This explanation is even better than what I asked for! Do you know if increasing the minimum wage would stop people being so upset? I imagine this would funnel enough of the value immigrants are creating to the immigrants that they can pay tax in their local area, thus avoiding the "we're subsidising other parts of the country" problem – but I'm no economist. (The whole "pay a fair wage" thing has other benefits, but it might not solve this problem.)
