  I am left wondering here, what it is the complainants want. Blaming immigrants for being in jobs that could go to some definition of 'natives? A lot, if not most, are doing jobs that fall below the minimum wage and most "British" people would not do. At times of economic stability (a relative term at best) immigrants are welcomed with open arms precisely to do the jobs no one here wants to do.
  
  What is it the complainants want? Do we stop supporting them, let them starve, sleep on the streets and beg here in our civilised nation? Do they want to start shipping them back, often to unsafe destinations, now that we don't need them to do the jobs no one wants for wages no one would accept?
  
  I am sure we will hear calls to scrap the minimum wage with the claim that it will make us "more competitive", when all it would really do is cause more unrest. Why should it cause unrest? Because "British" people have gotten used to not doing those jobs, even the idea of starting at the bottom of a company and working your way up is now an out-dated concept. Whether or not it should be is not a factor because the reality is what we have to work with.
  
  There are faults in the support system and "British" as well as "non-British" claimants do make use of that but it does not reduce the morality of a duty of care. Far easier to find someone to blame than it is to take the time to properly assess the faults and catch the real criminals. Given the percentages there are likely to be far more "British" making fraudulent claims than there are "non-British".
