"I don't come to rob your country. I come to work and then go home,"

I know some Filipinos who does exactly the same. They pay an EU to gain residency here and take every benefits they can get or leave the country and rent out the place. Go back to Philippines and come here every now and then for paperwork.

Worse I know is an English who does exactly the same. Happens to be an accountant and does what some of those parasites you mentioned.

I think whatever their nationalities have good and bad. You can't generalise that most British are pedo, or most Americans are obese, most Australians are loud, most Filipinas are maids or scamming gold digger or Chinese as communist minded and Arabs terrorist.

As far as I know most of them come here to live in peace and wants to have a better life because this country can offer that.

The best part is you haven't got their holidays like Eid etc as British/Christian holidays. .but respecting it by being tolerant for them to practice and exercise their beliefs. Some may extreme in terms of their faith. But as long as they will not be aggravated like some of the populace do.. I think we will keep living in peace.

This country is not any different many years ago before those migrants came... except it is trying to behave the acceptance of being different.

I know a Romanian lady who annoys me in the Morrisons near me. She kept asking my ID every time I check out a wine.

She's a quite old.. and bump into her in bus one day and spoke to her. How she misses her children and grand children. How her culture is not any different to mine, how sad she feels about how some people in this country portray them as "scum and leeching parasites". To think that there are quite a few born and breed English are doing exactly the same. Being parasites and milking the system.. and well, the italians, Romanians, Filipinos, Spanish etc who works and pay taxes too.

I don't see how any different people can be.

Profile states she's from Cebu, but is married and living in Worthing. I for one think she's making a very valid point and she has my respect and admiration for having the guts to say it

Absolutely. ..I first read her post here last night. All totally true Purple. I was doing just the same in France in the 80s and 90s when they had 50 hours per week working restrictions. ..us British went over there to do the work they couldn't. ...We weren't very popular either.
We all do the best for our families. ..I'd do it all again if I had to.
Family comes first before patriotism.
A rep for Purple for putting over valid points
