So, what about their families? What if said skilled worker has a husband/wife who is unskilled, what if they have two teenage kids who are also unskilled? Immigrants are unfairly painted in a bad light, 99% of the ones I know are good hard working people, who, even if they are unskilled, contribute more to this country than some British people.

I agree with all you have said, but have you watched some of the benefit programs on Channel5? where you have whole Eastern European families not wanting to work, but only claim benefits? They can claim benefits in any other EU country, but why the UK? and why are the government allowing this when our own citizens are getting sanctioned for the least possible reason?

Except that if a family like that existed, they'd be booted out after three months if they couldn't find work....

Channel 5's 'documentaries' are sensationalist and shouldn't be used as evidence of anything ever. Their benefits programming is made just to bait people into getting mad by presenting to them the version of reality they want to see.

Oh like there's no such thing as trashy immigrants. Just like we have our own trashy types, they exist in all nationalities.

Sure, there's trashy immigrants (I can't remember saying there wasn't but oh well, any excuse for you to have a jab at someone I guess) but the law on immigrants claiming benefits is clear. The ones you see on C5 are likely playing up to the cameras for a pay day as with most of the 'subjects' of their 'documentaries'.

PLEASE don't shape your view of the world via a channel 5 documentary.
