Thanks John for saving me from having to pipe up...My family are economic migrants among a large ex-pat 'community'. And you are spot on, and very big on hypocrisy - for example, I asked for signatures to a petition try to prevent my son's classmate from deportation, and despite having taken the time to translate all info into English, received the reply, more than once, that there are too many immigrants here! Many of my co-nationals seem to think it's still the 18th century and that our host country is some sort of colony. Needless to say, the same group hold no truck with immigrant communities in the UK sticking together, preferring the reassurance of the familiar in unfamiliar surroundings, "they" should integrate. I almost splurted my Pimms.
