The influx has been blamed for keeping salaries down, as Eastern European workers expect lower pay than British workers do, while driving up housing prices and putting additional strain on the public health-care system and other social services.

Is this incorrect though? Don't get me wrong, I am from an immigrant family and have put up with bigotry even in Canada because of it, but mass immigration does have a negative impact when politicians fail to keep it sustainable at a rate where institutions can keep up. Directing their anger to the immigrants themselves is obviously wrong, but natural citizens should be upset at the politicians who let them down.
