America should learn from the Limeys it looks like they are learning from the Germans a little common sense goes a long way........
One reason May spoke so firmly, news reports strongly suggest, is that Britain’s Home Affairs ministry has given asylum to some 160,000 asylum seekers out of a backlog of some 450,000. It denied very few.
When details of the backlog and its resolution surfaced just days before May's trip to France, British officials said the immigration authorities had, in effect, granted an amnesty.
Reported the BBC:
So far 403,500 applications from the backlog have been fully processed. Of those, only 38,000 were rejected compared with 161,000 who were given permission to remain.
The latter was "such a large proportion that it amounts in effect to an amnesty," [members of Parliament] said.
Of the remaining 205,500 applications, 40,500 were effectively shelved simply because "the applicants cannot be found and it is unknown whether they are in the UK, have left the country or are dead" — an outcome [members of Parliament] said was "indefensible."
Keep writing those cheques and bend over...the tax man cometh. 100% tax rate is right around the next mosque.
