I for one are a little bit fed up of the ranting, usually accompanied by a lot of foul language, of certain members of this forum as regards the influx of foreign workers into the construction industry and the bigger concern of many that our country is being taken over by foreign customs, practices, and beliefs, to the detriment of the indigenous population and our own National Identity.
The added burden on our Health Services, Schools, Housing, Prisons, and Benefit System. The undercutting of rates of pay and working practices of many of the foreign workers and Companies.
Although I agree with many of the sentiments posted, It does nothing to solve the problem.
May I suggest that you follow the link below and find out what constructive action you can take to make your views known to your local MP and the Government of the UK, and maybe support an organisation that is working to reduce the immigration into the UK.

"A dozen key facts on immigration
Migrants are arriving at the rate of 500,000 a year - or nearly one a minute.
1 Allowing for those who leave, net foreign migration reached 333,000 in 2007, three times the level of 1997
2 The total of migrants who have arrived since 1997 is about 3 million (net foreign immigration of 2.67 plus half the latest estimate of 725,000 illegals)
3 In 2007 one in three London residents were born outside the UK
4 In 2008 one in nine of the UK population was born overseas.
5 Immigration will add nearly 7 million to our population in the next 20 years, mainly in England. That is equivalent to seven times the population of Birmingham.
6 England is now the most crowded country in Europe (apart from Malta)[8] and the fourth most crowded major country in the world.
7 Nearly 40% of household formation in the period 2006-31 will be a result of new immigration - that is 2.5 million extra households
8 The government's own calculation is that immigration raised production by 0.15% per annum in the ten years to 2006, that works out at 62 pence per head per week.
9 The number of foreign born workers over 16 had doubled since 1997 from
1.9 million to 3.8 million. Of these 2.6 million came from outside the EU.
10 One in seven pupils aged 4-11 does not have English as a first language - amounting to 466,000 children.
11 81% of the public agree that the government should substantially reduce immigration levels to Britain.
