I would be happy to welcome people in. It must take a great deal of courage and no small measure of desparation to leave your homeland with nothing. Let people come, let them find work and contribute to society (as the vast majority want to but are prevented by immigration laws).
The NHS and public transport in Britain would never have been as successful as it was had it not been for people coming here to work - immigrant labour helped to build and run a good deal of our services.
As far as these people being a 'drain' on society goes, many of these people have skills that could be put to use in our public services which are understaffed. They would then be earning money and pay taxes. They would buy more goods. Although we are entering a period of recession at the moment, the birth-rate in northern Europe has fallen to the extent that, come the next period of growth, we will not have the labour force required to run anything like the services we need.
Welcome immigrants of all kinds, we need them.
