@jeremycorbyn As recent research shows, EU migrants are not a drain on Britain’s finances; they actually pay in more in taxes than they take out in state benefits. That contribution – valued at £2bn a year – is helping to fuel Britain’s economic growth.

Generally correct until we can validate and back ground check and exclude migrants from EU and others for criminal record most people will not accept open boarders ,just to get a balanced view look at the UK prison population over 6000 EU citizens in jail

According to this, only 4,600 EU citizens, less than half of all foreign nationals in prison & the non-EU foreigners have background checks done on them before entry to the U.K.https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.express.co.uk/news/uk/659620/Britain-prison-huge-rise-EU-convicts-150million-taxpayer/amp …

Ok I cannot dispute your figures mine were just a read figure,however if you do the percentages it is alarming,compulsory background checks and zero tolerance on admission and removal if crime of a level is committed ,we have enough of our own home grown criminals

Alarming? Only just over 0.1% of EU citizens living in the U.K. are in prison. Makes them a lot more law-abiding than British citizens.

A lot probably a slight exaggeration taking into account other nationals to many for law abiding citizens how many uk nationals are in EU jails ,the sad thing is we have the power to remove but it is rarely used

You should quit while you’re on the ropes. Oh and use google. Almost 5,000 EU citizens have now been deported from Britain in the last 12 months: the highest since current records began and an increase of 14 per cent in the last year alone.https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-latest-eu-citizens-deportations-rise-uk-home-office-referendum-a7935266.html%3famp …

We need to do more to secure our borders to ensure those who have no right to enter the U.K. & foreign criminals are kept out. Meanwhile the government are reducing Border Force funding making our borders less secure.
