The question is why should they allow immigrants in to take the entry level jobs when so many British kids are unemployed? I did all kinds of crap jobs when I was a kid, for peanuts. Like shoveling doog poop for under $1 an hour. (Nowadays, the lefties would claim that locals won't do those jobs.) But that's how I took my learning lumps that resulted in a pretty good career. Again, every immigrant that gets housed takes a unit off the market. So yes, immigrants on entry level jobs are driving up the cost of housing. Which results in higher home prices. Supply and demand. Surely, you remember Econ101? Surprisingly, you and I agree on private equity's disastrous effect on the market. That's all part of the WEF "You'll own nothing and you'll be happy". Another lefty plot.
