ERT - immigration has been going on in the world for thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of years. You need only look at Spain with its waves of different cultures crossing the Straits of Gibraltar and the Pyrenees. They have all contribued to make Spain what it is today, same with the UK with the Romans, Vikings, Normans etc. It has been my experience that immigrants at the end of the day do tend to adopt the habits and customs of the country they've moved to. Which doesn't means to say that they should drop their owns customs or traditions. If you come to the UK for example and need to go to hospital, you may find you have a doctor of Indian or African origin looking after you. Most of these people have been born in the UK, gone to school here and studied here. They are British. It may be the case that the Spanish are not used to seeing immigrants coming into their country but if you give them a chance you may find that they will be a positive thing for Spain.

Booklady - thanks for the kind words .
