It is just electioneering bullsh*t
// Britain will have the highest employment rate of any major world economy, David Cameron will promise, as he says Britain will be the ‘jobs factory of Europe’ by limiting immigrants’ access to welfare.
David Cameron will promise “full employment” for Britain, as he announces a series of manifesto commitments designed to reduce unemployment to the lowest among the G7 countries.
As well as committing to control immigration, the Prime Minister will promise to lower the benefit cap, as he insists that Britain is “coming out the other side.” //
In other words, vote foe us instead of UKIP because we will tackle immigration, even though our record for the last 5 years is abysmal.

The “jobs boom” of the last two or three years is smoke and mirrors. Most of the jobs created are of the low paid low skilled variety. Most of the people doing them receive in-work benefits (i.e. so-called Tax Credits) to supplement their income. It clearly costs the taxpayer money to sustain these jobs and in many respects we’d be better off if they were not created (and so did not need to import cheap labour to do them).
The population of the UK is slowly but surely being swapped. The misleading “Net Migration” figures show that around 220,000 were added to the population last year. In fact over 530,000 people arrived to settle here. Most of them will have little wealth and (if they work at all) will take low paid low skilled jobs of the type that dominate the “situations vacant” columns. Accordingly they will need considerable support from taxpayers to enable them to make ends meet. Meanwhile those leaving will be predominantly of higher wealth and/or higher skilled with greater earning power.
This is the sort of “jobs factory” that the last two administrations have created here in the UK. The notion that people coming here to pick vegetables add value to the economy is ludicrous.

The UK is not being swamped. (I assume that's what you meant).
Our cities are getting crowded, because we cannot build anywhere else.
We need more new houses, we need the jobs to build them. But we cannot do because 70% of UK land is used for agriculture. Yet agriculture adds just 0.5% to our GDP. And we still have to import more that 40% of our food. And we have to pay farmers huge amounts in subsidies.
Our housing crisis and strain on our cities could be eased by if we build more towns and cities for people to comfotably live. Instead we cram all the people into 30% of the area and grow beetroot on the other 70%.

in raw economic terms, that's true. but don't forget (as the last labour administration did, witness their reaction to the 2001 F&M outbreak), the tourist industry needs farming to keep the countryside looking nice for the tourists.
nobody will take their tourist dollars to a once-beautiful part of Britain that's now covered in 10,000 "affordable" boxes.
