Annual net migration to the UK in 2010 was 252,000 - the highest calendar year figure on record, figures show.

The data from the Office for National Statistics showed immigration remained steady at 591,000 but there was a drop in the number of people leaving the UK.

The government has pledged to cut net migration to tens of thousands by 2015.

Seems to be a number of Eastern Europeans working at my local Toby carvery pub now. I know they only pay the minimum wage, I guess the NEETs won't lower themselves.

Nope, the East Europeans are paying the taxes that keep the NEETs in benefits.

No it isn't, you just leave the EU. Sadly with the Europhile PM and Eurosycophant DPM that's about as likely as Catherine Ashton actually being elected by public vote.

You do realise that they are not magically generating new taxes that wouldn't exist it they weren't here.  Then there is the money that they send abroad which adds up to a massive loss to the economy. Normally money would pass from A to B to C and so on, in this country, generating income and taxes at each stage.

Nice steady supply of cheap labour does wonders to keep wages down too. No need to offer decent pay as East Europeans are happier to be underhoused. It pushes wages down due to simple supply and demand, pushes costs of housing up for similar reasons and is great for business though not so much for the rest of us.

Another of your useless suggestions I see.
Any way why should we leave, I have a better idea.
Let's leave the EU then we can stop them invading our country taking our jobs and our housing.

Even if we do leave the EU, they will still come (only illegaly), they have left their home counteries because they no longer want to live there, if you no longer want to live here then move to new zealand for example!

There are jobs for anyone that applies for them.
Nobody is 'taking' our jobs. If you want to blame anyone, blame employers for choosing to give the jobs to whichever ethnic minority/eastern european whipping boy the media has it in for this week.
If Johnny Chav doesn't want a minimum wage job because he won't be able to afford a second LCD tv then that's his problem.
When I went along to the Amazon open day for the Christmas temp jobs we were told that the pickers would be walking anything up to 12 miles per shift for a few pence more per hour than the NMW.
As we walked out I overheard one bloke saying "12 miles a day for minimum wage? I'm not doing that".
Says it all really.

Adding to that the fact I've yet to hear of a boss that actually prefers employing migrants over the local population, he can't give jobs to people that haven't bothered to apply for them.

I may have got this wrong but didn't a newly-opened branch of tesco somewhere have to go abroad for staff because none of the locals would work the night shift?
There's 'stealing our jobs' and there's "taking the jobs that the locals don't want to be inconvenienced by".
