your missing the arguement on immigrantion. Come across within the scope of the current system - I am all for the individual wanting to come to the United States to make his/her life better. Come across outside the system, illegal, while I understand their desire to improve their lives, by law they must return to their country of origin.

So you have missed the point rory your lumping illegal and legal immigrantion together and setting yourself up for a false arguement.

And look at how the Americans viewed this first wave of migrants... Oh, they're in reserves and were almost wiped out.
not even close to what the majority thinks about illegal immigrantion.

China will lower your wages as soon as they decide to stop buying their own goods back (they're sitting on reserves of 1 TRILLION dollars). You might like to make something yourself in the meantime.
Remember two can play that game. The United States could decide to impose trade tariffs on Chinese goods, which would increase the potenial for the goods to be made elsewhere to include the United States. China understands this as well as the rest of the world.

Oh, and if you think that border controls can be sufficient to prevent a determined al Quaeida... well, it's very naive.

And a lack of border controls does what?
