I read somewhere an example of a 27 year old Polish woman had paid more tax in the UK in 2 years than an entire family of British born benefit claiming citizens had paid in 50 years.
So immigrants are not the problem! It's mostly British families it seems where mom, dad and all kids Jump straight on benefits. Where you have kids that have never seen mom or dad go out to work, then you see immigrant families with both parents working hounded for claiming a little back, it's heart breaking.

European immigrants aren't the problem as far as welfare goes indeed. They have, and continue to, pay more in than they take out.
Some other immigrant groups are consuming a lot of resources but for whatever reason nothing is done beyond to continue welcoming them.
A more contributory welfare system across the board would be great.
