Should Immigrants get FREE education?

[.Zi]

Well, my sister asked me my thoughts on this, and it made me thing, should they? Some people come to England just to get this free education which is costing the goverment more money, therefore causing reccesion ect.
My view on this is that Immigrants should be given a free education after 4-5 years of being in the country, and therefore, people wouldn't be coming to England for a free education because they would have to wait 4-5 years to get it.
Doing this would then keep down the numbers of illegal and legal immegrants, keeping Englands population lower, and also keeping the amount of the Tax payers money lower because they don't have to spend it on schools.
What are your views?

they should all **** off back to their own country and stop taking ours for granted.. not being racist or anything but it's beyond a joke now

Education is a right, not a privilege. People come to this country to give their children an education, you should be proud of a country where the high standard of education is one of it's main draws.

If they are paying taxes then yes, they should be entitled to free education like anyone else. If they've come purely to spunge off the state then there are many things that they shouldn't be allowed.

The only thing I have against the non-British living in this country is their rights to accept benefits and live off of our tax.

I really feel that If minorities want to live in our community, they should atleast have the decency to abide by natural law and find employment.

I'm really against that we're so open to letting people migrate to the country.

Yes but, theres so many of them, they just come to rape the country clean, if you know what I mean. They come to get everything to free and they think they dont abide by the law

I agree completely.

Agreee a bit too, I'm rather mixed on this.

I think its pretty clear, just turn the question around; would any other country allow foreign students to study there for free? - no.

If the parents are working in any sort of way, then yes. If not, then no.

everyone coming out with good points.

foreigners don't get free education - infact they pay alot more. My college accepts international students and fees are £7k/year and this is a state college. And that is without accommodation. For university they have to pay full fees because the local authorities won't pay. i'm not totally sure, but i think immigrants have to pay some fees for school if they've lived in the country for less than 3/4 years...
