Immigrants More Likely To Claim Benefits, Be Jobless Or On Low Wages, Says Report

By David Barrett, 21 Jul 2015 Foreigners are more likely to be claiming benefits, be jobless or in low-wage work, according to “ground-breaking" research which contradicts rival claims that immigration is good for Britain's economy.

MigrationWatch, the pressure group which campaigns for tougher immigration rules, said five million foreigners have “weaker” economic performance than UK-born residents.

• New immigration figures prompt 'back door to Britain' fears Those who are either not working, lower-paid or claiming hand-outs outnumber by two to one the foreign nationals whose economic contribution is higher than the average for UK-born people.

Immigrants from eastern European nations which have joined the EU since 2004 are more likely to be in work than native Britons but are more likely to be claiming benefits or be on low pay, the report said.

Whoops! Barry and his ‘RATS aren’t going to like this. It doesn’t fit their racial profile of the illegal alien invaders.

Here in CA we have been flooded with Mexicans. Cost of education alone into the billions a year.

Everywhere you go, Hispanics working most of the jobs.
TV news pointed out before the Hispanic invasion a butcher was paid $19 an hour, now $9. Now you can’t get some of the jobs without speaking Spanish.

Went to Boston on the 4th. No Hispanics pretty much. Lots of blacks and others working that we don’t see working here in California.
The illegals are taking mostly the black’s jobs, throwing many of them on welfare or making them go for disability and we get a double whammy because of it.

We need to cut the dole, verify legality and penalize employers. End of the BS.

Took my wife 22 years to come here legally, this is BS that because Mexico is next door that all their folks and terrorists who use the border can just come and go.

nearly 75% of ALL imigrants- legal and ILLEGAL, are on some form of government assistance- some to the tune of $45,000 a year as they soak our government and the people of this country for all we’re worth-

The majority of Illegals are NOT coming here to work- contrary to lie told by lefties- they are coming here to immediately go on welfare and sit around their government paid for apartments drinking beer all day- then going out for a drive In their stolen vehicles to kill an average of 15 people PER DAY- nearly 5,500 innocent people every year die from illegals driving drunk

Illegals are costing this country in excess of 200 BILLION dollars per year- and some put the figure closer to 400 BILLION when all the damage and lawsuits and things like therapy for victims etc are taken into account!

But but but... I thought they ‘just wanted to come here and do the jobs no one wants to do’?

NOPE! NOT the vast majority of them!

Some prisons have nearly 75% ILLEGALS In them- costing taxpayers an average of $140 PER DAY PER INMATE

Contrast that with how much many of our seniors/disabled/veterans get- some living on as little as $15 a day- and that has to go towards EVERYTHING- food, heat, clothes, bills etc-

Keep courting illegals Jeb- Rubio- and ilk- Ya’ll are NO different than the left!

Oh, and now it’s estimated that a million or more illegal MUSLIMS are coming across our border every year? Yeah GOP- keep courting illegals- Dolts!

“Immigrants More Likely To Claim Benefits, Be Jobless Or On Low Wages”

That’s because we allow people to come live here without the proper screening.
