How much does each immigrant family actually cost us? At least �25,000 a year

We’ve had reports from the OECD, the EU and the (IMHO) grovelingly, sycophantic, self-serving Robert Chote’s ludicrously misnamed Office of Budget Responsibility telling us that immigration is good for the British economy and that immigrants contribute more to the country than they take in public services.

Of course, these reports are total garbage designed to cover up the fact that our governments have handed over control of our borders and our benefits system to a corrupt Communist (Barroso)�from completely bankrupt paedophile paradise Portugal.

So let me try to work out how much a immigrant family “contributes”.

I’ll take a family with 3 children. Let’s assume the man takes a low-paid job earning �15,000 a year in a supermarket or warehouse. He’ll be paying around �1,500 a year in tax and NI. That’s the family’s total contribution.

Now let’s see what they get for their �1,500 a year:

First�there�s Child Benefit. You get �20.30 a week for the oldest one and �13.40 a week for the other two. That�s��47.10 a week – �2,449.20 per year. So, this family is already costing almost twice what it contributes.

Then there’s schooling for the children. At around �3,300 per child, that’s another �9,900 a year.

There’s healthcare. The NHS costs us about �105bn a year which works out at around �1,600 for each person in Britain. For this family of 5, there’s another �8,000 a year. Most immigrants come from countries with pretty dreadful or even non-existent health services. They think they’re in healthcare paradise when they reach Britain and tend to make greater use of the NHS than British citizens. So, the real cost will probably be well above the �8,000 a year.

For a contribution of a mere �1,500 a year, this family is getting at least �20,349 in hand-outs and services.

Because the man is only earning �15,000 a year, I believe he will also get all kinds of tax credits and help to pay for a home and other benefits. But I haven’t got the exact figures for these yet. And there are other services like policing, social services, free schools meals and much more.

So, the idea that an immigrant family with one, two or even three children actually contributes to our economy is laughable. They cost us money – an awful lot of money. And they are�overloading our services such as the NHS and schools.

But should the immigrant family decide not to work – like most of Britain’s Somalis and at least 400,000 EU citizens�- well, here are all the benefits to which they’re entitled:

• Attendance Allowance
• Child Benefit
• Council Tax Benefit
• Disability Living Allowance�
• Guardian�s Allowance
• Housing Benefit
• Income Support
• Income-based Jobseeker�s Allowance
• Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit
• Carer�s allowance
• Reduced Earnings Allowance
• Severe Disablement Allowance
• Statutory Sick Pay

I did a quick, back-of-a-fag-packet calculation and reckon that we’re paying at least �20bn a year in benefits to unemployed immigrants.

So, have five million�immigrants been good for Britain? Ummm – not really, whatever our lying leaders claim.
