Supply and demand rules prices. When labor is over supplied the price drops. In the UK the Government is subsidizing low wages by giving people on low wages extra cash. It'sd complete madness to keep bringing in lower skilled and non-skilled workers to force wages down and subsidize those low wages with benefits.

Then to top it all, it creates more unemployment. The only winners are the bosses.
