if someone's come here and got a work permit, do you still see him as a scrounger?Do you put him in the same place with other foreigners and look at him with same hatred eyes?
Just curious:)

I'm a foreigner to this country and yes, we do get treated with suspicion. But then, I'm a visitor and in my own country, many people, including the British, were treated with suspicion. We're never going to be a native, we're never going to fit in. I accept that. And I'm grateful for the positive things the UK have given me.
If people want to be treated with respect, they should treat the UK with respect, and not ask for outlandish things, like changing the flag because it reminds them of some centuries old war!

No. doing what is legal to work here is not a scounger. You may need to make that moneyThe scroungers are the ones who sneak into a country and accept work at a lot lower wage than the job requires and putting skilled workers out of work So make sure your being paid the wage Union or other wise require of the job or you are a scrounger for taking a job at alot lower wage.

First you can't blame the people that come here if this country is stupid enough to let them in, and second there is a lot of these foreigners as you put it, running shops, and working harder than we would, and of course their are scroungers in every country, many of own do just as much as any of those coming to this country, why should you think this is racist, who cares what colour the skin is, unless this is on your mind, i know it's not on mine, i mean do you thing this is how people look at others in world.

Absolutely not. By obtaining a work permit it shows you are here legally and you have as much of a right to be here as anyone as long as you remain here legally.
You are providing much needed service (especially if you are in the sciences or engineering field: America is not producing enough of this locally)
You are being a productive member of the society.
You are paying taxes.
You are helping to stimulate the economy by spending your hard earned money -(rent,bills,shopping, food etc)
