claims that the wave of immigration from Eastern Europe had enormous benefits
Maybe they should study the mass immigration from the Arab world. That is probably well into the red.

Instead, it was worth just 58p each week on the living standards of the native population – about the price of a Mars bar.I guess that translates to a Snickers bar here in the US.

The problem with Western Europe was that, when they started their industrial expansion in the 60s, Eastern Europe was still behind the Iron Curtain. No immigration from Eastern Europe could be expected. So, instead of going for quality, they went for trashy quantity.
This is not to accuse Europe of stupidity, because the same erroneous thinking took place across the Atlantic.

"'Economic benefits of mass immigration are close to zero', Parliament told(UK)"
Yes, but it's a way for local bosses to put their own neighbors in their place.
