I'm not sure what you know of that process, but it's not very easy to get into America legally...

It's not an arguement. It's a clear question that I don't understand. I think Manifest Destiny and Imperialism are wrong. Why do we have a birthright to land that they don't? It's really not just America that has these problems..

I'm speaking from a viewpoint of someone who is rather well off and doesn't need to emigrate, but I think before judging them too harshly, you should consider that they do that out of sheer desperation...that's all really.

I should also note that I do sort of agree with you, you can't have an open door policy, those days are long gone, but clearly they aren't taking your jobs and the money spent on them can't be as significant as you make it out to be.

Night all, have fun.

i too, have no need to emigrate, and while i understand the humanitarian view point,...i would also like to point out i'm not judgeing them as people, i'm judgeing what they do to the economy
i understand that what they are doin is often out of desperation,...however why not reform their own country?

anyway,...i'm gonna bow out of this for the time being,......supper's here,....

yea that's never really done it for me. I kind of have a lot of philosophical issues with the concept of ownership but that really is a different topic.

I've been reading Kropotkin. =/ As if i wasn't a already a big bag of red and yellow.

How can the poor and uneducated reform their own countries?
