[They send a lot of their money home, so how is this benefitting Scotland?-ed]
MIGRANT workers are here for one main reason - money.
They can earn several times the wages doing menial jobs, rather than stay at home doing much more skilled work.
Often, they are vastly overqualified for the jobs they do.
And many have two and, sometimes, three jobs.
Despite scaremongers, they have little impact on the benefits system, with few becoming a burden on the state.
On the contrary, the overwhelming majority make a big contribution to the economy by paying taxes on the money they earn here.
Recent figures for 2005-06 illustrate the numbers of state benefits to be minuscule.
