They're on benefits because they're not allowed to work. They're not crossing the world and risking their lives for a HMO in a run-down seaside town! The sooner they get processed, the sooner we can empty the hotels and the sooner they start paying taxes.
They come to the UK largely because they can speak English and have connections here. It's a side-product of our colonial past.

Once they're working there's immediate benefit as they're paying taxes. If you've travelled half-way across the world and don't have your parents to fall back on and an inheritance to look forward to, you generally work harder than someone who does.
