Re: Unstoppable migration?
Quote:
MIGRANTS on benefits outnumber hard-working foreigners by two to one, says a report.
It dispels claims all migrants boost Britain, argues Migrant Watch.
The think tank’s research is certain to enrage leftie groups. It claims Britain has more than two million migrants with “strong economic characteristics”.
They are mainly from Western Europe, the US, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand or India.
But nearly five million “weaker” immigrants — mostly from Eastern Europe, the rest of Africa, Pakistan or Bangladesh — are in low-paid jobs or struggling to find work
They are much more likely to claim benefits. The full-time employment rate is 50 per cent for Indian-born men but just over 30 per cent for those from Pakistan or Bangladesh.
Migrant Watch’s Lord Green said last night it shows claims “implying all immigration is beneficial can’t possibly be right”.
