Immigrants get benefits yes or no?

i am fuming! why the hell do immigrrants get benefits! I have just read in the people that romanians can come to this country and receive 15k worth of benefits in working tax credits and for children not even in this country... I am not rasist I just care about the welfare of this country. We only seem to help immigrants, people who cant be bothered to help themselves, and those who are single parents those who have a family have f all ! its not right all this politically correct bull s#it is driving me mad why cant we just express our feelings and have some passion about a country that used to be great. why will this probably be deleted because britains have no freedom of speech anymore! and how come so many feel the same yet we are powerless to do anything?

Legal immigrants are entitled to every benefit you are entitled. Illegal Immigrants are not contrary to what all the anti-immigrants are claiming.

Immigrants get benefits yes or no?

IM FUMING TOO. NOT RACIST EITHER, BUT THEY SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TAXES FOR AT LEAST 10 YEARS HERE IN UK TO BE ENTITLED TO ANYTHING, OR NHS TREATMENT. NO WOUNDER UK IS GETTING INUNDATED WITH THEM. ITS NOT UK ANYMORE, ITS A COUNTRY RUN BY IMMIGRANTS JUMPING ON SOAP BOXES WANTING THIER RIGHTS. ITS PATHETIC

Immigrants get benefits yes or no?

What do you think? Those greedy politicians are foolish.? Do not worry those politicians have many other ways to project that we are short of funds if they wanted to and you couldnot be able to anything about it. Illegal immigrants are just an excuse.

Immigrants get benefits yes or no?

It%26#039;s our own Governement%26#039;s fault - when asylum seekers first arrive in the country they are not permitted to work and they received benefits. This is ludicrous!! Most asylum seekers would be more than happy to work. I object to the comment about people who cannot be bothered to help themselves - most asylum seekers I know are very hard workers. Of course there are the illegal immigrants. Having said that - we need to blame our governement. I don%26#039;t blame anyone for moving to a place where they feel they will have a better life - but our government should be cracking down on immigration - legal and illegal. Australia does it along with many other countries - why not us?

Immigrants get benefits yes or no?

I am with you. In Australia I think you have to have worked or lived there 3 years before you can claim a penny. It%26#039;s a bloody free for all. I knew a working woman with a working husband and 5 kids in a small 2 bedroom flat and it took her years to get a house from the council. An immigrant family moved near her into a private rented place (paid for by the council) and got a house in two months again all paid for in benefits. Disgraceful. To the US person below: my adress bar says: uk.answers.yahoo.com.

And.. to the thumbs down people for me, you obviously have no bloody exerience of this!

Immigrants get benefits yes or no?

Some do, some don%26#039;t. I know that Nigeria pays the US 36 million dollars a year, so their students can come to the country and go to school, tax free.

Romanians are offered certain benefits because their country has deals in place with our government. I am not saying all of the deals that our government makes are above reproach (they are politicians after all), but sometimes it means getting money, imported goods, oil...

It can also mean that they are allowing us to install military bases in their country, which is a big deal maker.

Immigrants get benefits yes or no?

totally agree. GET BLAIR OUT

Immigrants get benefits yes or no?

Britain has gone to the dogs totally ... at the moment, Britain, Ireland and I think Sweden are the only countries who will allow Romanians and Bulgarians in immediately after their inclusion in the EU ... all other EU countries have put a moratorium of 2 years on immigration from those countries ... why didn%26#039;t Britain?? Come next election, get rid of the sorry excuses for leaders in the House of Commons ...

All immigrant in the USA get benefits. The ones that don%26#039;t and shouldn%26#039;t get any benefits are the illegal immigrants. You are loosing your country to the foreigners but you don%26#039;t want to listen, You are getting invaded and they will fight from the inside out.

Immigrants get benefits yes or no?

A huge majority of the money that this country pays in benefits goes to indigenous people. A large portion of that goes to British people who do not work, and have little incentive to work, or to those who unfairly claim incapacity benefit.

The reason people from other European Union countries can claim benefits here is the same reason that was can claim benefits in any of the other 24 member countries. There are restrictions to all of the claims, and in the main, eastern European immigrants are greatly helping the British economy by providing cheap labour, which increases corporate profits, increases tax flowing into the exchequer and enables the government to continue to fund public services (without quite as much borrowing as could have happened) to the great extent that they have been doing the last few years.

Just remember, it%26#039;s really not as simple an issue as the tabloid papers make it out to be, and while there are undoubtedly immigrant scroungers, in general there is a great benefit to economic migration.

Immigrants get benefits yes or no?

No way! Money is doled out to all the wrong people and when decent working folk need it it%26#039;s refused.Thats why I have stopped voting.It seems only fools work but I%26#039;d rather work than scrounge.

Immigrants get benefits yes or no?

Because they come here and get free medical aide for their children. There children are born here and they get free aide. They use identity theft to get social security numbers so they can get welfare. It happens every day here in AZ. There are lots of them being supported by our tax dollars in our jails and juvie jails too. This is the truth. I just realized you are talking about Great Britain but it is true for America too with all the illegal immigrants from Mexico stealing from us.

Immigrants get benefits yes or no?

No they don%26#039;t get benefits unless they have worked for at least 2 years and paid into the system. So please get your facts right before mouthing off, chances are that a big percentage of you on this page are British and milking the system yourselves. And yes I am British, I work, I pay my taxes and am also a realist.

Hey no need to fume, enjoy a cigerette and relax. :)

Immigrants get benefits yes or no?

I%26#039;ve paid into the system for 20 years. I became unemployed due to illness. I was thrown off incapacity and now live on 鎷?7 pounds per week. After 6 month i have to live off my savings to support myself assuming i don%26#039;t get a job by then. From day 1 they get more than i ever had. This country is ****! And yes i%26#039;m bitter!

Immigrants get benefits yes or no?

I%26#039;m sick of qualified people being turned down for jobs because the employer prefers to employ a Pole who%26#039;ll do the same job for 鎷?.50 an hour (Most Brits couldn%26#039;t live on that with Council Tax, Mortgage/Rent etc).

Myself and my partner live on the breadline but claim no benefits - I was even told I couldn%26#039;t get incapacity Benefit when I was sick because I%26#039;d worked part time for a few months 4 years ago and apparently %26quot;hadn%26#039;t made enough Nat Ins contributions in this period%26quot;. As my partner worked more than 16 hours a week i couldn%26#039;t get income support either!! How the hell my BF was supposed to look after us both on his 25 hour a week min wage job god only knows!! The woman at the benefit office couldn%26#039;t answer this.

So why are these people who havem%26#039;t even paid Nat Ins or tax being allowed to scrounge money off the system? Why are they coming here taking jobs and making things harder for the people who have been here all their lives?

I%26#039;m SICK of left wingers and liberals defending these people! You idiots should try walking a day in my shoes and the shoes of people I know who can barely put food on the table or keep a roof over their heads!
