"Native-born citizens rarely glimpse their own country's immigration system at work. Since my American husband just applied for a 'marital visa' to the UK last week, I can give you a peek at, I uneasily intuit, one of the simpler legal processes of gaining entry to your fine country. In all, this experience led me to concur with David Blunkett that Britain should open wide immigration's front door and better secure the back. Immigrants, like burglars and electricity, travel the path of least resistance. Best make it easy to be good."
