:Frank Field, Labour MP for Birkenhead
"The facts speak for themselves. The Government quite rightly boasts that more than three million new jobs have been created since Labour was elected in 1997. It has contemptuously brushed aside worries expressed by a tiny handful of its MPs that nine out of ten of these jobs have gone to foreign workers. .....Likewise, the Government has continued to pretend it is living in an Alice In Wonderland-type world when faced with what is happening on the Olympic site in the London borough of Newham. ....But what do the facts tell us? Since 2005 more than 50,000 national insurance numbers have been issued in Newham and practically all of them have gone to non-British workers. .....the scheme that allows entry to skilled workers who have no job to come to must cease immediately. ...the Government must recognise that there is still something wrong with our education system if nine out of ten new jobs go to non-British workers. ....Labour risks a wipeout at the next General Election unless it gets a real grip of its immigration policy.

It's not the education system that keeps British people unemployed. It is the fact that the benefit system pays better than minimum wage work. For an immigrant, who cannot yet get benefits, work pays.
