Someone should start thinking seriously about putting an end to this ASAP, not just in the US but mainly in the EU. We can't continue absorbing the results of irresponsable demographics in the third world and/or poorer countries:hmm:

Exactly. I'm willing to pay the 12 million person bill for deportation.

They say Americans won't do the job - BS. Pay them enough and they will. This is just an excuse to pay people under minimum wage for jobs that Americans would demand more $$$ for. Americans did these jobs long before there was a problem.

PS. If they need the money to get rid of them, add $10 to everyones tax return for one year. That will give them over $3 Billion to get rid of them all. I won't miss the $10.

It always amazes me how the leftish politicians and the trade unions are accepting the inmigration. Completely crazy and against any logical reason...the wages and general conditions of the humble classes would skyrocket if those jobs had to be paid enough to attract people to them. It's actually the inmigration a good part of the reason why they still are crappy jobs. Only the inmigrants do them....

Anyway I'm not against a certain amount of inmigration, but any amount that makes it impossible to assimilate and integrate them is a NO NO for me. That is an invasion, not inmigration. :nope:

EDIT: Forgot to add:

A guy I know here had this idea to end inmigration: Put death penalty on the second ilegal border-crossing. If you are caught once you are informed that finding you again in this country will result in death penalty. Then you are asked where you want to return and helped arrive there. But if you are caught again in this country, you are shot after a summary trial.

Got an idea how upset is people here already?

There was a big article in Businessweek 2 weeks ago, singing the praise of the success of massive immigration in your country, Spain. The article claimed that Spain could serve as the positive role model for the rest of Europe, now much more experienced in the negative aspects of immigration. The article devoted one small paragraph to what-if-it-doesn't-work and then moved on to nothing but blind positive thinking.

It's not my country. I could afford to laugh at the author but I just shook my head. :nope:

Start back 50 years ago since the end of WWII, for most of the world. Which is barely history if you follow the 30 Years Rule.

But look at Russia, and some of those bad feelings go back 600 years. It's always been tough being Russia's neighboor.

I had a professor in college who predicted that a war between Russia and Ukraine was likely. But it's been almost 20 years so hopefully this will not come to pass.

Japan, you could argue, is the only country that benefited by contact with the West.

Hey, inmigration has been a success here. We have MILLIONS of inmigrants, can you think of a higher success?:shifty: [Irony mode OFF]

Spain as we know it today is the result of inmigration and a flow of lots of cultures. All of them contributed to form us as we are today, Romans, cartaginens, phoenicians, visigotes, islam...yet it should be obvious that NONE of those cultures exists any longer but instead there is a fusion of all of them. Many cheap columnists seem to forget that. If we continue to have such a flow of inmigration, we might have a succesful society, a strong economy here and a strong culture here (Which I doubt) but it will NO LONGER be the spanish one, that's for sure:hmm:

You guys should have thought of that before you went and colonized them. Great job you did around the world. You really should be proud of yourselves.

I thought we were talking about immigration in the United States.

If the countries of Central and South America had prospered under America's tutelage since the Monroe Doctrine, would America have the problem with illegal immigrants it has today.

If the gentlemen of Europe, in assuming their White Man's Burden, had actually meant to help the countries they colonized, would they have the problems with immigrants looking for a bigger piece of the pie?

Past is past, Heibges, no sense crying over it now. I'm talking about present and future; this flow of inmigration must stop. That does not mean we shall ignore the poverty and the problems in those countries that force people to emigrate. But IMO ultimately the quick and dirty solution of opening the doors to uncontrolled inmigration to hape cheap workers will in the medium term have catastrophic consequences. France is a good example...and it had a much stronger personality and national feel than us, and look what happened after absorbing more inmigrants than it could succesfully integrate in his structures:hmm:

A temporary restraining order has been issued by U.S. District Judge Sam Lindsay that blocks Farmers Branch from implementing an ordinance banning apartment rentals to most illegal immigrants. Details to come.

The voters of Farmers Branch passed this ordinance by a 68% to 32% vote.

I see your point, but I feel everyone, even a nation-state, must take responsibility for its actions, and make corrections.

