The simple answer is YES - There is one reason and one reason only, why all these immigrants are coming to the UK. It is because of the benefits they can scrounge and if they get work that is added bonus.
Then there is the criminal element, I read where the crime rate in Rumania had plummeted since they were allowed to leave the country and come here. I have also read where our crime rate here has shot up in the same period.
This tells it's own story.
Britain as a nation will be diluted over the years until there are no Britons to keep up our customs and traditions.
This is totally the idea and aims of the European Union which knows that true Britons hate the European 'dream' as they call it, because most of us can see through it.
As Churchill said in a famous speech "Hitler knows he must break us in the islands, or lose the war".
Superimpose the EU for Hitler in that speech and you have it all in a nutshell.

Yes. Jobs are fewer, wages are being driven down, health service under strain, housing becoming more and more inaccessible. We're struggling badly on low wages and its not through lack of trying!
I worry greatly for my son's future.
EDIT: It has nothing to do with racism, just dislike of the current government's policy. The open door should be closed and immigrants should be accepted only if they can prove they have a a skill which is needed in the UK and they have work so will not need recourse to public funds or housing etc. Regardless of their "race".

Yes - the UK pensions system is like a pyramid scheme, you get new money in the system by new workers joining at the start. With the UK's low birth rate, there are less births than deaths, therefore a declining population without immigration.
If people get rabble-roused by foreign-owned newspapers telling them that the foreigners are bad and demand an end to immigration, there may be too many pensioners taking money from too little working people.

I don't believe in the hysteria that the tabloids love to put on their front pages. Immigration has always existed and always will. Lots of Eastern Europeans are now here but what about the other groups in decades and centuries gone by?
That said, I do wonder how the infrastructure in this country will cope. For that reason there is something to be said for controlled immigration i.e. to have a points system as many other English speaking countries do. Also, this country should never, ever, ever stop accepting those who are fleeing from persecution, whether actual or a genuine fear of it.

Put it this way:
I was born and raised in Britain, and I stayed there for 34 years (until emigrating this past April in fact). I worked in the construction industry and year after year the salaries were dropping due to the huge influx of cheap eastern-European workers. If I wanted to work, I had to accept that the money would get lower as more migrant workers came in.
Even at 34, and having never been unemployed since starting work at 16, I could not afford to buy a house on my home turf in London.
There's something very wrong with that picture....wouldn't you agree?

No, because I am more concerned about the U.S. unsecured borders and age old immigration systems. It is time we all update our policies to meet the need of immigrants across the globe keeping our citizen's safety foremost in our minds.

Yes. I'm finding it hard at the moment because in my work place there are more immigrants than English and it's becoming an issue because of the communication difficulties.
I'm in the care industry and most of the service users cannot understand them, and they cannot understand what the service user needs.
Sometimes it's hard for me to understand what the service user needs.

Yes. Also the fact that this is a determined attempt to out vote the British public on the EU issue. At 700,000 a year we will soon be out voted in the referendum that we are denied now.

Not in the slightest. England is an island and as such, exists due to a constant flow of immigration and emigration. Have seen no evidence whatsoever of this so-called ´mass´ immigration either. Britain´s hugely diverse population is what makes me feel so happy to live here.
