if i were a normal couple, i'd try and see this as a challenge, rather than a battle lost.
e.g.
say there was a british born builder supporting an average sized family. perhaps an idea for this builder - whose wages have been lowered due to the willfullness of polish people to work for cheap - would be to try and rise above the bottom line which the new polish workers create.
work hard. rise up. become the best builder in the world. people will remember your good work and pay you more.
it's far too easy to place the blame on something - to resist change instead of working with it.
everything is always in flux. we were all immigrants once.
