That is true, however net migration into the UK is causing problems.
My son is in Taiwan, he needed a job before he could live there, he receives no Benefits and must have medical insurance.

I just find it strange that we have some significant unemployment 39 miles away, yet agricultural workers can come here and get a job straight away.

Most of them are young couples, come here for a few years and then go back.
A few do have children, but they are mostly those who been here for years and the children are born here.

Re: The Immigration Question
You see Swim singles and young couples can see a future .in their own country they can buy a house perhaps land with the money they have earned in the uk and raise their social standing .
An argricultural labourer in the Uk cannot do this he /she has no incentive there is nothing to look forward to but a life of unrelenting grind for low pay and all weather conditions .

Yes, quite right Muddy.
They are not all low paid jobs however, quite a few are really good pay.
Not by London standards, but really good for round here.

Yes, I think we will need seasonal workers permits, not only for vegetable harvesting, but also for sheep shearing.
