    I don't think he meant to imply that it did, I think that he meant to make the benefit system less attractive to immigrants (compared to their own country). Personally I think something needs to be done about the benefit culture in the UK, I mean everyone (not necessarily immigrants).

    Just leave - Benefits\welfare can be dealt with as part of the our own terms.
