Face the facts:
1. They are committing a crime that is punishable by prison in many countries.
2. They are a drain on our medical and social services.
3. They are bringing diseases that were thoroughly suppressed in our country. Many of our parents don't vaccinate their children. This might come back to haunt them.
4. The Brits don't need to say anything about this. Your country is very anti-immigration. Only the Left Unity Party seems to support it.
5. If things are so bad back home, why don't they apply for asylum through the proper legal channels.
6. Please don't give me the crap about Native Americans. We conquered them and this became our homeland. In Great Britain, the Romans, Anglo-Saxons, and Normans were all conquering peoples. At least we set up reservations for ours and let them have casinos.

Finally, I know we have at least one person on here who I think crossed over illegally. I'm just about pissed enough to blow their real identity!!!

This disputes your facts with other facts.

Personally, I have a bigger issue with the Asians (Indians and Chinese) who come in on H-1B visas and take high paying, high skill jobs. Many stay beyond their legal period. Where's the outrage about them?

The first thing that comes to mind is that they are productive members of society who at least crossed our borders legally. For the rest, I will have to let my blood pressure go down before I can respond
