Most new jobs taken by migrants. And so?

The BBC reports that more than half of the jobs created since 1997 in the UK have been taken up by migrant workers. This won't be good news for the Government, who have enjoyed an immigration record that resembles a tragicomedy. This, however, is no big deal. There are still vacancies for Brits and if we have a look at the top 20 occupations (still by the BBC) the picture isn't bleak at all. Most new arrivals do jobs that many Brits frown upon, or wouldn't really want to do if benefits pay just fine.

These guys aren't really stealing your City jobs and the good-paying ones, are they? Those who are still young or of working age and complain might as well get into some education or training and get into those jobs where they won't face the migrants' competition. It's the "get going" stimulus. In extreme cases it is called "head extraction from backside" and it is a benefit to society.
