Question, if bigamy is illegal in the UK ,and UK nationals have been jailed for the offence, why has the UK government, now allowed extra benefits for migrants with a second wife???

Britain of today is vastly different from the country most of us grew up in, now only immigrants and minorities get it all ,us ordinary folk just don't count any more

A UK resident cannot sponsor a non-EEA national for permission to enter or remain in the UK as their spouse if another person has already been granted such permission, and the marriage has not been dissolved. However, it is possible for all parties to a polygamous marriage to be legally present in the UK. For example, a second spouse may qualify for entry to the UK in a different immigration category, in their own right.

The catch is migrating in ones own right can lead to additional benefits, if meeting welfare benefit criteria in the future, being paid to an individual as not a member of a recognised family unit.
