  Fine, I would not object. David I am not playing the racist card, just warning you that others will.
  
  As for asylum seekers, let me tell you a story. When I last worked in Saudi Arabia I had a Sri Lankan Tamil friend called Giri Subramanian. He was an extremely well qualified individual with several degrees from Western universities. His job was selected for Saudisation and he was therefore given three months notice. The security situation in his home country being what it was, he applied for a transfer to the bank's London office and that was approved but the UK authorities refused hin a visa. About that time his village in Sri Lanka was attacked by government troops and his extended family mostly murdered. He and his family had existing visit visas for the USA so they left Saudi Arabia with his severance pay and flew to New York.
  
  Being on a visit visa he was unable to apply for jobs in the US so the family took the Greyhound bus to Niagara Falls, walked across the bridge, threw their passports into the falls and claimed asylum in Canada.
  
  Their application was accepted. They now live very happily in a suburb of Toronto. Giri finished his career with a major bank.
  
  So don't tar all asylum seekers with the same brush.
