many times the majority of other Brits in those jobs don't last longer than a week. Why would they when they can just go claim jobseekers and make the same wage doing nothing? Temp agencies do advertise in polish, but they also give those same jobs to Brits who are willing to work odd shifts for a pittance. Many dont last long in those working conditions and someone has to do the job so its not like all these immigrants are lazy. Some are but most work hard for a poor wage because its better than where they come from! Here in UK Brits are spoiled with an over abundance of Benefits, and have the choice to be a freeloader. It should all be scrapped. It's not about race, its about respect. The media has hyped up and exaggerated the amount of benefits and help immigrants get. I'm a white immigrant from a non EU country and I'm not entitled to diddly squat. If I don't work, I starve. I also get no tax credits and hate the fact my tax money goes to native Brits who can't be bothered to get off their arse, and spend it on cider and **** or a sky TV subscription when they don't deserve.
