Migrant workers are the new slave trade
I thank you 
Seems so, Sainty And yet, just think how much industry would collapse without them.....
Industry would not collapse.
It's a lie fed to you to justify the 'new slave'.
Business would adjust - it has the financial clout and gumption to cope.
The new slave is used to drive wages down and productivity up whilst trying to make us feel guilty for being too 'lazy' to take the job ourselves.

actually, that was one of the labour party's ideas..or very similar to counter act the rise in immigration. Firms put tenders out abroad to get cheap labour, that's neither the fault of british workers or the foreigners that are brought in to do the work...it's firms trying to get the cheapest labour.
We forget that in the seventies and eighties we had to bring skilled labourers from abroad, where was our skilled labourers...doing the Auf Wiedersehen, Pet bit abroad. Of course, they weren't immigrants, they were ex pats 
I think the NHS would struggle, less nurses are applying for jobs because they can't afford to train without the bursary and a the number of British doctors applying to work abroad seen a massive increase over the last few years.
