But oh no, the UK does not bother to check when someone enters the country and then leaves our own benefit rules wide open to being taken advantage of.
So this is purely a UK problem in not following rules they could.
Oddly the number of immigrants to the UK has not changed, just fewer from the EU.

Today they announced that net migration from outside of the EU had actually increased

We only need people from abroad who can fill our skills gaps and the jobs the Brits don't want or who can demonstrably support themselves. Students would also be welcome while they were in college or university on limited stay visas. We need to consider under what circumstances people with family links to UK citizens can be allowed into the country as well.

Hmmmm, now, i wonder where in the world this attitude towards migration has been played out before, and how it lead to those people being treated........ Singapore is one country that instinctively springs to mind with it's treatment of migrant Bangladeshi workers. Can you name another?
Migration is not about creating a class system, it's about mutual integration,acceptance & tolerance.
