About the immigration problems

I somewhat can now understand the situation of the immigration officers.  The United Kingdoms are now suffering the problem of illegal immigrants.  I myself have met a few of them.  I don't know how many ways they have used to get into UK.  I do knew some of them would just throw their passports away as soon as they landed in.  The police would then have nowhere to expel them.  Perhaps this is why UK is now adopting the finger prints systems.

The problem of illegal immigrants from China gained their fame a lot from the Dover tragedy incident (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10414394).  For a time, it was impossible for the people from Fujian province of China to obtain a visa to UK.

China, ridiculously, has now also such problems.  In the city of Guangzhou only, it was estimated that there are more than 200,000 illegal immigrants.  Most of them are from Africa.  Their main strategy to manage to stay is usually to visit relatives first.  then they will throw away their passports.  Perhaps the Chinese government should learn also from developed countries about how to deal with this.

On the other hand, the policies of immigrant control have posed great inconvenience on most ordinary people.  To attend a one-week business meeting costed me more than 200 Euro and much time to have the visa only.

As for the immigration officers, perhaps because they are facing various weird people all the time, many of them have grown cold blood, if it was warm before.
