Caring Britain? No! Stupid Britain! If people come here with more than one wife, they should be responsible for them - that's why we should object to this. Personally, I don't believe that anyone who hasn't been here for some years should receive benefits. If they can't keep themselves and their families, we shouldn't allow them to come.

That seems like a sensible idea em
but what would happen if someone immigrated here, got a job, house etc, then after three years suffered an accident?
When they are discharged from hospital (assuming your system would allow them access to health care rather than just leaving them lying injured on the street) but unfit for work, would you
a) step over them as they live and beg for food on the pavement?
b) have the ambulance crew stretcher them straight onto a plane back to where they came from?
c) have an expensive tribunal system to separate the 'deserving' cases from the rest; who would then be destined for a) or b)
Or have you thought through a different solution?

<just let everyone in and paid them benefits>
maf
as far as I know, that is a long, long way from the current situation.
IMO the criteria for entry should be based on a clearly defined estimation of whether someone will make a positive contribution to our society. and entry for family and dependents also strictly defined and limited.
As you might have noticed, my post was a response to the idea of <5 years here before you can claim any benefits at all>
And i was suggesting that once people have been admitted, an arbitrary restriction on access to benefits was unworkable.
