In the past five years, which group of immigrants have really made the Uk wealthier?

Answer 1

I AGREE CHINESE! They are smart, hard working and never bother you but sometimes you never see them about the street unless shopping.The africans dont seem to do anything at all.they just live of the government.Why are the government spending money on foreign asylum seekers and refugees when we have our own native people who are homeless.shouldnt you take care of your own men first?

Answer 2

Well the south east asians in N. Ireland are certainly propping up the NHS.

The Jewish community are probably the richest community in Britain and keep Britains economy propped up on the basis of banking. Funny that nobody here complains about the Jews. Especially those who want all immigrants returned to their own countries. Jews are hardly British yet it is only those with different coloured skin that seem to take the brunt of immigrant bashing.

Answer 3

Without a doubt, the Polish.

I have never known a work ethic like theirs. They put many of our country men and women to shame.

Our unemployed should be shipped out to Poland for a couple of weeks to appreciate what poverty and struggle are realy about. Maybe then they would be a bit more inclined to take on the not so appealing job when it appears in the Job Centre window.

Answer 4

Polish- construction and service industries.
Asian- Medical make up 1/4 of UK doctors.
Chinese- services- to take dole money is a dishonour.
African- efficient in uniform services -local govt.
Afro-Carribean- Cultural industries.

Sorry if I missed any groups out.

The wealthiest country in the world is USA and this is a counrty founded entirely on immigrant labour.

Britian needs people who are willing to work. If you don't want to work go elsewhere!

Answer 5

A lot of companies are better off because the new workers are much cheaper to employ than British workers as they often work for the minimum wage.
Mrs Blair has also done quite well out of representing illegal aliens.
Countries like Poland are suffering suffering as their best educated people are leaving and taking unskilled jobs here for much more money that they could earn at home. It will be at least 10 years until Poland can catch up to our standard of living.
We are lucky that a lot have come here as we have a load of scroungers that never work or want to.

Answer 6

Americans

Answer 7

In the last 5 years it has to be the Polish. The majority of them are hard working and in general make an effort to integrate into our society. The problem is that they are mostly employed by the construction industry, and they are prepared to work at a lower hourly rate. Unemployment in this Country is rising, but hey! as long as business makes extortionate profits, the government couldn"t care less. I don"t mind immigrants coming here as long as they have work and don"t claim any benefits, but not at the expense of our jobs.

Answer 8

The Eastern Europe immigrants such as the polish. There are so many of them all looking for work that they will take any low paid job. They work all the hours that they can and they all pay 17.5% tax. The UK citizens will not work for £5.25 ph so they sit on their backsides claiming the dole.

Answer 9

The polish and immigrants from other new eu states seem to have contributed a lot to the economy and replaced a lot of rogue traders in plumbing etc. They do seem to have made life easier for many of us and in this way too enriched the nation.

Answer 10

I assume there are a whole heap of people from the United Arab Emirates who have paid an extraordinary amount in taxes and possibly kept many educational establishments open by paying the extortionate rates they charge to educate their children.
