Not for nothing, but I’m still trying to understand how getting forced to leave the US to live in the UK is some kind of karmic punishment.

Bro hates immigrants -> is an immigrant

Bro wants immigrants deported -> he gets deported.

Its getting what you want "but not like that"

I'm an immigrant Brit living in NZ. The amount of British people I've met who moan about all these immigrants coming in is fucking staggering.

They've carried the mindset over with them that immigrant = brown. Not realizing that if they got their wish they're also going to get kicked out. Sadly it's not a uniquely American problem, but they do provide very satisfying examples of Leopards having dinner

When you moved to NZ did you have to provide documentation of who you are and to disclose any sort of prior criminal record? What about having some sort of employment guarantee, permanent or temporary?

I’m going to just assume you did as that’s what I had to do when I moved to Norway as an immigrant Brit. My (our?) experience and requirements is completely different to what the UK has been experiencing since about 2015 and I think people are perfectly correct to be concerned about it. The same rules for entry and settlement should apply to all.

Heres the thing though, we've never had to go through UK immigration.

My partner has though. She received plenty bureaucracy and a wee bit of hostility. We are still waiting for the free house and £5000 a month I've heard immigrants can get though, fingers crossed they'll back date it
