The sensible thing to do however is not to restrict immigration, because by definition both illegals and spongers buck the system anyway.

Are you joking? The country is already falling apart with the numbers coming in now, let alone just allowing all comers!

Believe you me, the current points system does a good job of separating would be spongers from immigrants who contribute. I suggest that rights should be given in proportion to how much tax immigrants pay (with various exceptions), which is a great way to measure direct contributions.
Illegals of course, fall outside all of these. As do EU migrants, who automatically get all their rights upon entry anyway, which is why the focus should be on them rather than non EU migrants.

I agree, it is more the EU side of things and that is by far the bigger problem in my eyes.
