fair point, most of the threads will have been posted by me, and as I've posted b4, I'm only reporting whats happening out there, Immigration abuse, sham wedding, illegal immigrants etc indirectly effects us all. The scale of these problems is reflected in the increase in the number of news articles which seem to increase daily concerning these subjects.
I am aware that people might be put off from reading the posts, but hardly a day goes by now without stories like these being published in the press and on the news and as you've said people do have an opinion and will post replies.
it might be a good idea to have a section dedicated to 'Immigration Abuse' or something similar so people are aware of what is going on,
