I would rather we put our unemployed to work first and foremost, nothing wrong with that from a logic or financial POV surely? Local unemployed earning will put money back into the local economy as well how can that be a bad thing.

If there are not roles for illegals to fill then they will struggle to make ends meet here and the UK will not appear such a good place to 'aim' for.

But these jobs are open to local unemployed and they don't take them. So now what? Make it compulsory that they go to work?

Hi cookie
Possibly because they are thought to be the worst offenders for stashing cash under the mattress. I doubt any of us will ever know though

Are you saying jobs for and illegals, often in fast food and cleaning/cleansing likely below or just above min wage some not not paying tax and NI are advertised in the job centres?
I do feel this is an unlikely scenario

I think you will find a lot of the jobs at these levels in takeaways restaurants, etc. are not always advertised and yes i would rather see people working for benefits rather that sat at home - wouldn't you?

Where's the nearest cash point - is usually my reply.

Exactly, we all benefit that way
