> living at taxpayers' expense

Presumably the form for applying for benefits has a reasonably high bar for identifying the fact that you are in fact legally present in the country? Or how else do you imagine people living at "taxpayer's expense"? Just begging on the streets?

The streets themselves are maintained at the expense of taxpayers, regardless of who is begging on them.
