LABOUR MEP Richard Corbett gloats that the expected horde of East European immigrants to the UK from the new EU member states has not happened (Letters, June 17).

Not yet - but far worse has taken place, 26,000 illegal immigrants from Bulgaria and Romania have come here and that's a fact.

All the "Right's" fears are justified.
