If they are getting aboutb £76,000 a year income, then I would strongly suspect that they are receiving a bit more than the £26,000 maximum amount of benefit.
A family working and not on benefits, would have to earn around £125,000. No wonder they came here for a better life - better than a lot of us it seems.
Why should we pay for them - or anyone, to have so many children ?

The rules need changing Roger, I heard our Prime Minister talking about having to be here for 3 months before qualifying for benefits which is hardly a deterrent.
I believe the £.26000 cap only applies to unemployed people.

I thought there was a cap on any family receiving benefits, whether working or not - if working it would be working tax credits.
I appreciate the husband was working and taking home about £1800, but all that other money.
A small digression; while we are in the EU, we cannot decide who comes in and who doesn't, so we cannot decide whether it should be quality or quantity - I know which I'd prefer.

Definitely quality every time unless they are from a dangerous situation.
