Who could argue with that?
Me?

I have often said we dont get a balanced section of society from these countries, although cultural differences mean we in the west have different morals and attitudes to crime. The UK seems to attract its fair share of the bad apples from other countries.
It sounds like other western countries have similar problems!
Reading the local rag and spotting people with foreign sounding names in the court reports does not count as credible evidence. I have often said that

I fail to see how any citizen of this country with any common sense could have any arguments, why should criminals not be sent back to their country of origin if they commit crime during a set probationary period?
Its not just about reading local rags, its also about being involved with people from certain parts of the world. Different cultures have very different values and morale levels, many of these people have the attitude that UK citizens have too much money and deserve to loose it.
I do pay attention to the amount of fraud commited by certain sections of society, but I can honestly say that in the last say 5 years, I know of no-one "personally" of UK origin (and that includes people of foreign descent born here) to of ripped any one else off. I do however know of 3 of african descent and one of asian descent.
1) Girlfriends friend Asian stole cheques from housemates and got thrown out, then stole from my girlfriend. She then claimed to of paid the council tax for two years but the other two occupants were taken to court for failure to pay... the list goes on with her.
2) Dodgy African woman I was involved with who went to work for my banks callcentre and looked into my account, also reportedly got caught with a handbag full of stolen credit cards about 12 months after we finished.
3) Dodgy African Woman who recently told me she stole money from work, and has borrowed money left right and center failing to pay it back.
4) Dodgy African Guy, borrowed a car from another african woman I know. She has never seen the car since and the police were not ineterested because they failed to locate his address.
I admit its not a broad view, but my opinions can only be based on facts experienced and known to myself. No matter how much someone tells me the world is flat, I have found it to be different.
