Equally, it isn't swamped with millions of eastern Europeans claiming benefits.
The reality is somewhere in between, where, due to an ageing population, immigration is needed to ensure the country has the workers it requires to function in the future. But no politician seems brave enough to make that point, due to the poisonous atmosphere this current shower of bastards (and I'm including all political parties in this) have created.
Anyway, historically this country has benefitted enormously from immigration and the vast majority of 'native' people are descended from immigrants of some ilk.
