thanks for the link em, i understand that we have deportations now, but what i would like to know is if and when a migrant or assylum seeker breaks are laws, some of which even i have distain for, why do we still pay for their prison stay?
i mean if we want to save money why not just deport them straight after trial? of course this might lead to failiures to ensure justice.

i can see why alot of people speaking a foriegn langauge would want to live close to each other, saftey in numbers, easy communication, shared values.
however what does annoy me is when someone (any nationality) lives in a country long enough to have brought up kids still cannot understand the native langauge of that country, or at least not seem to be making an effort.


i am really sad to see yet another thread be brought down by people who do not wish to disscuss things but want to argue that they know best.
come on, isn't this what we are trying to get past?
should we be trying to out the 'facts' as everyone knows them and to actually expand on knowledge and truth?

i don't mind starting by saying that i thought i was very open minded...until i came on here and discovered alot of the things i thought i knew about immigration and facism, were completely false.
i have learnt alot by reading informative posts that have been written with as little emotion as possible.
i have discovered things about myself that i am unhappy with.

when unsecure people discover this, they stick their heads in the sand and will argue until the ending of the world.
being secure enough to say, i was wrong, you have changed my mind..thankyou, is much more freeing.

so, i cannot name you all, but thanks for educating me in a way that i don't find boring or patronising.


take care all
