Immigrants have children for benefits, says Asian peer
The UK's first female Asian peer has used a debate in the Lords to criticise Pakistani and Bangladeshi families for having too many children.
Baroness Flather suggested people in some minority communities had a large number of children in order to be able to claim more benefits.
The peer, born in Lahore before the partition of India, said the issue did not apply to families of Indian origin.
The cross-bencher said benefit cuts could help to discourage extra births.
Baroness Flather, speaking during a debate on the government's welfare changes, said: "The minority communities in this country, particularly the Pakistanis and the Bangladeshis have a very large number of children and the attraction is the large number of benefits that follow the child.

Re: Immigrants have children for benefits, says Asian peer
I have to agree with this they do have a lot of kids
There should be a rule NO benefits for having children or benefits forjust the first 2 children only, this is a joke 10 children and the state is paying for them
What are your views?

Re: Immigrants have children for benefits, says Asian peer
I think the people complaining about others having too many kids are morons and dont have a clue about how the system works.
Guess who will be paying their pensions? yes, those same kids that they are now complaining about.
The UK needs an ever expanding population in order to cover the costs of the rapidly aging population - only a moron would fight against providing what is needed for future prosperity.
More kids means more workers, more people putting money into the tax pot. More money in the tax pot means more money on services that are needed.

Re: Immigrants have children for benefits, says Asian peer
Interesting breakdown of her smear - but even that doesnt take into account the usefulness or the need for there to be a younger generation.
The average, while higher than for "natives" is still not that much higher.
It is interesting that she decided to take the "Indians" out her attack and focus on Pakistanis and Bangladeshis.

Re: Immigrants have children for benefits, says Asian peer
Lets see how it works, the more kids you have the more benefit money you get not to mention you get even more kinds of benefits if you have disabled children, its because of this reason the Muslims have disabled children on purpose
will they be in work? or will they be on benefits?
You mean more looters and rioters lol

No more kids does not mean more workers because we don't know if they are going to work or not and will there be suitable work available for them

Re: Immigrants have children for benefits, says Asian peer
Are you capable of thinking long term, like beyond the next ten seconds?
This is the first I have heard of this strategy people have to scheme the system - by on purpose having disabled children. What a great money making scheme.
Let me spell it out to you: no money in the world will make a parent want their kid to be disabled.

Re: Immigrants have children for benefits, says Asian peer
Yes its a great way of making money and sending it back to Pakistan
or put it this way they know how the system works so its OK if they have a disabled child they don't have to worry about the childs future like they would have to in another country its all taken care of by the state all they have to do is produce more and just watch the money roll in ching ching ching
most of the women are filled with Zevar from there nose down to there toes its often those women who have disabled children

You are wrong
They have a few normal children and a few disabled because they know there is not much in it for them if all there children are normal.

SI, you say some incredibly sickening things. I'm glad my life hasn't been touched by whatever yours has, Alhamdulillah, and I hope Allah swt improves your condition, inshaAllah.

Re: Immigrants have children for benefits, says Asian peer
That is the most disgusting and disturbing comment i have ever read. Why on earth would any parent in the world want a disabled child? I can't believe that you actually think that some people would stoop so low just to recieve money...
Thats the problem with our society today....its all take take take. People actually think that it is their right to recieve benefits. Get off your fat backsides and go and do things for yourself. Earn your money. Take the example of the Prophet Muhammed(saw) and implement it in your lives...

No, its scum like you who make this a worse place to live.
Would you willingly have a disabled child for half a million? (and inshallah you will never have any - all kids deserve better.)

I would never want to have a disabled child for any money
I hope I never have any kids

The thing about common sense is…. That it isn’t that common.
Directed OP and even more so, at the people who entertain such opinions as 'disabled children for benefits'

First of all, she is not Asian.

She's not Asian but it proves the point that parents can be greedy
There must be something on Asians as well

Re: Immigrants have children for benefits, says Asian peer
Do you think she is representative of other parents?
(I am ignoring that it was in the DM and this needs to be taken with a grain of salt.)
How do you think they go about making sure that any kids they have are disabled?

Re: Immigrants have children for benefits, says Asian peer
By getting married to their first cousin and/or a disabled person, obviously!
