#1 Mr Field said yesterday: "What the Government needs to do is face up to the fact that we need to restrict the movement of labour from eastern Europe.

"We had the ability to do that, but now we would need to ask the European Commission for permission. And the Government seems unwilling to do that."

No different here. Both parties give a rat's ass about the managing labor supply. Oh, they'll worry about the Fed and capital markets, tax welfare for absentee farm owners in Manhattan and other businesses, and employment welfare in the form of grants to colleges and universities, but the average American worker will only get redress by being treated as a 'victim' [of government meddling in the market more often by refusing to enforce its existing laws] rather than an 'asset' [other than on election day].

#2 I'm sorry, but it's the tax and benefit structure that cause this.

For the vast majority, working migrants are a blessing. The problem is the UKs large lumpenprole population who are addicted to others money.
