They are contributing to the economy and providing a service. I just take issue with people moving here from poverty stricken countries for example because our state gives them £1000 a month in benefits, access to the NHS, and a free house to live in. "

That was just one example I used at the lower end of the scale. The conversation was about benefits and the drain on the economy so I am hardly going to discuss skilled foreign contributors because I had already stated I have no problem with that. Doctor's, engineers, company directors from Poland, or Eastern Europe working in the UK don't generally claim benefits. You picked out one sentence and made an assumption without using the context of the discussion. I said repeatedly I have no problem at all with immigration as long as it contributes to the economy and isn't abused because it offers free living.

Countries like Canada, Australia and America have stricter rules on immigration and I think the UK needs to take note of this. If a person offers absolutely no value to the UK, then what is the incentive to support them for free? We have created the problem which I also previously admitted. I hope you now understand
