I met a 16 year old girl in Peterborough who applied for a job on a packing line and was told she couldn’t get a job because she didn’t speak Polish

There you go. There's a reason for you. Amazingly enough it was right there in the article. I can't think why you didn't see it.

The Poles are very welcome - but they have to speak English and they have to come as guests, not as invaders. Don't you have similar issues in the US?

Fair enough, they need to encourage people to adapt, and speak the native language. And it is true that most Poles go to the UK to make some money and then ultimately return to Poland, so the question is, do they plan to assimilate or not? Most Mexicans that come here do not have any plans to return to Mexico. But Poles may wind up proving to be a critical ally in the fight against the real enemy, so I question if they should be the primary targets of the UKIP's legitimate beefs with immigration policy.
