In the UK they will be applying the same questions to applicants for residence. Entry will be denied to anyone who answers "behead him/her/them" to more than 75% of the questions.

Oh well they'll just have to deport me then

Well, their intentions are good but how are they going to implement it? UK already has all the legislation which is mentioned in this article, but does it work?

Probably, but it's easier to claim asylum than going through the application for permanent residence.

And that's just the government figures of known immigration.

Net migration into the UK has averaged 166,000 a year over the last 7 years (1,162,000).

Does this include women comming from Eastern Europe to marry rich contractors ?

"In 2004, there were 4.5 million immigrants aged over 18 living in France, or 9.6 percent of the population (compared to 8.9 percent in 1999."

How many in UK?

>25) What do you think when a man in Germany is married to two women at >the same time?

I think that Germany makes some of the finest action films in the world.

Still quite below then. Not so sure that going to France is the right move if you hope to find less immigration. Beware, they are even more posh for the accent and they will pretend they don't understand your french 'cos your accent is different (they can even behave worse than English from this point of view ).

that was 7% in 2001 - methinks it will have increased substantially since then.

Remember the 7% is based on the legal immigrants

I will try to find more recent stats.

Our "open door" policy hasnt worked and one day will come back to haunt the citizens of this country.

Its not so much that this country has an open door policy but more that this country doesnt screen those who come here from the less desireable parts of the world (like Pakistan, crapbluckistan, Australia etc).

When I moved here the rings and hoops we had to jump through were a joke...yet...had we been radical islamic militants seeking asylum we would have been given a house, massive government benefits and immediate permanent residency! Seems to be they are letting the wrong group of people in (since us law abiding, economically productive kiwis are a real catch for this country )

Of course the downside of Frances move is that all the scum that would have gone to France will now end up here!

Immigrants accounted for 7% of the total population in August 2001

Well the French are pretty good at ensuring that rules are adhered to (when they want to), for example the case of the headscarf ban in France.
Can you imagine what would happen in this country if pupils were sent to headmaster/headmistress for arriving in school wearing religious clothing?

hmm maybe I should start learning French
