I have never met an immigrant that claims anything - believe it or not, you can't just come here and claim things, you actually need to have a job.
To me it seems that many migrants that have recently came over maybe in the last 15 years or so just have children and claim benefits. Then the house or flat gets too 'small' so the government rehouses them into brand new developments.
One of my friends (who is somalian) has around 4 or 5 siblings, this dad is disabled so doesn't work which is fair enough But his Mum is perfectly fine but has to stay at home to look after the kids and her disabled husband. So no one in the house works but the council re housed this family into a brand new development.
So, you're saying immigrants are bumming off the system in Germany, France and the Nordics? Hopefully Glucorious hasn't interpreted your post in that way.
I wanted some evidence of that. I did not directly question the claims. I would have done this later. I keep asking for evidence and get nothing.

It is what they get, and help with their rent. But 50 pound a week is nothing. Electricity, gas, food, travel etc. The majority of people wouldn't choice to live of that, it isn't an easy life. Most people would rather work and take 1000 - 1400 pound (typical working-class wage) or more a month instead of 200! You need jobs out there though!

Typical response lol. Would you have welfare recipients go without food, electricity and gas then? People that even work low paid jobs get help with their rent.

I know that, silly.
