yeah they work for cheap and once they get a foot in the door they bring their families over and next thing you know they take over your laws, your entry level jobs, abuse their benifits and foist their beliefs upon you and make you feel like the words "Merry Christmas" are a death threat. Oh sorry that's Canada... my bad.

Oscar I am with you, if they contribute and make an honest effort to integrate I am all for them coming into my country.

Exactly. And the now 'for sale' channel tunnel is exceptionally porous.

You would think being a smaller place than Canada by about a zillion square miles, they would be easier to find....apparently not.

Agreed

Legal immigrants have brought more benefit to the country than they have cost - indeed, we'd have been in the sticky stuff in many ways without
them.

Same for the U.S.



Asylum seekers should be looked after until their cases are decided (quickly) and then deported immediately if asylum is not granted.

This should be the case in the U.S.

Illegal immigrants should be deported as soon as they are found - too late to then request asylum, if you didn't ask at the front door then goodbye.

Amen

That's the point I was trying to make, it's not a problem with legal immigration which is what the proposal would try to control but with illegal immigration which would remain untouched.

Thats the problem. Noone seems to be able to figure out how to curb the ILLEGAL immigration, so they curb the one thing they can. Maybe hoping the numbers balance out? Who knows what goes on in the mind of a politician?

Question?? How do the illegals get into the country? Unlike the U.S. with relatively easy access borders, you guys are surrounded by water. Do they come in from the sea?

I like the idea of anybody in the world being able to live anywhere in the world they choose.

I actually agree with you BC... I too would like to see a world where we were truely global. However, you only have so many tax payers in one land to carry the burden.
