Do we need much tougher security checks on refugees?

YES WE DO

31.05.08, 7:14pm

Our airports have become one of our "security sensitive" areas ... every one who works there should be security checked......

But go to Heathrow .... as you are checked by "security" ... spot the white face ...... why are we handing over over our security to the people who are our biggest threat ???

REFUGEES

26.05.08, 8:36pm

These people are not refugees they are scroungers and should be sent back especially this Afghan man. We do not want them here, they cause trouble and will never mix with the local people. They are trouble with a capital T and the government should clamp down now on all immigrants.

we should only allow female refugees, with two children, one female, one male, men, single people, need to make every effort to rid their land of evil. tough decisions must be enforced for our own security.

you talk rubbish:

"when we have so many of OUR people cannot get a job in there own Country"

there are 700 000 job vacancies in this country. plenty of work is out there, it is just not 'desireable' work for britons.

i will dwell on this statement in full:

"Why is it that these people can get jobs at all when many of theme are illiterate by our normal standards when we have so many of OUR people cannot get a job in there own Country?"

--interesting how people who cannot spell the word 'them' or use the word 'their' properly can accuse other people of being illiterate. i won't even mention your horrible grammar.

maybe that's why you can't find a job.

TONAUD RACISM

20.05.08, 9:19am

You have mentioned the word and maybe at some point racism should be dealt with, looked at, to see what it actually means.
We all are supposed to know what it means but unfortunately the whole racist issue is taken way out of context.
I actually see many differences between races as cutural rather than being racist.
Maybe race is now an oudated issue.

INSANITY

20.05.08, 8:17am

There has been a huge problem building up for our Country for many years now and no attempt has been made by our so called government to tackle this very sad state of affairs.Itmust be said that NO political Party has the slightest interest in dealing with anything that might smack of racism (there Ive said it ,that drea
dfull word everyone seems so terrified of)>There is no way that security checks can make us all safe from these uninvited guests of ours ,practically evrything about them is and will remain unknown.The Blairs deliberatelly avoided this tragic situation and left us all to reap the harvest of hate they encouraged.Unfortunately Mr Brown reads from the same script,no security there then.Why is it that these people can get jobs at all when many of theme are illiterate by our normal standards when we have so many of OUR people cannot get a job in there own Country?and THEY are certainly not a securit risk. No we live in a time of sheer insanity , much of it created by this incompitent ,uncaring conmen known as New Labour ,God help us all.

CHECKS NEEDED ON MPS

19.05.08, 7:28pm

DO WE NEED MUCH TOUGHER SECURITY CHECKS ON ........ ????

Yes, we do need checks but on the memebers of the House of Conmen to find out how much money they have made after they became MPs and the allowances they might have misappropriated.

In order to escape a vile and repressive country this man put at least 173 lives in danger.
If this plane had crashed would you still be backing him ?
Hijackers should not be allowed to stay here in Britain. To do so only reinforces to others the validity of commiting such a crime.

The chap committed a crime to escape from one of the most vile and repressive countries in the world, asked for asylum after serving his time, and is now making a contribution to society in his new home.

You're confusing the nominally democratic, nominally peaceful Afghanistan with the place you or I would have done anything we could to get out of that he actually left.
