Sinister side of immigration
Posted: Sat May 14, 2005 5:30 am
We have had a few debates about immigration on this forum,
and some people say that if you are against immigration you
are racist.
But when you read the text below, taken today from the BBC web
site, you realise the sinister side of immigration and that the whole
issue should not be taken lightly.
****************
Hundreds of African boys have disappeared from London schools,
police investigating the murder of a boy whose torso was left in
the Thames have said.
Scotland Yard asked London education authorities how many black
boys aged four to seven had vanished from school.
Between July and September 2001, 300 had disappeared, and
police fear thousands may go missing annually.
Child welfare experts say the figures hint at the scale of child
trafficking, sometimes for labour or benefit fraud.
A previous BBC investigation found some African children were
being held by their parents' creditors, so they could claim extra
benefits.
The boy found in the River Thames in September 2001 - called
Adam by police - is thought to have been the victim of a ritual
killing after being brought to London from Nigeria.
Detective Chief Inspector Will O'Reilly said inquiries revealed 300
black boys of a similar age to Adam had not reported back to
school in the three months before his death and were "lost into
the system".

Of course this does not include other immigration 'problems' such
as honour killings, female circumcisian, forced marriages, arranged
marriages etc etc etc.
