If a bunch of Islanders come rowing up to Miami Beach in a refrigerator box, they are immediately waved in and given green cards. The only people we give a really hard time to are,for instance, the Heart and Lung transplant team from the Cardiac Center in Bern, Switzerland who are trying to get to Johns Hopkins Hospital or the scientists from the DNA forensic Crime Solving Unit at Scotland Yard. Those people are of no use to us. We want the clever ones who get by with not one word of English and not one red cent in their pocket. They are our kind of guys!!!! Grandad,
