The immigration scheme was introduced to address severe shortages in certain fields of work. For whatever reason, some employment areas are difficult to obtain UK workers and then retain them. This may be due to the nature of the work or the salary on offer, or a mixture of both.
As to whether that's right or wrong, or fair to the locals or unfair to the immigrants is a heated topic. Some locals argue that foreigners are stealing their jobs. Some immigrants complain about the conditions, wage and hours. Some, and I am one of these, see the benefit in the system: the immigrant earns pounds, sees another country, learns a new language and becomes available to opportunities that the UK has to offer while the UK is provided with a service that would otherwise not have been filled by a UK citizen.

The Negatives of the East Europeans arriving here in great numbers to settle, is under stated . Iraq has had a bitter run of problems to cope with . It should be generally understood the influx of Immigrants into our lives in such a short Time is worrying ,chiefly because of the Numbers and the endless need to monitor their needs is increasing . Our Employers like many others abroad are just looking for profit.

Simple reply NO!
I am puzzled however why you have decided the work should be undertaken by immigrant workers. Suspect you may have an different reason for posing the question !

Absolutely not but then again we British have never been any good at "subservient" jobs have we?
No immigration should be allowed if the job can be done by someone already in the country.

It looks lkie they are doing that already. This is because UK workers are not prepared to work for the pittance offered by the fast food outlets.

They wouldn't have to if the lazy Brits did it themselves. But they'd rather sit on the dole, read the Sun and moan about immigration.
