Ordinary hard-working people who are trying to pay the bills and bring up their kids

In Tuesday's Commons debate on the Immigration Bill, Robert Syms, the Conservative MP for Poole, said it was a very important subject:

We do not have to knock on many doors before ordinary hard-working people who are trying to pay the bills and bring up their kids start to moan about the immigration system.

We must praise Mr Syms for raising the bar several notches above mere "hard-working families".
