Why is it becoming increasingly difficult for questioners to pose clear questions, instead of vague questions?\n\nIf you talking about free flow between countries, virtually all countries control immigration.  So the difficulty is not increasing.

International rules aren't that strict. It's often determined by which country you are a citizen of, not where you are born. There are even some exceptions to that, however.

Because this is America and you can do whatever you want until you get cuaght. Perhaps the police are taking the same stand on drug laws as immigration laws The problem is just too big so o well lets just let them do what ever they want.

Whoa!! That's something we don't have. We're too generous. Typical. Then they come into our backyard and start asking for equality. Let's put the breaks on, people! I'm not against the fact that Latins come into our country, the problem is that they should be smart and considerate and ask the US embassy in their country for a temp visa or something in order to get in. The US government would then check every certain time to see which person's time is up. The person involved should have a chance to choose whether to get full residency in the US or go home.

A lot of times it tends to happen because they are surrounded by so many other people that also dont assimilate, that they form their own little community (often even complete with community grocery stores, jobs, etc) so that they arent forced to assimilate- it lets them get by without doing it.  If they move to an area where that doesnt exist, I think you tend to see them assimilate pretty fast.

Most of the time. However, remeber that inmigrants who are already been granted with citizenship or with residency and have been living in the states for long time, most of the time remain to do the same jobs they were doing at first, which are blue collar jobs or low paid jobs that don't require formal education. why? there's a lot of discrimination to inmigrants and specially to latins in the states, this is why, job opportunities are NOT Equal for everyone. And of course, some inmigrants do not have any education what so ever to fullfill the requirements of a very demanding labour market. But the ones that do have the education... don't have the opportunities and their skills and education sometimes are not assessed completetly so they have to study again or for more time in the states to reach their level of education, but with the high fees of superior education, this is most of the times impossible for an inmigrant. So, to remain in their casual or permanent jobs with lower wages is their only option. Thay can't choose sometimes. But, this is changing in the last decades. Now, inmigrants are very well educated and can adapt easily to the system. So, It's hard and there are so many reasons behind "doing what an american wouldn't do". More opinions?

I believe in freedom.  If someone lives in an opressive country I can't fault them for wanting to move somewhere more free.  However, they must be prepared for dealing with things like people who are biased/prejudiced against them for any number of reasons.\n\nIf you immigrate to a new place, it is recommended to work very hard, learn the language and customs, and try to fit in.  The biggest problem with immigrants for a lot of people are finding out that the immigrants are abusing the freedoms/opportunities they find in their new place.

I think it is ridiculous that Mexican(or other) immigrants come over here illegally on a daily basis while hard working, educated people, such as yourself, are not allowed to come over legally.

That is tough...because it is based on immigration law and their is section and code.. to ask for it completely would be like me trying to rewrite the Bible...

Most of the people complain about why immigrants come here ilegally, so they should all agree.  If it wasn't so hard to do things the right way, all immigrants would be here legally.

It angers me that law abiding immigrants are being demonized the way they are.  They arent the problem the problem is and has been corporate outsourcing of jobs overseas.  The only problem I have is that because there are few incentives for these hard working immigrants to spread out they're not being thrown into learning english as well as years past.  By all means, come here, work hard, obey the law, spend money, and give your family a better life.

when my grandparents came to this county they could not, by law,speak German outside there own home or they were in trouble ,they had to become American citizens or get deported, had to learn English,and had to have a job. They worked hard for 50cents a day. No food stamps, no help, and no free ride.When today's people coming here do the same I'll say they can stay,the Plains Indian part of me ,says i want every one to go back where they came from.Because they sure haven't improved anything being here.

Because it's human nature to take the "path of least resistance" and it has been proven over and over to them that it is easier and faster to get a better life for themselves by coming illegally to the USA than to stay home and cause the needed changes there.

They can, but they have to abide by the same laws as everyone else. Though I think some of the immigration laws may need to change soon.
