The EU allows citizens of member states to move freely from one EU country to another. UK generous welfare state has become a magnet attracting people from the impoverished Balkans to move there. This welfare migration is one of the reason UKIP has become a major political force.

Are most of the Bulgarians Orthodox or Muslim?

[Boogieman]

Well, at least the Romanians will work, probably harder than native Britons, and they will not try to chop your head off.

"...a quarter of a million Romanian and Bulgarian nationals now live in Britain..."

They've been doing some travelin'?

[ScottinVA]

I would MUCH rather see Christian Romanians and Bulgarians immigrating than filthy mohammedans.

[I want the USA back]

Are they gypsies or normal people?

[dfwgator]

A lot of Poles as well, which I believe is bad for all countries, because it drains one country of its’ youth, and eventually all those countries will have are the elderly and otherwise unproductive and creates Balkanization in the host country.

[sinsofsolarempirefan]

As long as they’re not thieving gypsies I don’t care. I know lots of East Europeans, especially Poles and they’re generally sound, and they work harder than the average Briton.

They are an asset to us, and the more we have of them moving here, the more they will dilute the influence of the third world communities of bronze age ignoramuses who are growing in numbers every day here.
