I'm all in favour of an immigration policy that welcomes into the country the sort of person willing to clean up fast food joints and deports the sort of person who joins organisations like "London Black Revs" and the "Malcolm X Movement", preferably via a small rubber dinghy.

I guess what I don't understand, re: Cockroach protesting, is why? You all got Brexit, just like we got Trump, because you have an underclass of (mainly white) disenfranchised citizens. These people are not and have not participated in the great bounties of globalization. They are being left behind. You have here (and over there) a system that continually disenfranchises these people (ie your complaints are xenophobic, racist, and stupid) meanwhile they devalue the care, pensions, and education these people actually receive. Additionally, from my research, these people seem to make up the bulk of armed forces for both our countries. Their reaction is pretty understandable, under that light.

So, this company does something that's perfectly legal and in cooperation with law enforcement and the law. They co-operated in a sting for people who had forged their documents. As much of a dick move as it seems, aren't they just complying with the law, local authorities, and protecting their own business interests? What else should they have done?
