“Why should an immigrant arrive in this country, claim job seekers and be given a council house”

That doesn’t happen, it’s a BNP lie.

At least do the research before posting BNP lies.

If the above happens show the evidence, do some research and post some official sources that show new immigrants get JSA etc… I’ve done this research and they are not entitles to benefits.

General Election 2010 Poll Results

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/5384516.stm It’s from 2006, but makes interesting reading especially as we know entrance to the UK is now harder.

It certainly dispels the myth that immigrant workers claim benefits and take council houses. Out of ~6000 claims from migrant workers for JSA/Income Support only 700 were deemed eligible. That’s for a 2 year period with up to a potential 400,000+ (600,000+ if self employed workers who don’t register are included in estimates) registered migrant workers: note it’s unlikely all those who registered to work here actually came to Britain, but if we assume 300,000 did work here only 700 claimed JSA/Income Support out of 300K.

That proves the vast majority of migrant workers pay their way while they live here. You might not agree with so many migrant workers taking jobs in Briton (I also have an issue with it), but the idea they are sponging off the system is total BS, they contribute to the economy.

It also says the vast majority of migrant workers are being paid close to the minimum wage. Why are British born workers not taking these jobs? I agree with the premise it would be better if British born workers took more of these jobs as 2.5 million claiming JSA is bad for the economy.

If the BNP claims are so right why do they make up lies to support their warped ideas all the time?
