Rejected petition Don't cut tax credits for British people. Why should we pay for your austerity?

Why should British people have to pay for all the low skilled immigrants coming into the country? We should prevent low skilled workers from receiving tax credits and social housing and just pay it to British people. That way you can meet your austerity budget and not put millions in poverty!

More details

Immigration to the UK has resulted in a high fiscal cost to the UK Exchequer of at least £114 billion in the period 1995-2011
