Well as immigrants who have arrived since 2000 are 43% less likely to receive state benefits and tax credits than natives and 7% less likely to live in social housing maybe we should be encouraging more emigration to fund the NHS
Depends who says so,show the link,most things can be manipulated to show what the payee wants it to say. for example tell me the percentage of Brits claiming benefits for families living abroad compaired to EU born citizens.Think it would be catastropic to your argument
Maybe if it wasn't for the millions of EU immigrants we wouldn't need lots of extra NHS workers just saying.
dbc, is that article by the same guy who said migration from eastern Europe would be 5000 - 13000 a year when it was actually 200000 a year between 2004 and 2009
God you’re thick Chesh It’s people like me who are swamping the nhs with our old git illnesses. Young immigrants pay tax, pay national insurance (unlike me), do jobs that no Brits want to (unemployment rates are lowest since forever), and apart from maternity’s make little claim on the nhs If you want to cut nhs costs, I recommend compulsory euthanasia for the over 70’s (but FFS don’t tell your mate Jeremy CHunt as he’d probably do it)
So published by 2 guys who's job seems to be,justifying migration to the UK.Like asking Ukip to do a report on migration.
Not family benefits but for JSA seems to be roughly the same 2.2% for EU citizens in the UK and 2.5% for UK Citizens in Europe - https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/jan/19/-sp-thousands-britons-claim-benefits-eu And as pointed out we tend to import younger healthier working migrants who are less pressure on our NHS than what we export to say Spain https://www.economist.com/news/brit...-and-exports-creaky-old-ones-balance-ailments
What do the many thousands in the Jungle camp know that you don't And what we export to Spain tend to be wealthy retired people.
yes the same one Prof Christian Dustmann believes none can have read his 2003 report. He said it made clear immigration would be much higher if, as happened, Germany and other countries decided to curb access to their labour markets. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-21682810
But the 13000 figure was still the one labour used to show the number of immigrants coming the UK for work would be low.
Typical "academic", say something is going to happen, but cover himself with different scenarios just in case he gets it wrong, then blame someone else.
