Usually also includes complaints about Eastern Europeans. Poles, Romanians, etc.. have also moved to Britain in large numbers. Xenophobic people love to single out he immigrants who commit crimes, but ignore the benefit of hard working immigrants who drive their taxis, build their houses, do their lawn work, wash their dishes, cook their food, etc... for far less money than any Brit would.
