I won't stop the drain on national resources, but thats a whole different issue....
which immigrants gets benefits ? , they are not allowed 'recourse to public funds' only those who have at least ILR can claim anything, and if you earned your ILR on a work permit, you paid at least 5yrs of tax and NI so your entitled to it, just like the Europeans who come to work here, but they only have to work 1yr here to be able to claim benefits.
