Benefits being claimed by more than 370,000 migrants
Benefits were being claimed last year by more than 370,000 migrants who originally came to the UK to work, study or visit, the first research if its kind has shown.
Jonathan Portes, director of the National Institute for Economic and Social Research, said immigrants were ``significantly less likely'' to claim benefits than people born in the UK - and that those coming from EU countries put more into the economy than they took out.
