If you genuinely think we're not 'Great' anymore because of a few immigration or benefit issues, you've lost sight of the bigger picture.

That has to be one of the most smug piles of drivel I've read on here.

Maybe you should take the time to learn it, or at least take some remedial courses on comprehending other people when they use it (take greenstiles along with you - maybe you can get some kind of 2 for 1 deal). Read my post again. Slowly, and out loud to yourself if that helps. Nowhere in my post did I make any vitriolic (look it up) comments about immigrants. I did, however complain about criminals and those otherwise inadmissible through the regular immigration process using duplicitous (another big word - I'm on a roll) means to abuse the refugee/asylum process here, and our government's PC hand-wringing that allows them to stay and further abuse the system for years with frivolous appeals, all the while supporting them with tax dollars. Try the flush-your-papers-down-the-crapper trick in Australia and see how far that gets you. You'll get loaded on the next plane so fast it will make your head spin - as it should be. IIRC, the last boatload of "paid passage" refugees that wound up on our shores were turned away by the Australian government at sea under threat of being sunk by their navy.
