David Cameron said the numbers of Romanians and Bulgarians arriving in the UK since the last work curbs were lifted had been at a reasonable level. The Prime Minister said the immigration bill contained sensible measures aimed at lowering annual net migration. The bill, he insisted, included important measures to ensure migrants had to pay to use the NHS and could not get council housing or defer appeals against deportation judgements if they were not entitled to be in the UK. The prime minister has also pointed out that future controls would stay in place until aspiring EU members reach an average income level much closer to that of the UK and other existing EU members.

In my opinion there is a problem, because you should look at it not only from that side but also from the other. It could be that immigrants are more likely to become unemployed or the exploit the state benefits but you must also consider that exactly these immigrants are potential young people, who are qualified workers.

To sum up, I think that we should give a chance to every immigrant. But if they violate the law or apply without reason (e.g. illness) for unemployment benefit or other benefits, they should have to leave Europe.
