This bollocks with the immigration rules is crazy. To anyone with a brain both the problem and the solution are obvious. We pay immigrants lots of benefits and we jail them if they try to work. Perhaps we might not have to do the first if we stopped doing the second. Nobody who travels thousands of miles to start a new life wants to sit on their arse claiming dole (apart from TS obvs). They want to work, so why don't we just let them?
I'm sure there are benefits changes we can legally make too. Like not giving child benefit unless your children also reside in the UK. (Or abolishing it altogether because children are horrid)
