    Some people come into the country on tourist visas and don't leave. If you record who's leaving then you can at least work out who's left and who hasn't. Having some idea who you're looking for must help.

    If they do, expect him to be seen as a hero and retaliation to follow. Living in an American jail would be the greater punishment. These young idiots want to be heroes....don't want to live a miserable existence.

    Sorry but he deserves to burn in hell. Besides, if he's sentenced to death, he gets to sit on death row for years awaiting his fate.

    Tsarnaev has now been found guilty of all 30 charges against him. He's a dead man walking.

    Sounds like shutting the stable door while they are still here somewhere? I suspected that it was a check to see who is leaving to join ISIS or it's opposition, and nothing to do with immigration whatsoever?

    It might help with the ISIS stuff but I think it will help make it harder for people to stay in the country when they should really have left.

    I'm not an expert but I have a friend who's an immigration adviser and she's been saying for years that this should be done. I think one of the main problems with how immigration is managed in this country is that there haven't been enough checks on people when their visas expire. As I understand it, if someone were to ask the Home Office "How many people who entered the country on student visas in 2011 definitely left when their visa expired?" the answer would currently be "We don't know." Which is quite embarrassing really and makes it fairly easy for people to come in legally and just stay - there's no way of knowing who's left the UK and who's still here. If you have these checks in place then once someone's visa expires the authorities should be able to see whether that person has actually left the country and will presumably try and track them down if they haven't.

    We need to install exit checks. Being able to control EU immigration or at least stop people with serious convictions coming in would help.

    Cracking game - Rayo vs Real at the moment. 0-0 but Rayo really taking it to them, ref booking everyone that moves and Real losing their rag.

    Not letting people in in the first place would be even easier. I bet for every nurse or doctor we let in, 10 dole scum come in.

    Sounds about right, we had no money then! The next few scholarship groups are going to be a bit down!

    Exactly my point. I left England 7 or 8 years ago and have since been an immigrant in three different countries. Except, being rich white folk, we aren't called immigrants, we're called expatriates, which sounds much more noble. Why don't we call people from Poland and Pakistan expatriates?

    A band called Say Lou Lou. Weird name, but kinda good. They're two women, twin sisters (Australian/Swedish) and they seem kind of.... electro-popish. Spotify refers to them as dream pop.

    Because that doesn't fit the right wing press' agenda of trying to label any migrant who comes to these shores, as Clem Fandango puts it, "Dole scum".

    The thing with the Boston Bomber is that his sentencing is being done on the federal level. As I understand things, any Federal death penalty has to be signed off by the President. Hopefully Obama/Clinton will realise the martyrdom aspect, and lock him up for life.
