hmm Elvis, what about all the hardworking immigrannts who put up with below minimum wage, turn up without fail, and try to do their best at their job, something a lot of brits wouldn't do? Oldgrape, yep agree with your sentiments, but get the impression that most immigrants in our area are for economic rather than persecution reasons, good luck to them anyway, wouldn't you in the same situation? Don't blame them for making the most of the opportunities available, if anyone has objections then take them directly to the government, but otherwise just ask yourself this, if you were made welcome by a foreign government,would you then feel a litle bit agrieved if the people of that country snubbed you?
