@meganruthie: @Daily Express shame on you. #uk #immigration #universalcredit

Sian :

the way people believe this shit is mind boggling

Autistic Rainbow :

Migrants aren’t eligible to apply for benefits either until after a few years of paying taxes, and once their contributions end, they aren’t entitled to anything again!

Apple User456334989 :

I studied in the UK, Paid £18k per year in university fees, thousands per visa application, tens of thousands on rent and yet still wasn’t allowed public funds or UC. People are so misled it’s insane 😂😂

samgdunne :

Universal credit - Home Office Asylum support. Identical in this case for receiving support from our government. Labelled differently but comes from the same bank.

elvis Stewart :

it woukd take them about 10 years or more to get that

Toni :

Dawg we don’t care where people are from, they shouldn’t be able to claim it

Sebastien 🇨🇦in🇬🇧 :

Louder please!!!! You’re awesome Megan!

Uncle_James :

As soon as it says "migrant families" i knew it would include "anyone non-white in the UK"

essexboy :

Not to mention the fact that most foreign nationals who claim Universal Credit are in employment and are forced to claim it to make up for low wages that aren't enough for basic living needs. Like British people, they wouldn't have to claim it at all if they were paid a decent wage and charged a fair price for food, rent and energy.

etiquette_error :

Thank you for talking about this and setting the record straight.

Shelly :

You cannot claim when you are on visa any visa🙄.

🪷•Ruby•🪷 :

they actually just haven't tho have they

joselynnnna :

Craziest part is that most people are not even willing to actually look into stuff like this just in case it’s misinformation/misleading. Thank you gurl x

ekin :

as someone whos household claims universal credit im going to get that up to £13billion guys dont worry

Tippie :

I think you're missing the point. For example, if you want to move to Australia legally, you must first apply for a visa, for you to apply for that visa you must have a skill that country needs. if you don't your application is rejected. If you do you must show you can provide for yourself and your family for atleast 5 years before being considered for citizenship. Why do we accept legal migrants who can't support themselves or their families? The UC bill for migration has been going up rapidly for decades now and it's not getting better, we should be accepting the best of them not the worst of them as when they get older which they will they will need more and more support. We should only be accepting people who put more into the system than they take out which is not happening. By the time retirement comes the tax burden will be put onto our children and their children. This is why we need the best of the best only.

Kris Mc308 :

Are you a UK citizen is like the FIRST question on the UC application form. If the answer isn’t Yes (with proof) you are not eligible I really don’t understand how they managed to convince so many people that this isn’t the case

Kudzzz :

Thank you for this

kitty.brightginger :

IMMIGRANTS DONT HAVE ACCESS TO PUBLIC FUNDS. Literally only refugees. My daughter is Scottish (her dad is) but because I’m American and still on a visa, we don’t get any access for childcare pay, Scottish child payment. Nothing because I don’t have access to public funds.
