Living on Universal Credit must be a hard existence, but to many immigrants this is a fortune compared to where they come from.
There is multiple evidence that people come here to take advantage of our welfare state.
As an example, this is why the Government are wanting to introduce enhanced ID checks for NHS users.

Sir James Dyson, the British billionaire inventor and outspoken Brexiter, is moving the headquarters of his vacuum cleaner and hair dryer technology company to Singapore.
The company’s chief executive, Jim Rowan, said the move from Wiltshire to Singapore had “nothing to do with Brexit” but was about “future-proofing” the business. The move of Dyson’s legal entity from the UK to Singapore “will happen over the coming months”, meaning it could happen before Brexit.

Luckily for Dyson, this is in place...

The European Union and Singapore today (16 December) announced that they have reached agreement on a free-trade deal, 33 months after they began formal negotiations.
This is the second free-trade agreement struck by the EU in Asia; the first – with South Korea – came into force in July 2011.
The EU began negotiations with Singapore in March 2010 after its hopes of lowering barriers with the ten-country Association of South-East Nations (Asean) were dashed in 2009, and Karel De Gucht, the European trade commissioner, said today he hoped the deal would “open the doors for FTAs [free-trade agreements] with other countries in the Asean region”.

I thought it was an opinion poll not a vote.

Nothing like brazen Brexit hypocrisy especially as he was claiming to speak for the thousands of British businesses that are hoping to manufacture in the UK after Brexit.

Re: Brexit
It's just business, nothing more. Move manufacturing to a country with low wages & long hours, build it cheap knowing the 'name' will sell it dear
edit: in fact it's a little like Range Rover & Slovakia

Of course it's business. It's just that one of the biggest business supporters of Brexit and how it will help British business is moving his British business out of Britain. It may not be because of the EU, although at the present rate he'll have better access to that market than he would here, but it's hardly a big confidence vote in this new dawn for British manufacturing he advocated for.

There is nowhere in the European Union where the cost of living is so low that Universal Credit can be considered a “fortune”; you’re also ignoring the fact they have to live on it HERE.
There’s little to no evidence of any of what you suggest and even where such little instances do happen removing EU migration and EU trade is somewhat using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
There’s no evidence the NHS will be better off when it has to take the time and effort to train staff rather than import them.
