In answer to the first question about immigrants?

Its all relative - FIRSTLY, who defines what an immigrant is, because basically we are all immigrants in a sense, SECONDLY what is the history ? ie an immigrant from India to Great Britain might commit crime in Britain but if challenged he might point out that Britain invaded his country and robbed it strategically, causing more damage to his way of life and ultimately prompting him to move in the first place. THIRDLY, how do you look at crime data, for example - ther may be 100 smackheads commiting crime but only one rich non-immigrant feeding them smack, so who is the bigger problem to society?

My point is - its a much more complex question than to just base it on your OWN experiences. My own opinion is that in such an unjust world, immigration is natures order of redressing a little balance.


The things that come to those who wait are the things that are left by those who got there first !
