I know many of these economic migrants and immigrants, some of whom who have illegally worked/lived here for well over a decade. A lot came via Europe before the Brexit deadline, where they were comfortably living and had bought property that they still have and haven't declared to the UK government. Some have come over very recently due to large scale visa extensions authorised by UK authorities.
I also know many who have come over on student visas. After graduation, they are all working as deliveroo drivers, in Asian shops, Amazon warehouses, etc. They are all without exception living 8-10 to a small terraced or semi detached house. They don't care about subletting being illegal or landlords obligations to ensure that they don't inadvertently get fined by local councils. They simply cannot afford to pay UK rents and so they cram as many of their mates into these houses as humanly possible. The landlords who discover this illegal subletting chuck them out. Some don't care. Either way they are causing havoc in local communities by living in their own self created slums. They are also using local religious temples to eat free food daily. We're talking about a few hundred people descending on the temples daily, again without contributing anything in time or small donations to those temples, as all other worshippers do. The poor older volunteers simply can't cope with catering for this volume of largely young people daily.
None of these people are educated or trained in any profession. They may already have or get a further degree, but their grades aren't high enough to say work in medicine or the care sector. They are all coming to work in the black market and to send money home to maintain their homes or build a nest egg. Benefits and housing here are a draw too. None of these people pay tax, want to pay tax, contribute to the communities around them or care about law, ethics and decency. They are literally here to bleed the country dry.
It makes me feel so angry when I hear that they are "desperate migrants fleeing persecution." They are doing nothing of the kind. And why aren't the ones I see and know contributing anything in return for being here? It's all take, take, take, without a second thought for the people's lives who they're destroying here. If they can't afford to live here they should return to their home countries where they have housing, families and a comfortable life. Stop inflicting your greed and destruction on other mostly elderly people here.
