Just been having a quick re-read of the thread,
the above is an wonderful example of what you can do if you can control your own borders.
If we were 'out', we too could interview people that wish to become members of our community this would give us control of our borders, we would only need to allow people and their families in if they were going to be an asset to our economy.
I'm sure someone will start screaming racist or some such term at me but you would be wrong, (after all, Jersey isn't being racist, just careful),
I don't care what colour or creed a person applying is, just so long as they are determined not to become a drain on our society but to help it improve they should be welcome.
What we don't need are unlimited numbers having to be absorbed just because someone else say's we have to.
