To people who complain about foreigners taking all of the jobs - "foreigners may be stealing your job, but maybe if someone with no contacts, money, or ability to speak English can steal your job, you deserve to have it stolen."

Do people in England think it's bad when foreigners work there? What about their contributions in taxes? We have the opposite problem in Sweden, with nearly 50% unemployment among all immigrants, and this is a growing number.

Nobody seems to take taxes in to consideration when they think of foreign employees. The majority mainly complain about the availability of jobs when they are anybody's for the taking really, regardless of where you come from.

Nothing against foreigners but i agree with more opportunities/Jobs for the younger British population - saying that being in Europe doesn't allow us to select who comes here via their skills i.e India etc students have great skills but its tougher to get here than an unqualified Romanian citizen and for that i agree with exiting the EU and for many other reasons... i could be here all day writing a debate lol

BS -British standards with European control - its becoming bonkers at work

I understand what you mean, although I don’t agree with it, because choosing less qualified individuals would harm the businesses and ultimately the standard of living for the people.  The problem is when large segments of unqualified people immigrate, not because they are “stealing jobs”, but because there isn’t enough work for them (i.e. huge unemployment and a burden to tax payers). If these unqualified people somehow still manage to get employment before born Brits, it means they are more useful (qualified) and they are aiding society. The issue here is not with the immigrants, but with your educational system which fails to make its students more qualified. If people can get a job, it’s all good in my opinion, if they cannot, and we cannot provide them with sufficient qualifications (e.g. training/education) with a reasonable amount of resources, then we have a huge problem.

I'm voting out of the EU.
U.K. Will sink further if we continue to be a part of it.

Red, I just want to say I agree 100% with you there.
