Immigration is the cause of many "arguments" both for and against and uppermost in most discussions on the subject is illegal immigration.

How many have ever watched the several TV programmes about border security? There are programmes from the UK, Ireland, America, Canada and New Zealand as far as I can remember and before the sneering dismissals about TV programmes, these are not TV dramatisations, they follow border security, customs and immigration officials as they go about their jobs.

What stands out with illegals is the blatant disregard for the laws of the country and the ignorance of the English Language. The majority of those caught have been in the respective country for some time, some, many years before being caught but cannot speak English. They have absolutely no intention of integrating and will do and say anything to avoid being deported.

One "raid" on premises in the UK suspected of employing illegal immigrants found 20 "foreign" workers, 17 of whom were found to be illegals. Due to the idiotic "rules", they had to be released on bail/licence and of those, 15 absconded and will now have to located all over again. The other two were deported after the bureaucratic process.

The above mentioned have no place here but I don't have any argument with those coming here who can make a contribution to our society and way of life, who integrate, adopt our ways, respect our Laws and most of all learn to speak English with a very wide vocabulary.
