Hmmm ... yes and no ....\n\nThe United Kingdom has a large population of muslims, mainly from what was once part of the British Empire ... untold millions from Pakistan for example ... the majority of them are peaceful, but there's no doubt they are on a mission to take over the country ... and with the influx of the Eastern European countries into the European Union, Britain will also have to deal with any number of Romanians, Bulgarians and Polish people ... all out to create a "better life" for themselves ...\n\nIt won't be long before Britain, as we know it, will be but a fond memory, and it's all due to spineless governments who are desperately afraid of not being PC enough ....\n\nWe don't have the same problem in the U.S. YET ... but give it another few years of unhindered illegal immigration, and we'll soon be there ... as another respondent pointed out, it really is only a matter of time ....\n\nAs for the Mexican population being docile ... well, don't know about that ... it's not in their interest and in their religion to murder "infidels", granted ... but they're not above destroying this country with gangs and illegal drug smuggling, not to mention taking over office ... appears to me that what they want to achieve with this mass invasion is not so much to become part of the United States, but rather make the United States a part of Mexico ... give it time, and that will be achieved.  In years to come, you will indeed still be able to live here, and work, as long as you speak Spanish and do the jobs the Mexicans won't do ... :)   The United States will have become a Third World country of course, but nobody seems to be willing to look that far ahead ... \n\nSay goodbye to good quality education, healthcare and a pension ... and if you're a blue collar worker, say goodbye to even having a job ... and if you're not, chances are your job will be outsourced ... \n\nPersonally I think it's sad to see traditional Western cultures go down the drain, but that's inevitable if we continue on the same course ... I think the Canadians had better look out, because it won't be long before sh*t hits the fan up there ... I foresee an influx of disgruntled Americans, followed by another influx of Latinos, who by then will be tired of not being able to cream off the by then non-existent welfare system in the United States, and will look to creaming off the Canadian welfare system ... \n\nBut hey, why worry, main thing is that people can go and live where they like, uncontrolled and unhindered, right?

The government knew.  I think that is the first time ordinary people took the time to look up the statistics and find out how much of the problem they saw from immigration was in fact from illegal immigration. The crime and cost and education impacts are daunting, once you look them up.

Because this is the US and we are expected to furnish the rest of the world with what ever they need. I am an immigrant who came here legally. And that's the way it should be.  I have seen what's happened England with open borders. The country is now a financial mess.

So do I understand that there are better records on emigration than on immigration. And birthrates as compared to deaths.\n\nI think someone is cooking the book here for a political gain.

Immigration is not the problem. The problem is illegal immigration, ie people who sneak across the border illegally. Think about it: the very first thing they do when they get here is break the law. They refuse to learn our language or assimilate into our culture. They don't pay into the tax system, but they sure reap the benefits.\n\nWhen my great grandparents came to the US, they waited at Ellis Island until they were permitted entry. They spoke Yiddish only when they didn't want their children to know what they were saying. They learned to become Americans, and expected no special treatment.

Problem #1: Population \n\nThe first problem I see with the current state of the immigration laws is the significant rise in population that has, and will, continue to occur over the next fifty years. According to the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), an estimated 1.1 million immigrants, both legal and illegal, enter the United States every year. 700,000 of these are legal immigrants; 120,000 are refugees, and between 250,000 to 300,000 are undocumented or illegal “aliens” ( Baldwin, 1995). The United States population at the moment is roughly 288 million people. If this trend of aliens is not decreased, the population will reach 400 million by 2050. How many people can America hold? \n\nProblem #2: Benefits Illegal Aliens Recieve \n\nCurrently, under federal law, undocumented foreign citizens are eligible for emergency healthcare, free schooling from kindergarten through high school, and W.I.C. or Woman, Infants, and Children nutritional program ( Baldwin, 1995). This is important to note because there are currently between eight and ten million aliens currently living illegally in the United States. An estimated 2.5 million of these illegal aliens currently reside in the state of California alone, due to the agricultural jobs that are readily available for cheap labor (Kadetsky, 102). It should not be surprising then that the residents of California were outraged over the amount of money that they were being forced to spend, and the amount of resources that were being used to support aliens that are not “allowed” to be in the United States in the first place. \n\n \n\nProblem #3: Homeland Security\n\nIn the Fiscal year of 2002, which runs October 1 through September 30, the United States Coast Guard, which is the country’s primary maritime, or sea going, law enforcement agency, intercepted 4104 immigrants from various South American countries (USCG, Para 2). Since then, the numbers of immigrants intercepted by the Coast Guard, has continued to climb at an alarming rate; jumping to almost 11,000 in 2004, 9,500 in 2005, and currently with less than two months into the 2006 physical year, there have already been 1,000 migrants accounted for and processed through the Coast Guard (USCG, Para 1). Illegal immigration can potentially cost American tax payers billions of dollars a year. The United States Coast Guard, whose primary obligation is to prevent the loss of life at sea, can not stop this problem by its self, it is mearly the first line of defense. It is up to the rest of America to join the fight and help put an end to this awful practice.

Short answer... yes.\n\nLong answer... The government really needs to look at having the "right type" of immigrants permitted entry. Back home in Australia, the government has a restriction on immigration. You have to prove that you have the funds and/or job to support yourself and won't be sponging off the government and taxpayers. Over here, it just seems that they'll let anybody in and then give them a house and benefits too. And just from what I've seen, a British person has to first prove they don't need any help before they get some. I'm not surprised British people are leaving the country in large numbers.... they seem to be becoming a minority in their own country.

I'm not English, I'm Welsh.\n\nBut the same problems that you have in England we have in Wales.  \n\nToo much immigration, not enough jobs, not enough affordable homes, people living below the poverty line, politicians who don't give a damn, under funded health service.\n\nIf things dont get better I'll be voting BNP and thats a real shocker as we're all devout Labour/Socialists round here.  But we've seem the mess that so-called "Labour" (Nye Bevan would be spinning in his grave at that title being applied to Blair and his cronies) have made of this country.  No thanks.

In the last 4 months there have been 6 murders in less than a mile of were i live,a shooting ,stabbing ,throat slashing ,hit and run and a man beaten to death by a gang of teenagers walking home with his wife from the pub to name some...and I live in what used to be classed as a good area????so when you ask is our government tough on crime my answer would have to be No! I really fear for my children's future and would leave the UK without a second thought had i the money to do so.It makes me so sad that this country is ruled by people who are scared of doing the right thing because it might offend someone or infringe on human rights.Its time to put the law abiding honest hardworking overtaxed population first -please please please stop all this madness now !

I hope someday happens. I think the US government should see both sides of the problem with illegal immigration and then decide what to do.\n\nI really have faith that the problem will someday be solve, soon or later it will be solved. I am just scared, because if it takes long time for this to happen, I am scared that a civil war will end this up. If is not a civil war, then it will be something worst.\n\nI hope both sides understnad the problem, but I am sure that people, immigrants, will let the government know that they don't like what they are doing.
