It might also increase prices as companies will have to increase labour costs. You could argue this is beneficial for society as a whole, to lift UK people out of relative poverty, and stop the drain of people from countries like Poland.
Again, it's all about priorities. I've yet to hear a policy that actually benefits "all".
