Looming reforms to Britain’s welfare policies could be a windfall for polygamous immigrants. While the UK doesn’t allow polygamous marriages to occur in their country, they do recognize such marriages if conducted in another country. This at a time when the UK’s migrant population is surging along with the rest of Europe.
A loophole identified in a paper from the House of Commons shows that wives in polygamous marriages could claim individual benefits while the husband and his first wife can claim their respective benefits. The changes mean some polygamous households nay receive more under the UK’s universal credit system than under the present benefit and tax system.
While the loophole in these reforms has been highlighted, so far nothing has been done by the House of Commons to address it. The gap in this incoming reform is inexcusable and demands action from Parliament.

No sponsor, and no intention to assimilate should equal no admittance. Reopen Ellis Island!
Wrong Wong wrong. Send them back to their own country
Unlike the UK, we don’t allow any more than one woman to be declared a wife, when these locusts migrate to our nation. However, they are permitted to bring the others in as “female relatives,” and we have the burden of their support as well. An orthodox Mormon was never permitted bybthe church to have more wives than he could support. Not saying that people like Warren Jeffs did not violate this tennent, but, just the same, even his “wives” weren’t on welfare. They were expected to work for their support. It should be the same with Muslims. Giving them preferential treatment is a violation of our Constitution. No sponsor, no work or life skills, and no intention of assimilating shoukd equal no admittance. They should be screened and treated for diseases, too, and shoukd not be allowed in with communicable illnesses, eother.
Get them the hell out of the USA
