Letting ICE know where illegals are, posting on other Comments boards to make people more aware and so on.

To me: ALL illegal aliens are bad news; even English and Irish people in the US illegally, not just Spanish speaking Indians.

I agree I personally don't mind anyone that moves to my country as long as they pay their way and contribute to society

Well, we have quotas on legal immigration and for good reasons. Coming here illegally is unacceptable. They don't earn their keep. They take jobs from Americans and are a fiscal burden.

I haven't said anything against that.

As long as you're here legally; it's all good.

If an employer can prove he can't hire a citizen for a certain job then I have no problem with them hiring a legal immigrant but that should be a requirement before an immigrant comes here in the first place. They should be able to prove they won't be a burden to our society and have a job waiting for them. I suspect that is one of the reasons we have annual quotas in place. My concern is for the millions of Americans who are unemployed through no fault of their own and are willing to work.

I don't think it is funny but true. Many eastern europeans have left their countries for more opportunity to the West. It is sort of like America back in the early 1800's where opportunity was found in the territories. "Go West Young Man" was a saying back then.

People will always migrate to "greener pastures" The second world will move to the first and the third world people will move to fill the void in the second.

The trouble is today the migrants don't seem to want to assimilate into the society they just burst into but instead they bring their problems with them which brings down the city or country they moved to.

What are the answers?

Unless a country's government is willing to slam the door shut to "immigrants" (and I use that term loosely being this is the illegal immigration forum) who have been known not to assimilate to the host country they will end up being like the country that these refugees/migrants came from. It's time for a country's citizens to be the priority of their governments. As for foreigners wishing to migrate somewhere else because of economic or other reasons it is time that they grew a pair and fixed their own countries. Cold? Maybe. Reality? Yes.
