And to cap it all there is nearly always one illegal immigrant resident at Hal Far or Marsa open centres!
Nice thanks they are giving us!

Why is it that every time the police or the drug squad catch somebody with drugs and or cannabis there is a foreigner involved? I am not making any excuses for Maltese citizens but in most cases it seems that the supplier turns out to be a foreigner. Maybe the Maltese government should keep a better eye on who enters the island. These few foreigners are supplying our youth with drugs and when caught they should be deported immediately after paying a hefty fine.. By the way I would like to congratulate the police and the drug squad for a job well done.
