More desperate children currently in the care system will suffer as a result of such misplaced sympathy. Care should begin at home.

Take this UKIP ethos to another thread, I'm not getting bogged down with this.

There is no correlation, there are 1000s of factors that impact , to pinpoint one is scaremongering claptrap.

..I have to say, I don't see the correlation with this article/thread and open borders...I was going to comment on a contributory factor of homeless children being the lack of mental healthcare and social service care being a big thing but then realised this is about families..(with children obviously..)...being in temporary housing, so homeless and more than ever before...see that's the thing really for me, it never is so far as my personal experiences an 'either/or' thing...do we invest and focus on those who need now and who are already resident here...focus on that because 'that' will lose out with immigration...'that' doesn't get any investment either..it's just for me a redundant reasoning of any government to say ...well we wouldn't be able to help and address more if...'...when so little help and addressing is even considered without allowing more immigrants into the country.../anyways that was more again off topic because as I say, I don't see the correlation at all with the concern of so many families in temporary/B&B housing.../children need stability in their lives and that's a priority that seems to be slipping away...

Like it or not dumping hundreds/thousands of migrant 'children' on to an already struggling system makes a bad situation worse. Cannot deny it.

Define 'struggling'.

Really, does it need 'defining'? Thought it was pretty self-explanatory.
