doesn't that just show the main drive for some people is to just move money from a risk jurisdiction to a safe jurisdiction.

if i were applying under this program, would i, as a logical, rational person buy a place before i move (unless i was buying as an investment) - no fucking way... to me, this reads as though these people saw the program as an easy route, a 'gimmie'

i really have no feelings for these people at all - the only thing that annoys me is that greaseball realtors made money from them. i hate realtors
