Huh? So do they work hard or not?
What exploding birthrate? Most estimates I've seen project birth rates at 1.8 per woman - definitely below replacement.

I do recall just recently some stats issued to show that UK East European birth rates were much higher than that. Also average birth rates are not really the answer given that the majority of recent immigrant population appears to go to defined places. There was a Channel 4 prog a couple of weeks ago and one area highlighted was around Boston Lincs where the veg growers there were using immigrant labour for picking . Other areas recently highlighted were in and around Slough and Cambridge
