        So if they have family life that can be proved, then you want to deport them, you sick fooker?

          Just means they live in a house with a partner, which is pretty much everyone. Well except you.

            How about if they currently pay more in tax than they claim in benefits?

              Nope, irrelevant. You either meet the points system, or you are shown the door in my book.

              Harsh but fair.

                And for someone who has been living in the country for a long time, or who was born here to parents who moved years ago, should they be "sent home"?

                How long, or how many generations back, does one need to go to prove you should be allowed to stay in this country?

                  Yes, that's right, someone born here is an immigrant...

                    There are others who argue that if you were born to "immigrants" who didn't have British passports, then you yourself are an immigrant.

                    Are you saying that's not the case, that if you're born in the UK, then you should be treated as a UK citizen?
