No thats unfair. If they are, as is often argued "Doing the jobs noone wants" then they are earning very little and paying very little tax and the tax they pay does not cover the benefits they receive, ie Child Benefit, NHS treatment etc.
I personally think the Government should shut the "open door" and sort out the millions of British people living below the poverty line before it starts importing extra workers to create a large pool of cheap labour.

NO!!! Why the hell should they benefit from our taxes in that way??!! The horrible experience I've had personally with some Polish neighbours has not left me with a very high opinion of them anyway! (Though I know most are friendly and hardworking). I Just think there should be more control as to how many immigrants are allowed into the UK - apparently the Government are thinking of bringing in a points system and if they don't have enough "points" they're not allowed in.

No when they are claiming benefits in Poland as well. EU rules allow a worker to claim benefits like this when working abroad, but not both at the same time.
With that in mind, those who do claim at the same time should be jailed.

ok, maybe im just dumb, but why the hell should the UK taxpayer pay for a kid in another country?? I dont see any other country picking up the bill for British kids!!!
As far as Snetterton's comments, do you honestly think that its fair?
As far as i can see this is another sign of the so called "United States of Europe"
I DONT WANT TO BE A U.S.E. CITIZEN!!
Lets look at history here guys, we fought 2 world wars to safe-guard our independance, and to protect our rights, now our political masters have decided to forget all that and join up with the bloody cowards who have consistantly refused to assist the UK in any way for years..
I'd rather we joined the USA as it's 51st state than join those f*****g b******s in brussels, at least we be defended!!!

Yes, but at a reduced rate, to reflect the fact that they're supporting someone in a lower cost of living country. Regardless, these are EU rules, so the government is doing what it agreed to when it signed on to the EU treaty.

A definite no. Plenty of people I know working in other countries get nothing in the way of any kind of benefit when they're families are not in their country, why should the UK pay out?

No. They should only be allowed to claim for the children they have living WITH them in the UK. :-)

No. If the child is still in Poland then they should claim the benefit there.
