    And with the reason for criminal activity often stated (on Reddit) as being due to poverty it makes sense to reduce the amount of potential future criminals.

    In other words high levels of low skilled immigration has increased child poverty in the UK. Entirely predictable outcome, probably a necessary outcome for our current neoliberal economic model.

    Might have been cheaper if they stayed where they were. Who wants to pay our prices for housing, energy, fuel and food?

    many of these people will get ILR this or next year, and can start claiming benefits 

    which labour wanted to avoid but seems like thier backbenchers are not allowing that.

    That seems like a very predictable outcome of allowing millions of people with no assets or skills to move here.

    So the naysayers have a valid concern when they dare to query the long term impacts caused by uncontrolled immigration?

    Not only does country need to bring in immigrants to drive the economy, it also needs to bring them in to give them benefits to reduce their poverty. A solution for everything!

    The positives that are banded about very often for mass immigration from the left are looking worse every report at this point.

    So what is all this net benefit talk shoved in my face for the past decade?

    I know this may sound harsh but the government doesn’t care but regular people do and they’re donating to local charities and local food banks which will help these kids and families out but the problem is more and more poor immigrants are coming into the country and local resources are getting even more stretched and regular people are being asked to donate more or help more which isn’t fair on them.

    Of course I’m not saying it’s a bad thing because no kid or person should have to go hungry no matter where they are in the world but sometimes you need to draw a line and say sorry that’s all we can do for now.

    There is also the issue with serious over crowding in some schools.

    Maybe they should be sent home ? They won’t be in relative poverty there.

    Things simply won’t last like this its pretty simple. Iran war means costs across the economy are going up, pension spending will be up again next year, overall spending up again and taxes to boot.

    Not looking good

  13. If anyone is wondering why the roads are fucked

    Dealing with this poverty sucks up council budgets, and leaves fuck all left for non-statutory stuff like roads!

    The article gives the reasons for poverty as:

    – No access to benefits (NRPF status)

    – High VISA and other fees

    With Labour increasingly on top of the mass migration numbers (with some models showing net migration might even go negative this year), I think it is worth reviewing this.

    Growing up in poverty is going to have life-long consequences for these kids as they become part of British society. We can spitefully say that was the choice of their parents, or we can accept that this affects us all. Part of demanding integration is allowing integration.

    But also, way less poverty than they’d be in overseas.

    Huge differences in the definition of poverty between countries – and to apply the UK definition to somewhere like India would have 60%+ of the entire population in poverty.

    At this point those Labour backbenchers voting against their own party are just like the tories, willing to ingore evidence, the will of the people and their best intrests just because of their out of touch ideologly

    So migrants from the third world have a low income potential? Who’d have thought it.

    It’s worth actually reading the full report.

    Interviews with parents reveal a number of barriers to escaping poverty while navigating the immigration system.

    • Legal barriers: Prolonged settlement routes, unaffordable visa renewal fees and NRPF have had a direct impact on families’ financial security.

    • Practical barriers: Unemployment and underemployment, lack of access to childcare and substandard living conditions create additional challenges for families living in poverty.

    • Social and relational barriers: Social isolation, stigma, language barriers and relationship breakdowns further isolate families from support systems and deepen financial hardship.

    • Institutional barriers: Gatekeeping, discrimination, and inefficient Home Office decision-making keep families in the immigration system for longer periods, which exacerbates their financial struggles.

    > children in migrant families, many of whom were born in the UK themselves and may have one British parent

    should probably rethink this headline then as it implies children of immigrants that the immigrants have brought with them or brought over from another country, not British-born children that have one immigrant parent.
