The deportation thing is incredibly new, I've only known about the possibility for three days or so. One of the reasons I allowed my company to drag their feet on my application is that the Czech government is notoriously lax about deadlines for this sort of thing - in general, it's in everybody's best interests for English teachers to be here. It's just that now the economy's so bad that they would rather give our jobs to Czech people, despite the fact that we all pay taxes and put money back into the system. We have recession-proof jobs (the amount I work is testament to that), so it seems short-sighted to kick us out when we may be the only people moving money around for a while.
