Merged: Benefit system overhaul.

How would you like to see Britain's benefit system overhauled for EU migrants?

A) Stop paying EU migrants benefits if they leave the country.
B) Make them pay to use the NHS.
C) No social housing.
D) Stop letting them use our schools if they speak no/little English.
E) Pay them benefits but only 13% of what British nationals get.

In response to Cameron's recent pledge.

Let's do what the French have done.. Let them claim benefits but only 17% of what British nationals get, don't give them social housing, and make them pay to use the NHS.

It will stop UKIP stealing Con votes!

Grubas,

We must do what the French do. The EU will sue us but it will be cheaper then houses and benefits for EU migrants.

Time to stop being a soft touch.

David Cameron is finally going to do what the French have done and that is screw EU laws and stop bending over for immigrants.

It isn't right that a British persons benefits are being cut when will still give handouts to migrants.

Be happy, DC is going to stop this soon.

Nope.

Unless they've paid tax for 3 years the immigrant should have to pay for any NHS services. (Upfront payment)

Everyone over on the Telegraph wants this to happen, as do a lot of people on the Guardian.

If lefties want this to happen as well, I think Dave may be onto something big.

Defied EU law.

EU migrants benefits have been cut to 17% of what French nationals get and they've limited public services for EU migrants.

I never thought I'd say this but we need to be more like the French.

I wish Francois Hollande was our PM :-)

Can I also add that EU migrants in France aren't given homes for free, instead they're left on the streets.

Will we do it? Yes. David Cameron needs to keep UKIP of his back.

Good news yeah?

Read this as well.

I think we can all agree it would be best for the country if this happened.

Err the Independent?

And its for ALL immigrants.

A source isn't necessary anyway since it is already implemented in France and will hopefully be implemented here as well.

:-)

What are you rambling about? France has loads of EU migrants, they just don't have an absurd amounts of Poles like we do.

It is for all immigrants, so don't argue that please.

Oh, I'm mistaken then, but it was considered right?

Our government are looking into EU benefit tourism/abuse and they cite France as an example.

I agree though, immigrants should only get benefits after years of residency and tax paying.

I agree completely with everything you posted.

I really wish the EU didn't accept poor countries like Poland, Romania, Bulgaria.. Ect

They oversaturate an already crowded job market. It's not just Poles though.

As Warszawette said, immigrants should only be given jobs if the locals can't do them.

Doesn't make it right though.

I hope Cameron cuts benefits, housing and health for immigrants, being sued by the EU will much cheaper then supporting immigrants.

If David Cameron cuts benefits massively for EU migrants I can see his popularity booming, which can only be a good thing.

He should start by stopping all benefits going to other countries because that's just stupid beyond belief.

Should David Cameron and François Hollande make it so you need to have lived in Great Britain and France for 7 years (like Spain) before you can claim anything?

British and French nationals wouldn't be affected, obviously.

The British and French benefit systems are too easy for EU immigrants to exploit, it needs to be sorted.

Iaine Duncan Smith wants immigrants to have lived in Britain for at least a year before receiving any benefits.

Not long enough?

telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/immigration/9876143/Immigrants-must-live-in-Britain-for-a-year-before-claiming-benefits-says-welfare-minister.html

It is true because in Spain everyone has to have lived there for seven years including nationals.

What IDS is suggesting is better.

It will screw benefit claiming migrants without hurting British people, so it's win win.

They just need to make it apply to everyone and our problems will be no more!

Strict benefit laws in Spain, do we need laws like that to stop EU benefit tourism?
