You are not entitled to any welfare as merely an immigrant. If you are a visa holder, it will usually be stamped with "no recourse to public funds". If you are undocumented, obviously you have no means to claim anything.

Asylum seekers get £40 a week. https://www.gov.uk/asylum-support/what-youll-get

People complaining about immigrants claiming welfare have usually been lied to by the press about the applicable situation.

Migrants won't be allowed to die in the streets from starvation in large numbers. People just won't tolerate it and will insist on either keeping them out or paying to support them.
