What I sometimes fail to understand is that most polticians say that all the majority of the immigrants pay all their taxes and put a lot back into the economy. Let us face it, a big majority of all immigrants will be on low wages and will claim tax credits and other benefits to make their wages up and will still not pay any income tax due to the increase in personal allowances. Then, most of these will be claiming child benefit for their children back home, plus they will be send the biggest part of their earnings back home to the families there. How is that benefitting our economy. The only person benefittiing is their employer.
