Immigration has no solution/Who Benefits?

A re-evaluation of the 'Citizen's Income' proposal

With more 'we're more tough than the Tories/BNP (delete
as appropriate)' rhetoric coming from Nu Snaga, I would
modestly suggest a partial solution to citizens /students
/migrants getting or not getting enugh needed financial
support.

Simply put ANYONE over 16 resident in the UK should be
entitled to a CI of, say, 100 pounds sterling a week
SO LONG as they work less than, say, 16 hours per week.
This would include students and would remove the
distinction between economic migrants (bad?), foreign
students (evil??) and asylum seekers (scum of the earth???).

While working less than 16 hours, individuals can apply for
housing benefit or interest-free loans/grants to pay for any
extra costs associated with housing /study /disability
/childcare. This can also apply to MP's instead of them
having wages, and any extra costs could be put on grants or
interest-free loans.

Individuals would only recieve further benefits (i.e.housing
benefits)while working if looking after children, or are
disabled. Migrants would only be able to work full-time
if granted citizenship, with the CI allowing for a decent
standard of living before this is achieved.
