A report has found that the British taxpayer has subsidised foreign students and “economically inactive” migrants without jobs to the tune of £36 billion over the past three years.

An analysis of the latest data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) by the Centre for Migration Control think tank has found that jobless migrants who entered the country legally have received £23.74 billion in support from the taxpayer since 2020.

According to the latest ONS figures, between October and December, an estimated 724,000 migrants were living in the UK between the ages of 16 and 64 deemed to be “economically inactive”, which the government defines as “people not in employment who have not been seeking work within the last 4 weeks and/or are unable to start work within the next 2 weeks.” This has risen from 623,500 in 2020, a 16 per cent increase.

It will cost a lot more as these dependents get to vote how much wealth they can take.

--- "Office for National Statistics"

Think they are understating the picture. Just like all the governments having said some version of Merkel's " wir schaffen es" (we can do this) and then some years' later, "oops."

Trust government(s)? Not such a wise idea, these days.

Germany.... 98% of ALL invaders are on welfare and do not work. The 2% that do have jobs work for government agencies or NGOs (funded by Gulf states) that ensure they get free stuff and islamize the nation.
