No, it’s nothing to do with an effect which does not exist. The evidence from studies is clear – immigrants only affect other recent immigrants wages.

You are just a massive racist, yes, as you try and smash the economy further by shutting off trade. As you completely ignore the real problem we have – an entirely domestic death spiral economic policy which has caused a downwards wage/productivity spiral. We’re one of the sickest economies in Europe, now.

You’ll whine and rage, simply because you won’t admit the basis of your views.

NO! Of course not, you massive racist!
