Why EU Nationals should get state benefits

In defence of giving state benefits to EU Nationals families.

Under EU law a member state where one of its lawfully recognised citizens is working or seeking work has to pay their family the state benefits to live. This is allowed under the 'free movement of capital' clause in EU treaties to allow their families to continue going to schools in their home countries and has been used by western European citizens for years.

During the Cold War these loopholes were fraudulently used by criminals and other states to produce and fund their activities. This was kept in check and sometimes used by the churches to aid those being persecuted by Communism and totalitiarian Spain depending on their passed policies and members philosophies. As such now the UK has a duty of care to those who aspire to its ideals of freedom and democracy under the rule of law doubly so.

Thirdly when winters in Eastern EU states are colder their citizens need additional help. Would the UK economy be able to handle any seasonal migrations of its employees because of that who then would not be able to return to work because of the potential of inflation in the Euro zone meaning tehy couldn't get teh plane fare back? It is better this is statutorilly regulated than in positions of vulnerability they are exploited by organised crime. With legal help such as this, the Eu can reallocate its structural funds into economic development aid to neighbouring states in similar and worse conditions such as Belarus and Ukraine or states such as in Africa that are too welathy for aid but don't have the infrastructure in terms of trade. This would prevent destabilising speculations on European stock exchanges which hurt those who have been helped by the way the UK and its citizens defeated the Cold War.
