I think the woman in question meant : How are they all coming in to her town , im sure she is fully aware eastern europeans erm come from eastern europe.
My philosophy is this.
If i wanted to move to another country i would work expect to work pay taxes speak the language and embrace my new country's culture.
The problem we have here is that we have :
Immigrants moving on towns on mass (ala rochdale) etc
They want to exist in the little bubble, meaning they only really talk to people and family friends from there own country who they have moved with or befriended.
They do not want nor do they care about a british way of life history culture.
They have no respect that they are in a foreign country as they know that any slight against them will be deemed racist and they know the rules of the system inside out.
I have no doubt that if every immigrant/asylum seeker was only given housing or help on the basis that they learn the language and history and were available to work and pay taxes for there own housing and families that we would not have a problem with them and atleast half would leave.
As an example i used to work in pest control and did a lot of cockroach jobs in east london for asian families. The truth is that houses were over populated un- sanitary and more often than not the children translated for the adults some of which had lived here for 30 years + and dont speak english. Some how though they can call the council for a pest visit claim benefits and housing . That is so wrong.... and that is why there is racism in this country.
Its the same for most cultures , English in Spain , ardent Welsh in England ;) . Russian in Georgia , Japanese invaision of China (i mean rape cmaps tsk). There will alwasy be an assimilation and mixture of cultures, of which the privileging or (most likely) easiest to adopt will win.
T hats a fault of the Asain caulture they do it every where and are so ingrained you must care for the rest of teh family irrespective of practical considerations (and also where they came from your description was propably still a step up). The pest control part is just practical or cockroaches will spread.
People do not want to leave their country of origins and travel 1000 of miles unless they really have to or to improve their lifes , a nother point most didn't get to here is a lot of these people want to go back but lacking money and education they can't . Also language speaking English is just about one of the hardest languages for a non native to learn.
Economic migrants leave their countries because their economies can't support them and not all of that is caused by the population or their governments
