This simply just mirrors the hate lashed out at illegal/legal Latinos in the US.  Anyway, what can be done about the problem?  Anyway, it's interesting to note that Poles contribute more, than they take away - at least it seems to some, but this could be subjective.

However, it was always a simplification. Even early on, experts argued that the arrival of Poles and other nationalities had been a boon to Britain's economy. "This influx has benefited a wide swathe of regions and industries … by increasing the flexibility of the economy and spreading the burden on housing and local services," professor Peter Spencer, chief economic adviser to the Item Club, told the Telegraph in 2006. Another study from 2014 found that migrants contributed $7 billion more to the British economy than they cost in welfare.
