genesis, exactly. i have no problem with immigration in general, but what has happened is, as you described, that the social system in being abused. Now, don't get me wrong, if somebody is in dire straits and needs this money urgently and has absolutely no other way of surviving, fine use it, that's what it is meant to be for. but many people do not even try to avoid taking this money. I think it should be that immigrants are only entitled to government handouts if they had paid taxes for at least 5 years.
And I think the tax authorities need to do closer checks on those owning businesses......