In some respects, I think that Spain was lucky to lose the Spanish American War, because all those countries that may have been angry with Spain, ended up angry at the United States instead. All my friends from Central and South America, have nothing but good things to say about Spain, and are very proud of their Spanish Heritage. But they all seem to be angry at the United States for sticking its fingers in their business.

In the United States, I think the issue of Illegal Immigrants is seperate from that of Cheap Labor. United States agriculture has relied on a supply of cheap labor since the Dust Bowl in the 1930's. And I think this stems from more basic problems with the Western Agricultural Economy since the Industrial Revolution. Hasn't England been subsidizing her farmers in one form or another for almost 300 years?

Someone brought up just raising the minimum wage in the United States, but this has small and medium sized business owners going crazy if you do that.

They will pass the bill eventually so President Bush can finish the five and half billion dollar fence.

I feel sorry for the poor fruit pickers and at the same time I wonder how the skilled labor illegally here can take my son's job away from him, because they don't charge as much is the reason why.

My son tried several years ago to get a job picking fruit over in Chico, California. They wouldn't hire him because he didn't speak spanish and that's the truth.

The fence is good to keep not only illegal mirgrant's from walking across, but it is also good to give the terroist another option of gaining entry to America, besides just wading across the Rio Grande River.

It'll pass, because deals are being made even as we speak, uh type.

I don't trust the white house or congress one iota. The fence bill has already been passed but congress didn't appropriate any money to build it. 'Fool me once its your fault, fool me twice its mine'. That is why their is such a fight over this bill. How many more lies are we willing to accept on this immigration threat.

I think they did what they had to do in light of moving 12 million people is an impossible task.

The fence thing is stupid out will only lead, as it has already, to increased bureaucracy and corruption. Go back a millenium and you find that more often than not, the Mongols bribed their way past the guards on the Great Wall of China.

Do we really want to follow the model set by the two great wall builders of the presnt day: the Soviet Union and Israel?

Always thought this was a chilling line...

"Agent Smith (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0915989/): I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure. "

http://www.wnd.com/news/printer-friendly.asp?ARTICLE_ID=56332 I'm really scared about this kind of stuff. But if this goes through its our own fault completely. We elected Harper even though he's openly in awe of Brian Mulroney and last time I checked we were supposed to hate him up here. That and the bloody NDP effectively handed power to Harper and gave him the chance to legitimize his position and now this crap is coming at us.

Its hard to believe that the legacy of Pierre Trudeau is already dead. It was right after his tenure too. America keeps takingliberties with Canada's sovereignty all the time. Trying to assert control of the North-West Passage, flouting the NAFTA agreement whenever it benefits Canada, sending DEA and ATF and Texas Rangers up here to be part of the process of law and order (RCMP are so corrupt). And CSIS already openly shares info on Canadian citizens with American agencies, often in attempts to get criminals arrested in the US where laws are stricter.

Trudeau was a nationalist and when I look back at the things he said and did I believe that it really would have felt special to be a Canadian at that time. Now we're selling our selves out and slowly losing those few distinctions we have as a nation from the US. We've always been somewhat complicit with American Foreign policy and we've been a part of the Military Industrial Complex since the end of WW2. But now it seems as if the businessmen we elect and trying to make a merger with the US. People wonder how I can be such a pinko-commie liberal, but this sh!t is what keeps me yapping.

Interesting that we've managed to enter a Canadian vein into this very American topic. :cool:

Countries really need to start closing their borders to any form of immigration, I've long since argued that for Britain, that enough is enough. Britain has the advantage over Spain that it's an island, and therefore (hopefully) a little easier to monitor if anyone can be bothered.
Hitmans friends idea bears merit but I dare say would be quashed by the EUnichs.
It can be argued that we are to blame in some respects for this situation, it can be argued (and it is certainly of my opinion) that the Allies were to blame for World War II, by creating the situation for Hitler to rise to power....but, at the end of the day, we can sit back and hindsight until we're blue in the face (or hind) and it's not going to do a blind bit of difference. Action must be taken.

1. Anyone who proclaims here, as you have done, that he "adores" a western leader who himself hero-worshipped the likes of Mao and Castro, should expect a response here. Otherwise, keep your adorations to yourself or at least do not assume that your sentiments are shared by the entire world.
