It must be noted that many of those very immigrants are educated and provide a boost to the local talent pool . Charities argue that the cost of helping them is small considering the benefits they bring . 2 bitterly highly deeply ridiculously I think it is probable that we'll soon go back to our country . It's a terrible shame , but we've been hurt by insinuations that we're 'money - grubbers' and only here to take advantage of the welfare state . I have to say I'm disappointed , as I had thought of this country as 'the land of the free' , but it turns out that it is hard to truly be accepted into society . 3 highly ridiculously deeply bitterly I couldn't believe my mum's behaviour when she came out to meet me here . She apparently couldn't care less about the different customs , which , I'm afraid to say , left me ashamed of her actions . The funny thing is , it's just not that hard to get on with the local people , who are all welcoming of newcomers . It's crazy to say , but I'm disappointed with her . I thought she was a more open - minded person than that . I'll tell you what : it's unlikely that I'll be inviting her to stay again any time soon !
