So what's the problem with immigration?

If someone wants to come and live in your country, shouldn't you be flattered, and thank them for the compliment thanks hug, rather than treat them with hostility?

Folks migrating Legally should be Welcomed.
Those entering Illegally have broken the Law of the country they've entered.

But only because they can't get in legally, mic; they are left with no choice. If it was made legal, they wouldn't break the law. dunno
You bit the bait, Miclee scold laugh
How do you define an invasion harbottle? Just curious. wave or sounds like you don’t believe in the sovereignty of a nation or maybe you just don’t believe in the sovereignty of the usa and a need for its government to protect it and its people. wave
In time Middle Easterners and Africans will over flood Europe if you think anybody can come and that is OK. Especially that they get free ride( place to live, money, food)...Why to struggle in their countries when better come where all created?
I don't believe in anything really, gal. It's all other people's ideas anyway. If I want something to believe in, I'll make it up myself. drinking
Much depends upon Which country's immigration laws we're discussing, those entering and the Means by which entry is accomplished.

The commoners are quite big on having things in common and there isn't the money to make people less common. Find a new world and give us all some land for free so that everyone starts middle class.

Thanks for a reply but you did not answer my question. Thats ok though. Carry on.
Sorry, gal, can you give me the question again, but this time without speculating on what my answer will be.
As long as they immigrate and not invade.
My question would be (and I don't know the answer) - What country or countries just allow anyone
to emigrate into their country from another country without any processes?
dunno
I don't know the answer either, kp. hmmm dunno
I understand folk wanting better life than they have but in the proper way.

Our folk have to pick these folks out of dingies dunno its like me shouting HELP in front of a load of people whilst i cut my wrists, nothing more we can do but save them or me.

What about no housing, not enough docs, schools etc. What about folk that have lived and worked all their lives paying taxes etc but cant get help doc, etc.

Must have bounries Mr Harbottle or our little Island will sink.
When the Mexicans owned those southern states they should have built a wall to keep the Americans out. They're simply trying to go home. Just look at the names of Cities and Rivers.

Very good points, EXRED, perhaps I need to have a rethink. hmmm

idea You're right, there have to be limitations.

Your common sense has won me over, EX. smile

Nah
A Sensible Discussion of immigration policy as a Massive Migrant Caravan moves flatteringly towards the US Border - Posted Two Days Ago ...
wow

cowboy
With all due repect, mic, I don't want people coming here being sensible. scold

Prior to D-Day, '44, So much stuff had been stockpiled in Britain, the only things keeping it from sinking were the Barrage Balloons.

That was a bit before my time, mic.
You are obviously not looking then. We have a massive problem. We have daily boat loads of them.
That must be one of the lowest comments I've read from you Jac, sofar.
That people like to hate them.
You are correct. I am not looking to England. Neither do I post on Englands forums with disdain as you do on Americas platforms.

Perhaps that is the central problem....the overriding desire to dictate or preach to another persons affairs.

cool
@jac

You are the heroine of CS!!!
And comparison is the thief of joy. professor
Not always.

Comparing hands can be a great joy.

It's the spirit with which one compares.
Thankyou Snow, but not many people think that and you rarely do.

It's not really an accolade under those circustances, eh? laugh
And holding hands can be nice, too.
@jac,

On the contrary, I think it always, even when we disagree.
I'm an emigrant. Have lived in Sweden for 23 years. I work full time, pay my taxes and bills and mind my own business. Still there are "the real Swedes", who ask me "when will you go home?".

It's better to be alone, when you are an emigrant.
@harb,
Depend on whose hand!wink
"Real Swedes" are what they Are. They have no cultural concept of Swedish Society being made up of Immigrants, such as, say, the Americas or Australia.

Your great-grandkids will asked that Same Question.

cowboy
Like Brits, Americans and Aussies get immigration. laugh
In the instance of the UK, immigration is the back flash of 400 years of Imperialism.

cowboy
I realise being American you thnk the world began 400 years ago, Mic, but the UK history of immigration goes back a few years earlier than that. hmmm
Whorbottle
You are a seriously funny poster.

BUT THIS TIME YOURE WRONG!!!! scold

How is this? 2 sisters let's say 13 and 11, are alone in the house.
Their parents dont believe in locking the door because they're "open" and "progressive."
Two men enter.
WHATEVER, happens next.
Should the girls THANK THEM????????

ya rat ya!!!!!
"I realise being American you thnk the world began 400 years ago, Mic, but the UK history of immigration goes back a few years earlier than that."

Are you Joe Brands mouth piece or Miriam Margolyes? Britian is a few years more older than 400. But never the less, your precious wee soul prefers living in the west. Must be hard going being the victim.

Do something useful, give your placards and virtual signs to someone that cares. laugh

Is it pence or cents?
i'd like to immigrate and get paid cash. America pays criminals, there must be a law i can break.
No rules, no laws Crypto. Just start up a country where every one wants to emmigrate to. In fact, why don't we just call it the "WEST" lands as we morph into the "WASTE" lands.

Nothing to do with reality unless of course the minority pretends otherwise.
