Times have changed Mancie, in the 80s students wanted to come here to learn not to blow the living daylights out of use. The issuing of visas is a two way effort, we issue the visa the country of origin provide the background information, I know the hoops my daughter had to go through to get her visas for Thailand, China, and Vietnam. If governments can't do this then its better to be safe than sorry, better to withhold 10,000 visas than to let people through under false pretenses, which eventually causes the death of British citizens. We also didn't have 250000 asylum (benefit tourist) seekers back in the 80s neither, which is also a drain on our vetting systems. Its always better to look at the whole picture, rather just from a one sided slanted perspective
