Data Source: Centre for Migration Control Mar 21, 2025
The failed multiculturism experiment is exposed by the Centre for Migration Control’s latest data (March 21st 2025) showing that there are over 1.15m foreign born individuals living in Britain who are claiming some form of working age benefit, including Universal Credit and housing support- meaning that they are a net drain on the country and making you poorer.
Figures drawn from the Nationality at point of National Insurance number registration of DWP working age benefit recipients, in 2019 reflects the trend of the preceding years although it is widely accepted that this figure has soared since 2019, the last available figures that CMC were able to extract from the government, who are increasingly unwilling to provide data that supports the reality that the multiculturism experiment has utterly failed.
The benefits include:
224,756 claiming “a combination of benfeits including out-of-work Universal Credit”
192,125 claiming “a combination including in-work Universal Credit”
467,036 (yes- nearly 1/2 Million!) claiming a combination including Housing Benefit
158,124 claiming other benefits
This looks bad enough, but when cross-referenced with ONS data, 40 country of origin groups in the UK have a higher benefit claim rate than the British population (107 per 1,000), proving that they are a net dis-benefit to the country and depressing GDP per capita.
When age adjusted to include working age of each country’s population, this graph morphs to
Since the figures in 2019, 1.3m people be given ILR (Indefinite Leave to Remain) or SS (settled status), a legal fiction created when the UK was running net negative migration. This allows migrants to effectively enter the queue for British citizenship….why? These figures includes 27,000 from Romania, 11,000 from Italy, 10,000 from Portugal and Poland, 9,000 from Bulgaria, and 4,000 from Slovakia, all EU members, so why are they in the queue for British Citizenship?
What does this cost?
In fact, sources at the DWP have advised that their collection process is so very poor that they have no idea how much is actually paid but according to toeCentre for Policy Studies, this amounts to received £7.6bn in Universal Credit (and this excludes foreign born individuals who have subsequently been awarded British citizenship). These people are consuming public services at an ever increasing rate and in September 2024, the OBR (Office of Budget Responsibility) – yes, the same body that the Governments use to justify tax and spending, admitted for the first time that low-wage migrants are a fiscal cost (even before we include welfare payments) at every stage of life, being a net cost on Health, Social care etc. (It was not possible to give an impact on Education as staggeringly no figures allowing this to be calculated were collected!
Just in relation to those people arriving under the ‘Boriswave’, The Centre for Migration Control has calculated that the costs of their dependants in the UK will amount to £35bn by the end of the decade, figures likely to be a significant undercount, and when in-work benefit (Universal Credit and Housing Support are taken into account then this adds at least £2,000-3,000, meaning a further bill of at least £1.3Bn or more. Add to that out-of-work UC or JSA ad you add a further non-welfare expenditure for migrants on benefits of £3.6bn.
…..and this figure does not take into consideration the cost of expenditure for the projected 196,866 further migrants who, since 2019, are likely to have begun a benefit claim or will do so in the foreseeable future or the benefits administered by HMRC, such as Tax Credits or Child Benefit, or those operating illegally in the UK.
In August 2024, The Centre for Migration Control identified that a record number of working age migrants (16-64), totalling 1.689m people, are “workless”, either due to economic inactivity or unemployment, something that has been going on since 2012 when there were 1.628m “workless”, either due to economic inactivity or unemployment – something costing the Treasury is around £8.5bn.
AND YOU WONDER WHY THE GOVERNMENT DOESN’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT
……AND YOU WONDER WHY EVERY YEAR, YOU FEEL POORER!
