And there was me thinking he'd got a job over here playing Rugby League. Assuming he can speak English and isn't claiming benefits (plenty immigrants in hudds who can't read, write speak a word of English claiming housing, dole, involved with illegal activities etc, how many alleged terrorists seek refuge over here ? who we welcome with open arms) don't really see what the problem is. He'll be earning a decent wage and paying his dues and demands, how bright he is shouldn't really come into it. If he was a foriegn footballer coming here I don't think there'd be a problem, what's the difference. Perhaps a way around this is for him would be to change his name and speak some eastern european language or apply to be an asylum seeker.
This country's immigration/visa policy is a joke.
