Its because most of these people do self employment whether taxi or owning business/shops and they dont show their real earnings in order to save huge taxes. Its not easy to trace how much taxi drivers or business owners earn ..they are definitely not poor
You should keep burning in hate for non European immigrants but guess what ? Your views has no affect on immigration policies of UK or rest of the europe . right now they are fed up with Romanians and Bulgarians

The number of Romanian and Bulgarian workers in Britain has topped 200,000 for the first time, as the overall European Union immigrant workforce reached 2.1 million, official figures have shown.
There were nearly 300,000 additional EU residents in Britain in the latest data compared with a year ago, the
Office for National Statistics said -the largest annual rise since records began in 1997.
It represented a rise of 16 per cent in a year, and amounts to a devastating blow to the Government as it struggles to cut net migration to less than 100,000 a year.
Among
Romanians and Bulgarians - who controversially gained full access to the British job market on January 1 last year - the figures reached 219,000, a 30,000 increase year-on-year or 16 per cent, by birth rather than nationality.
he number of workers from the eight former Communist countries which joined the EU in 2004, including Poland, reached 982,000 between the end of July and the end of September - up 200,000 in just two years and another record.
However, the sharpest rise was among countries from the 14 "old" EU states such as Spain, Italy and Greece, which saw an increase of just under 19 per cent year-on-year.
It amounted to 140,000 people, bringing the "old Europe" total to 881,000 - again, the highest since records began in 1997.
The figures give further evidence of how the EU's free movement rules affect Britain's ability to control its borders.
The Government has renewed its commitment to cut net migration - the difference between those arriving and those emigrating - to the "tens of thousands".
David Cameron, the Prime Minister,
launched his EU renegotiation earlier this week with a speech in London and by sending a letter to Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, setting out areas for reform.
