It's human nature, when things start going south, to find & exploit differences in cultural groups for political / economic reasons. Being from the US, all I can really add to this particular debate is at least the immigrants you are competing with seem to be of the legal variety. If I'm not mistaken, they pay taxes for social services just like native Britons. A government generally doesn't care where it's taxes come from, as long as they are legal & don't stop coming in.
