Riche Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Ra Ra Gurkha's are the Men. This is the sort of imogrant our country wants and needs. Someone who will die for our country should have Automatic entry rather like those from our real good friend Pakistan. He could stay in my house rent free any time. I can't extend that offer to the others mind they don't bring the same value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadron Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 From the title of the post I thought this was something different to what I already know. The Gurkha is a member of the armed services and you would expect this of them. The story is fantastic and a great inspiration. An immigrant or migrant to me is someone who moves from place to place to seek financial gain. I think the thought behind being a Gurkha is not the same.

That isn't the definition of an immigrant, for example foreign students are classed as immigrants and they only bring revenue into the country. Incidentally, I don't think gurkhas or any soldiers would fight for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
