The same with the Asians here, but substitute social security benefits for tax breaks.
Some native Americans may choose now to live on reservations, but they certainly didn't originally.
Americans really need to put their own house in order before they start criticising anything that's happening in Britain.

It is slightly different for the US. Agreed that originally the Native Americans didn't choose to live on reservations, indeed many fought hard to not go, but now it would be nigh on impossible to turn the clock back. The sites of most, I guess, of the original homelands are now paved over and citified - and how many Native Americans could now comfortably go back to that way of living?

And to class all immigrants to this country as benefit scroungers is unfair. I have worked with, and for, a number of immigrants and have found them to be hard working, honest and so on. And let's not forget that in the case of Jamaicans at least, we asked them to come here - they were hired to take on the jobs the natives wouldn't do - because in times of high employment, we got very picky about the jobs we would and wouldn't do.

In the case of the US, many of their immigrants are in the same situation (using the word "boat" there would have been a pun!) - they do the manual labour and crappy jobs that the locals don't want to do.

I never said all immigrants were benefit scroungers, I singled out a sizeable number from Pakistan and Bangladesh who did not want to integrate and whose only motive for being here was to milk the system for all they could.

Cool - just wanted to check - otherwise we could see a massive derail happening. And we wouldn't want that!
