To ask you to help me come up with a good response to this (Facebook related).

A family member has posted the below:

BRITISH OLD AGED PENSIONER TOTAL YEARLY BENEFIT £6,000
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS / REFUGEES LIVING IN BRITAIN TOTAL YEARLY BENEFIT £29,900
The average pensioner has paid taxes and contribute d to the growth of this country for the last 40 to 60 years.
Sad isn't it?
Got the guts to copy & paste this?
I Just Did

This was posted by a close, well-loved, family member but I feel the need to post a reply as I believe the post to be uninformed and prejudice.

Any ideas?

yy weeper to this, "there are lots of overseas visitors who give birth at that hospital, and that they have to pay for their care"

I had exactly the same thing, UK national but had been living overseas for a few years, came back here a few months before DS2 was born and had to have 2 meetings with the overseas visitors team, and provide written proof (tenancy agreement, work contract etc ) to prove I would be living here long term. If I wasn't able to provide that proof, I would have had to pay for using the system. But yes all foreigners are coming here, using NHS for free and running away No, they're really not.. So much ignorance to combat, so little time
