sounds like a weird strawman. Do you know of any larger group seriously fighting for that at the moment?
(People coming for a scheduled interview are not "unrestricted immigration for looking for work")
The article also mentions a French woman who was detained for attending an interview for an internship, so I think there's that too.
Imo, it's obviously very unclear as to why they're being detained, but in the case of Eugenia (Spanish woman arriving to "look for work"), it was clearly illegal per the new law.
That said, I don't take it as a given that unrestricted immigration would cause problems; it has never been tried, there is no data to go on.
A breakdown is available here:

People complaining about immigrants claiming welfare have usually been lied to by the press about the applicable situation.
You're entitled to feel this way, but it's completely irrelevant to this discussion. It's a matter of fact that the Home Office says it's legal to enter without a visa to look for a job, and yet that's not what's enforced at the border.
I'm in the USA and this polemical strawman is standard fare on Murdoch's Fox News. It's just a lazy way of dismissing the issue without real discussion.
