I'm a Brit, we have much tougher rules on immigration and they're applied to the letter. I have read down your posts and I can whole heartedly say, you are deluded.
I shall reply to this post on jobs. Yes they work hard, they work so hard, many unscrupulous employers take advantage of them, side-stepping minimum wage laws, not taking and paying the correct level of employment taxes, and taking jobs away from legal citizens.
The US and UK have immigration laws and you can enter through the correct channels, and when the likes of visas expire, leave by correct channels. When you don't comply with immigration laws, then it's a crime. That's where the word "illegal" comes into play.
And why should citizens be concerned with illegal immigration? Well, at our tax paying cost, we developed a good standard of living and infrastructure. Why give this away free to our own detriment, why over burden infrastructure to our own detriment, why erode our own standard of living?
The UK government's study found that as population grew due to legal and illegal immigration, GDP growth was .7% below population growth. That means, immigration does not pay it's way. It also found the higher end wages increased, whilst lowering the already low wage sector. So, immigration that Lefties hold so dear to their hearts, make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
And finally, Lefties want all this at the cost of others, but not to themselves. So what I propose is, everyone by law MUST be on a national immigration register. You are either in favour of, or, against illegal immigration. The yearly calculated costs to your country from illegal immigration is shared out equally between those on the register who favour illegal immigration.
So the cost is $116bn. The US has approx 200 million eligible voters and say a third approve of illegal immigration. So 116bn divided by 66mn, means they will receive a yearly invoice of $1,757. And those who default paying that amount, their property is seized and sold to cover all costs and expenses. I'm sure less and less Lefties will be on the illegal immigration bandwagon as the years pass and the costs to them increases.
