Heartfelt.

From: Robert Carlton, Athol Crescent, Ovenden, Halifax.
IN the past I have supported organisations such as Amnesty International and the British Red Cross and am against abuses of human rights. I feel I need to support people who are in fear of persecution, yet today I am almost reluctant to admit that I feel this way.
Your poll asked whether foreign nationals convicted of serious offences should be deported (Yorkshire Post, February 19). The result was 94 per cent in favour of deportation and I agree with that.
For far too long these people have been using these organisations for their own gain yet it was because of the beliefs of these organisations that they are in this country and now living in freedom.
They hide behind them, yet don’t believe in freedom themselves.
Foreigners found guilty of rape, violent assaults and terrorism offences should be removed from the country.
Often they come from countries in turmoil who have lost control. It’s time to consider the stability of this country and make the right decisions to ensure this country is in control.
The anger that people are feeling is worrying. I think it’s making people racist, violent and uncaring because we are being taken advantage of. I see people changing, but not for the good.
Every wrong decision makes the situation worse.
