Well, but the kids and their parents aren't the British citizens. And it may be that they will be denied the citizenship or decide to leave or something like that. Besides, why Britain should support citizens of other states, even if they live there? It is a task of their home states.They should just give them out to everyone. It would probably work out cheaper than setting up a national structure to manage the system.As I understood from the article, the kid can be considered the British citizen (based on nationality of the father). So, I don't understand why the benefits had been refused in the first turn.
Whether this ruling should be applied to all migrant kids (including to those the parents of which are the citizens) is another question. Basically, the British government shouldn't be responsible for them.
