They will all be reaping the benefits at our expense!

you mean raping the benefits at your expense !

however, you can't push the blame on the immigrants (and i must say it is rather crazy listening to some of your punishment recommendations!) just change your laws to benefit the victim and not the criminal
if you break the law, then let the law break you

perhaps 'immigrant' is a mitigating circumstance; 'at home' crime is still probably of a higher percentage...it is sad that an immigrant thinks life is better in jail at the expense of an innocent young woman...it's all a question of values, like expressed in other threads, taking responsibility - but not fighting what some of you call 'nanny state mentality' it is obvious that people shouldn't drink and drive - why do so many people do it ?
punishment is a difficult thing to proscribe !
