Looks like the Brits need to clean our their immigration department as much as we need to clean out the INS. These agencies have been specifically targeted by the very people who wish to destroy us. They have thoroughly infiltrated, learned the rules and are exploiting them to bring in the most dangerous people.

All the employees of these agencies need to go through a complete background investigation and psycological testing. Those who fail need to be dismissed immediately.

Old country saying was, when I left it in the 1950's, and it was used by persons (kindly) in authority. They would say to such people and also to most of us did make minor, but serious mistakes, this:

I only hope you are an older, a sadder, but WISER person. This was usually a middle-class person's take on things.

The working class at a low level, however often, in that era could be somewhat cruel, if they felt smug and judgemental. Their little homilies haunt me to this day. Herewith:

There's one born every minute. They must have seen you coming. If you don't look after yourself, 'oo the 'ell will? A music hall song began- "It serves you right, It serves you right, it jolly well serves you right"- How nasty. Working class myself, I would opt for the saying in bold second paragraph. Profit by your mistakes is also a good motto.

No joke: when i read the title i was pretty sure this was about albanians. Seems they have a certain knack for scams or worse. Albania's prime exports seem to be criminals and/or drugs. I also remember reading a story after klinton's war about some supposed traumatized (by the 'war')kosovar albianian who was taken in by some naive wannabe philanthropists here in the U.S. The guy decided to go back to kosovo since life was just too hard here--he had to find a job and, worst of all, there were no government cigarette rations like back in the old country.

What a disgrace it was to risk American lives for such pathetic ingrates.

When being well-meaning and a do-gooder it helps enormously to have a functioning brain.
