She's fatter than you realise - she's Rowan Treesize!

Seriously, I think most countries don't allow immigration for people with health problems. Serious obesity is a new one as far as I know though.

That's bullshit. It's incredibly hard to immigrate to the US and the health requirements are one of the hardest things to get through.

Of course if you're talking illegals, that's a whole different kettle of fish, but don't go lumping us all together. We jumped through a ridiculous number of hoops to be granted residency, and yet we draw nothing from govt resources and pay our way with taxes etc, without receiving the right to vote.

Your comment comes across as unsubstantiated rightwing kneejerk rhetoric.
