If they take a job that someone here could have obtained, any benefits to us by them coming here are negated because the person who didn't get the job remains on benefits.

Having said that, at least the ones who work (in legitimate jobs that is), are making an effort to contribute as opposed to the likes of those who live in London subways and openly defecate outdoors. That's when they aren't begging/stealing/mugging etc.
Massive generalisations going on there. Why not just do away with the welfare state as it’s obviously open to systematic abuse from English people too. Imagine having the audacity to pay tax and expect an NHS hospital to help deliver your baby.

Regarding social housing I’m sure we used to have plenty but something happened along the way...
