migration

[Jun aka Pekto]

Very similar to the most cited reason why the Brits majority voted to leave the EU. They felt that they were losing their identity as Britain plus immigrants are using up medical and housing funds that should have gone to them.

Ironic given their propensity to take land from other nations during the days of the Empire.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But, I thought immigrant benefits that are considered "public funds" only applied to EU member countries. Those who were part of the "Empire" do not qualify for them, regardless. Brexit or no Brexit. Then again, there may be exceptions. Plus, there are housing benefits that are considered public funds.

My wife's cousin (along with hubby and kid) immigrated to England during the previous decade. They live in an apartment in London. When she gets some free time, I can ask her what benefits she received as a non-EU immigrant.
