Evan Davis presents a program exploring the effects of immigration in the UK by focusing on Wisbech, a town in Cambridgeshire.

Since 2004 this once prosperous market town has received up to 9,000 immigrants seeking work - the majority from Eastern Europe. But with nearly 2,000 locals unemployed and claiming benefits, many of them blame the foreign workers for their predicament.

To test if the town needs so many foreign workers, immigrant employees are temporarily removed from their jobs, and the work given to the local unemployed. Now the town's British workers have a chance to prove they can do it.

Eleven British unemployed workers are recruited to go into a range of different Wisbech workplaces including a potato company, an asparagus farm, an Indian restaurant and a building site run by a local landlord.

Moving beyond the workplace, Evan Davis investigates how the town's local public services, such as schools and the NHS, are coping with the demands of the new arrivals.

As the British unemployed workers get to grips with their new jobs, this documentary examines the facts and dispels the myths around the subject of immigration.

Too many people blame the outsiders when things are not going well. They turn on the people who stand out. Instead of blaming the banks, the FSA, the government and so on for the situation the economy is in, people instead blame migrants who are simply trying to earn money and find a better life.

@JacobTheIndoAmerican There's nothing like eastern european cultural consolidation, but if there is, Poland is in Western European cultural group because of roman catholic religion which influenced art and philosophy in Europe.

@MegaLongshaft I am a foreigner planning to go and work in England but I have the right to because I have been an English man in my past life and have been reincarnated. In this life I was born half Latvian half Polish but before my reincarnation I was English that's why I is going back to me roots.

I'm probably much older than most of you, I more than likely have a hell of a lot more life experience and have access to factual data. This is why I can have the opinion that I have. To all you students and youngsters out there, get an education, get trained up and then try and get the hell out of this country. Labour have wrecked it and it will only get worse, a lot worse. The Middle Class that keeps a country up is being wiped out, jobs are going to foreigners, there is no future here.
