Which is obviously not the case

Correct, but most of them are

That's true, the barriers for legal immigration are high. But it seems a lot of people merely overstay their visas/permissions to stay or ask for asylum on alleged circumstances that are hard to prove. And also there is some welfare abuse, both from EU and non EU-nationals

Wales: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/cynwyd-town-i...

(local people get upset about migrants moving into their community and refusing to speak the language, only in this case the language is Welsh and the "migrants" are English-speaking. In this case the Welsh people are nearly always bilingual but would prefer to communicate in Welsh.)

The article you referenced is a nice view on what happens when the roles are switched
