Just wanted to point out that unless you told immigration officers on arrival that you were coming to the country for a job (at which point they would have asked to see your visa) then you did sneak in. Most of the people you are criticising in the UK come to the country 'legally' by lying about their reason for entrance. They don't all hide out in trucks and boats you know!

However, those innocent people (and their colleagues / relatives) who suffer from seemingly arbitary or unfair decisions believe something is seriously wrong. It all depends on your personal experience.
All the stories I have come across so far have had a reason.

Logic suggests that there must be a few that fit into this category, millions enter, so even a very tiny pecentage would produce 1 or 2.

Personally, I have had a B Visa refused, for reasons that I now know were logical, not happy at the time.

And I have been to secondary - inevitable.

One nasty experiance, but probably no more than with any other authority situation.

DO they?? Have you ever heard of an actual real life case of this happening or have you been reading the daily mail too much? Dont get me wrong, I'm not defending illegal immigrants or saying that lots dont claim benefits, but all this stuff about free houses and cars?? It's a case of saying something enough until everyone believes it...

Reminds me of Reagan's "Welfare Queen" speech.
