It's a worrying trend. As well as the people who have lived here for years, asylum seekers, EU migrants, economic migrants etc needing employment, we are also losing jobs abroard without them even setting foot in the UK. At least immigrants and their employers pay NI and tax.
On top of this automation isn't that far away where a huge amount of jobs will be lost.
How are we to pay for the NHS, the welfare state and other public services? We are letting foreign people into the country, letting jobs leave the country to foreign countries, still allowing many tax loopholes.
When automation takes hold there will be massive job losses, but how will the unemployed (of all nationalities) be looked after?
It's time that the politicians took this on board and prepared for the future.

Well, it's alright for those of us of a certain age who own our own home and have pensions, investments etc- especially if our jobs aren't likely to be lost either to other countries or due to automation, but what about younger people?
I'd hate to be starting out in today's world as it is now.
