New Imigration Reform

[eppie]

EDIT: Sorry, should have been a reply to kandrathe's post.
Hmm, I thought that was how redistribution from rich to poor happened, in reality. We (western industrial nations) have a crapload, make that CRAPLOAD more money, resources, everything than people who were unfortunate to be born in the wrong country. We (our countries) waste millions upon millions of euros/dollars by mismanagement etc. and thousands of tons of food rot before they get eaten.

Well, such is the way of the world. But to complain about illegal immigrants being a drain on society... Bleh. Yes they are, yes it's illegal, yes, there are better ways to help those people or countries less fortunate than ourselves. Just nobody does it. Or only pretends to be oh so concerned with the wellbeing of others.

I agree with this.

Also I think many of the illegal immigrants play an important role in the economy. They work hard in jobs that nobody wants AND they do it without having the right on social benefits, because they are illegal.
I don't think that the economic impact of having illegal immigrants is so negative, probably it even is positive.
The other issue (related) is the problem of industries moving to cheap labout countries to have their work done. People complain about this, but the other possibility is bankrupcy for these big companies, and nobody benefits from that.

The point I am trying to make is that globalisation works in two ways. We in the west have more possibilities of finding the cheapest way of getting our nice things produced, but people from those porer country's also want a share of the goodies, and I can't blame them.
