So why travel across numerous safe countries where they could have easily and safely settled in one of the first safe countries they encountered then?
Local economists up here reckon the influx of migrant workers/immigrants has one major effect, keeping the average standard of living down, by their willingness to work for extremely low wages. Consequently some local employers tend to hire them as opposed to local workers.
The NHS collapsing as your example isnt a particualr good one, if unneccesary adminstrative, middle and higher management posts were thinned out, wages equivalent to that earned in the private sector would be more in parity and the recruitment and retention rates in the NHS would be greatly improved.
