Well it is harder for non E.U migrants to come to the U.K for work:
"To settle in the UK as a skilled worker, non-EU migrants need to have a Tier 2 visa. For this you need:
After five years on this visa, skilled workers are able to apply for ‘indefinite leave to remain’ – and this is what is about to change.
- An offer for a job in the UK that pays at least £20,800
- Have had at least £945 in your bank account for 90 days
- A certificate of sponsorship from your employer (which can cost between £536 and £1,476)
- To pay a £200 annual healthcare surcharge
- To prove your English language proficiency
From April, anyone applying for indefinite leave to remain will need to earn at least £35,000."

Well in my opinion, people here actually want to see a cut in Non E.U migrants as well. You won't find many people here wanting to welcome too many refugees. Most of the non skilled migration to the U.K from non E.U countries is now relegated to asylum cases, family migration and students. The largest number of whom are students, mainly Chinese. The singling out of E.U migrants is not correct in my opinion but this is what is happening, perhaps because there is a perception that the U.K doesn't really have control or say in that matter and that anyone can come to the U.K, work here while claiming benefits for their children in their own countries then return.
I can certainly understand all of these points,however,this particular discussion escalated when a certain poster said that "most EU/EE migrants sit around,getting drunk and doing nothing".
