Cashy waht about those who are born and bred here nad have never had a job to pay into the system?
I see the welfare system as a safety net, a helping hand......not a way of life.

A points system like they have in Oz would be a start(only let in those with skills that are needed - do not descriminate where they come from if their skills are right)...border controls like they have in Oz would be an even better idea...count them in and count them out...know who you have as visitors or residents in your country.
Our borders have been almost non existent and that is where the real problem lies.
