This is a very misleading tweet, whoever tweeted this should have indicated the set of migrants being referred to.
This is why an average British person is ill-informed about so many things, because of pages like this.
1. A legal migrant has no recourse to public funds. S/he cannot access any form of aid, their children got no free hours in nursery, no benefit of any kind.
2. A legal migrant paid for IHS (health surcharge- to cover them if they have to use the NHS). (can be up to £5,200)
3. A legal migrant paid visa fees (can be up to £1,000)
Now, listen to this part:
3. If the legal migrant is a student, s/he pays between £13,000 and £20,000 as school fees CASH (you can multiply that by the thousands of students so you can know how much influx of money that is).
During their study year, they cannot work more than 20 hours per week, and the only thing they’re excluded from is council tax. It’s sensible because they barely work to pay their rent and other bills.
4. A legal migrant pays rent to their landlords, pay water bill, council tax, electric/gas bill, tax, etc. They’re not excluded from any single thing.
There’s literally nothing a legal migrant enjoys. They contribute same thing like every other citizen and don’t even get anything in return, no recourse to public funds.
Pages like that of the Home Office do not post such info, they don’t do any justice in informing people, that’s why when you engage an average Brit, they just think you’re the problem.
I mean, I’ve got dozens of British friends and when I tell them these things, they’re in shock. They’re not aware of so many things, they also just think EVERY MIGRANT IS THE PROBLEM.
Do I blame them? Not really, because they rely on the media, and the media feeds them with propaganda. For instance, tell me what it’ll take for this post to include “illegal migrants”.
They know what they’re doing. Keep the British populace uninformed.
@IJOBAFUFU Walahi I cannot take us serious again. Someone that doesn't know his bearing yet want to be gaslighting people with his acquittance that earns £25k per week o ga ooooooooo
