I'm sorry, but have you really honestly been impacted by this?

Have you applied for a job and been told that they don't want you because there's a cheaper immigrant available?

Have you had a job and been replaced by an immigrant?

Yes: his wage is artificially depressed by "market conditions" due to the willingness of foreign workers to make less. This is especially harmful to entry level developers who haven't had time to build up a niche/profitable specialty.

I do not see this "market conditions" in the UK.

Yes. I see fewer offers coming up and at lower rates.

I also saw a few jobs of colleagues not renewed and replaced by immigrant teams supplied by a big consultancy.

If this trend continues, I'll be looking at retiring early or moving overseas.
