Why mention it then?
You wrote -
"I come down to;
1) As someone who has always lived and worked internationally I dislike and disagree with anything which stands in the way of free movement. With the only proviso that you represent *at worst* financial and social neutrality to that country, you should be able to live and/or work wherever you wish."
which I partly paraphrased, partly quoted as
[immigrants] "represent *at worst* financial and social neutrality to [the receiving country]"
>>I already said I didn't want to restrict immigration. I do wish you'd pay attention before spluttering.
No you didn't. You added "With the only proviso that you represent *at worst* financial and social neutrality to that country"
Read what you wrote yourself before you start spluttering, or if you didn't mean it to be reciprocal then write more clearly.
