Are migrant workers a benefit to Britain?

The government's released figures- never compiled before- showing that just over 370 thousand migrants who came to the UK as foreign nationals are now claiming work-related benefits. The vast majority are eligible to claim. But it's led to accusations that some migrants are coming to the UK just for the benefits.
