Sorry, but that is nonsense. As someone has mentioned, many highly educated foreigners work here as expats. They pay their taxes here, and may end up being net contributors to the UK economy. For one, any European Union citizen can come and work in this country, as Brits can work anywhere in the EU. And people may not come here for economic gain (or to take advantage of the NHS). They may simply decide to work abroad for a couple of years as it is good for their career..
