• A point to note re. immigration

    A friend pointed out to me that immigrants are entitled to benefits - he has no issue with immigrants working (taking jobs which people here won't do) but he has an issue with immigrants claiming benefits - he reckons that the country could be bankrupted by claimants.

    So the issue is not 'taking our jobs' per se; it may be 'taking our benefits'.

    I think it is a valid point but i don't have any stats to justify it.

  • claiming benefits

    It might be helpful to clarify which benefits - unemployment benefit, access to free health care?

    If they have been contributing via national insurance, then on a very basic moral level why should there be an issue?
