He must not understand how the European Union works.

You know... The Man...

So, how will it ?

Its an issue I see all too well where I am surrounded by immigrants and the associated problems!

Making sure people are treated equally I think would help a lot, and I don't mean helping the immigrants!

Hasn't anyone ever had the crazy idea of actually improving the quality of life in Mexico in order to stem the flood-tide of illegal immigrants?

I find it disgusting how many people (like VTV in this link) don't even try to understand the situation in its entire scope.

People DIE crossing the Sonoran Desert in order to seek better living conditions.

>>I agree, the media makes the Mexicans look like a menace sometimes though.<<
Which is fucking ridiculous.
I remember seeing a news segment on Youtube about Bill O'Reilly yelling at an interviewee over an illegal immigrant who killed someone drunk driving.

Like I said, most of these people aren't drug dealers or lazy douchebags trying to ruin the USA.

They're trying to *survive*. And as far as they know, the USA offers the *financial opportunity* and *security* that they need to survive.

> most of these people aren't drug dealers or lazy douchebags trying to ruin the USA.

In the UK we have a bit of a problem in that area, whilst we have hard working immigrants coming here, we also have a lot of scamers too. (Often rich in their own country, they come here, scam us and go back home with their bounty..)

Its perhaps the denial of this happening that pisses people off, as political correctness means everyone has to say nice things all the time.

That is the better option indeed.

Though...

Plenty of people have shitty lives in the west as it is, should we really be helping everyone else first and not our own folk ?

Both would be ideal.

At the moment what is happening is our own people are not being helped, whilst the immigrants are, and this is what annoys so many common poor folk at the bottom, and why the right is gaining support because mainstream political parties are avoiding this particular hot potato.

Note: I've met hard working legal and illegal immigrants, and scam artists too. (I remember one asking me if I could help him find a cheap passport making machine on the internet for him..)

I've also heard from the mouths of hard working immigrants who really deserve to be here, complaining about the illegal immigrants ruining this country for them..

So its not entirely as easy to solve as one might think, there are layers of complexitity which mean if one does build a shiney new world community, one will have the same trouble with immigrants wanting to move in, and shanty towns on your doorstep.

As one might say, you can help some of the people some of the time, but can you help all the people all of the time.. ?
