The Whampanogs have it!

"I certainly regret it!" - said a Whampanog referring to the arrival of the "Mayflower" in 1620. (BBC Radio 4 "Today".) The Pilgrim Fathers crossed the Atlantic because of persecution, which is the reason for refugee status today. They numbered about 100. The number of illegals claiming refugee status who have crossed the English Channel in small boats and been allowed into England this year is over 5,000. We'll certainly regret it.
