These immigrant workers come to work on cheap labour jobs and spend very little.
Money is going out of the economy at a steady rate. The more of them that do this the worse it becomes. You create a bleed on the economy.
I'm sure all that money going out of the UK in FX from these immigrants pales in comparison to all the foreign currency coming in via dirty money from corrupt Third World oligarchs for RE and other things. This has had the effect of bolstering the pound but making things much more expensive back home in the UK.
Still can't believe the mainstream media perpetuate the lies about how massive illegal and legal immigration is somehow 'good' for the average American.
The unholy alliance of the left seeking votes and big business sourcing cheap labor is a very powerful one.
This is where a lot of outsiders become confused and you've highlighted it perfectly.
London, moreso the City is not representative of the UK. It is its own little bubble and if it were to separate from the UK it would be its own little country.
Before any of that big money comes to little old England it goes through a lot of filters.
