  [Migrants] put pressure on those sections of society least able to defend themselves"
  
  So far the government has been in utter denial about the impact of opening the door in January to Romanian and Bulgarian immigration with no restrictions in the new year.
  They have refused point blank to release their estimates about the numbers they expect to arrive and they appear to be engaging in a futile rejection of reality.
  It is a simple fact that if you open your doors to people from countries with significantly lower wages and GDP than the UK then migratory flows will come.
  In the main those arriving will be competing in the low-skills market and will put pressure on those sections of society least able to defend themselves.
  My own experience of this is in taxi cabs where I am regularly booked into cabs driven by those who have been recruited as drivers in Bulgaria and Romania.
  Nice enough people, but without any local knowledge. Even with a satnav to hand they invariably get lost.
  In the meantime, British drivers are driven out of work as they, with mortgages and local ties, cannot compete on wages.
  Of course, there is nothing that the government can do about the problem, as they are committed to membership of the EU, which is the root cause of the problem. To act, would be to break EU law.
