No-one though seems to ever confront the elephant in the room question. Since we can't stop them coming here in the first place, because they are EU citizens, why the blazes was Romania - a country decades behind in economy, a basketcase with widespread poverty, with corruption at all levels and at that point even a democratic system which couldn't be completely trusted - admitted to the EU in the first place?

Indeed, and that was a question being asked at the time of their application.

Presumably our 'betters' in Parliament will have the answer to that one for you.

The membership of Greece was also questioned...and surrounded in doubts and difficulties.
We've seen what's happened there.
Even more stupid...the possibility of Turkey becoming a member.

While our governments refuse to believe the evidence placed before them and the realities of human nature, we as a country will continue to be dragged down by and infested with human parasites.
