A lot of the people here are mistaking immigrants for illegal immigrants. A massive majority of immigrants that are here legally do work even if they receive benefits, which is no different to any of our own parents getting whatever money they get for having you lot in education while they work or whatever other benefits they might be getting. I don't think anyone would seriously suggest that we should open our doors to anyone who wants to come here and "take" our money without working, but bringing up a whole generation of uneducated persons just because their parents weren't born here is not only ridiculous as a principle but stupid in terms of a sustainable future for the country
^^Thats my beef.
so yes, immigrants should get free education after say 6 months of paying taxes
If they pay taxes, then yes...there's no reason for them not to receive a free education if they or their parents pay taxes..
So we should charge little 11 year olds for their education, even though other little 11 year olds born in England might also move out of the country at some point in time:rolleyes:...Quote:
