They are only a problem in terms of housing demand due to their numbers.
Are you in denial the UK population has increased by 3m over the past 10
years?

7.6 million between 1998 and 2017 (ONS data) of which net immigration
was 4.5 million from a starting point of 58.5 million.

13% increase in 20 years.

Of course that affected house prices, put massive pressure on the NHS
and other infrastructure - anyone who says otherwise would have to be
quite deluded.

13% increase in tax revenues, of course with the Conservative catering
for their friends so fervently, 13% more housing will not have been
built, but everyone in an average job will have to get used to living
with a few generations of their family.

We should perhaps provide a refund to those migrants who feel they
have to return. Statistically they will have paid in far more to the
system than they have received.

They are an excuse full stop!!

The trouble is, they will go home now and things will probably reflect
on the British people in the rest of Europe. Of course the thick self
centered simplistic Brexiteers dont factor things like that into their
reasoning do they?
