A fair point Guest. I have no idea as to how many of them finance their trip or how many are truly fleeing persecution or how many just fancy life in a western country.

Nor am I sure whether it really matters. If someone wants to get into a country that badly,then maybe they would make a great contribution towards that country when they got in.

I'm not stating my beliefs here, because I don't know what to believe. I just get the feeling that Musket is right and we should get a lot more facts before making judgements.
