No, I do not believe that immigrants are 'ruining' the economy. Immigrants bring new talent, skills and resources to our country and can boost economic growth if provided the opportunity. In addition to making various consumer, leisure and business choices which contribute to overall economic development in their local area, immigrants also contribute significantly in terms of taxes - providing needed funding for social services that natives benefit from too (see Harvard Business Review article "Immigrants are More than Integrating into the American Economy"). Additionally, numerous studies have shown that increasing immigration has a positive fiscal impact on the U.S. economy as a whole (see US Ctr for Mgmt & Lab Rev: Economic Impact of Immigration). There are many examples of how immigrants have contributed positively to local economies across the country - check out these videos highlighting successful immigrant entrepreneurs and stories published here at OpenMic.

Yes, I certainly do think that uncontrolled immigration is a major problem, as it places a massive strain on the economy. Furthermore, many immigrants lack the qualifications or experience necessary to access and sustain well-paid work here in the UK. As a result, they often end up relying on more expensive emergency benefits from the state or undercutting pay of workers already here in order to find low paid employment. Ultimately this results in inflationary pressure whilst competing with local workers and reducing their wages at the same time. This only serves to exacerbate economic and social divides within society further still and prevents local people from accessing sustained career progression."
