Because they have spys, and we can expect a visit to set us straight.

I don't mind them visiting
It's like when your cousin, you know "the one who's not quite right", who got caught pulling the wings off birds comes to visit and you are forced to play with him because you're the same age and will therefore definately be friends.

It was worse when your cousin was a couple of years younger than you
but you still should be friends because you're nearly the same age.

My friend Mat is the most right-on vegetarian hand-wringer I've ever met
but his family are from Coventry. He went back there for some family do and the first person he saw was his cousin, who ran up to him and said 'owroight Meth-yeow, want to hear soom jowks about peck-eyes?'.

He thought this was terrible. I of course lolled heartily.
