The main reason for unregulated migration is to keep wages down so CEOs can look good, get huge pay rises and keep shares prices booming.

There are 1,000s of companies that now rely on the over supply of labour and millions of workers and unemployed who rely on welfare to meet the lowest living costs. Within 20 years you will see huge swathes of jobs literally disappear. Drivers will be the worse as automated cars, vans, lorries, coaches, trains remover the need for a human to guide. Already companies like McDonalds are automating their fast food outlets, soon a machine will take your order. Online shopping is taking millions of jobs, with warehouses equipped with machines replace high street shops.

And if you think new jobs will spring up to replace the old ones, go tell that to the people who lost coal mining, car making, clothing, ship building, etc and are still waiting for new jobs to appear. Employers are not installing machines to create new costly jobs elsewhere.
