Reports kept under wraps by Labour showing that immigrants who came to Britain from Romania and Bulgaria had low education levels and were more likely to claim out-of-work benefits are to be released for the first time by ministers.
The figures are contained in five separate controversial studies commissioned by the last Labour government but never published - amid claims the party wanted to avoid a damaging row about its record before last year’s general election.
Ministers accused Labour of a “disturbing cover up” and promised to publish the reports - which cost the taxpayer a total of £165,000 and have now been seen by The Sunday Telegraph - in full within days.
The documents also contain revelations that immigrants are less likely to engage in any form of “civic participation.”

Between a rock and a hard place.
You can't do anything about immigration while in the current agreement with the EU.
The Tory failed promises about immigration have actually cost us,as the only people they can hit re non EU citizens.Given the mess the EU is in these are often people who can actually help pour economy,while the EU gypsys continue to abuse the system freely.
