Immigration

# Immigrants of quality should be encouraged but illegal immigrants should be identified, assessed for quality by panels of local authorities and if found wanting - deported immediately, along with all members of the extended family. No torture, no long drawn out litigation - simply out of the country and then they can re-negotiate their re-entry from over there. There is always a country to return to but that's not going to happen if they can convince a panel they are worth keeping here.

# Immigrants entering a country should observe the adage: When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Whilst resident in the country, their mores, social norms and the like should loosely conform to those of the native inhabitants. It's a simple test as to what those mores etc. are. If a major proportion of the community cry out over this, then those mores are not suitable.

# If their religion or home society is known for its corrosive, destructive nature and has a history of intolerance, e.g. oppression of women and being spread by the sword, then the panel who assess permanent resident status would naturally take this into account. The home country is a factor.
