Do you think the UK needs to be stricter on who it lets in?

So many people are let into the country and live off benefits and abuse our welfare system. Don't get me wrong I know plenty of brits abuse our welfare system as well but I have read about illegal immigrants who commit crimes, then are released and live in council houses on benefits! I think this is unfair, especially as I know someone who is an immigrant, works hard, has never been in trouble, and the government still give him a hard time with all the paper work.

What do you think? is this a problem in other countries?

Answer:
Most people who came to UK came from ex-colonies like India, Pakistan, ME countries and Cyprus. The welfare state of today ows much of its "welfare" to these ex-colonies which kept Britain's economy expanding, industrialising, growing to detriment of theirs. So, if Brits could go to these countries as they like, the people of those countries should also be able to come to UK. Fair is fair.
Yeah. Those damn Normans screwed up everything in 1066.
I think you have a good point.
NO
Yes, definitely. And it is a huge problem here in the U.S. too, of course.
Yes. Every country should be careful who they let in. I agree with the girl above (STACY). We do have a MAJOR problem in the US with that.
Yes and america should follow suit,,,We have had enough.
i think they need to be stricter on who they let out (namely Blair)
Yes I do, I be live the UK is long overdue for reform regarding this Issue. I see a time when the UK will not be able to address or halt any national security threat.

I also believe that the same goes for the US, Both countries need a realistic but firm and decisive Immigration laws to be put into practice.
