Why Do Migrants Beat Young Brits To Jobs?

As youth unemployment passes the 1m mark, why are migrant workers beating our boys and girls to whatever jobs are going begging? Are the stereotypes true? Are our under 25s lazy, unreliable and arrogant? Are foreigners, who only have English as a second language, really more flexible, more approachable and smarter both mentally and appearance-wise?

I copied this article from the MW Show this morning, I thought it might open up an interesting debate on the subject.

My own opinion is we can't tar all of our under 25s with this, but are foreign workers more hard working than us Brits? apparently 99% of Pret A' Manger employees are foreign workers and they actually pay over the minimum wage at about £7-50 per hr

What you have to bear in mind is that anyone who's taken the initiative and made the effort to come here to work really wants to work.

It's a false comparison to compare that set of people with young people who were born here.

There may be just as many lazy useless young people back in Poland as we've got here, but we never see them because they're all sat on...

Surely though, it's got to be better than that foreign sh*t?

IMO eccles' post proves a point - our youngsters (and some oldsters) have no sense of respect for other people or their property - some of the incomers treat home and family as precious matters, not a right.
