  Can we please set immigrant dwarves to carry their items they arrive with until they reach a meeting area?  They have carried all these items however far it took them to walk to where my fortress is, WHY are they dropping them on the ground when they are 500 feet from their goal?

  If they are carrying items that they really shouldn' be, who cares?  They walked all this way with said items, they can damn sure carry them the rest of the way.  It's extremely irritating to have a large immigrant wave appear, they all drop their stuff, and the entire existing population of my fortress goes out to collect the dropped items while the immigrant wave heads to the meeting point.  Once every able bodies veteran in my fortress is out the door collecting things that should have never been dropped - bam, ambush of archers.

  Our dwarves are supposed to be at least moderately intelligent.  Can they please stop dropping their luggage on the ground when they are nearly to their new home? Please?

**Yes, if they are attacked, they should drop things and fight or run**

That is the legendary welcoming comitee of luggage carriers, it makes the immigrants think that the fortress is a lovely place to be before they are put into the gulag.
