Well, I guess if we've concluded that everybody in North America is an immigrant, it only makes sense that we began to start to protect the borders once we concluded that we already had to many people, and were rapidly devouring the resources.

You live in a country that is rich in natural resources and you have used them rather a lot. That's it really.

Yes well, it's a good time to cut down, I'd say!

Well Ringslinger, a truer word had seldom been said but I'm not sure I see much of a strategy so far - what do you think?

No, no strategy, but paying for 30 years of Reaganomics will probably keep people from consuming as much over the course of the next few years.

I guess you right Ringslinger.

I shouldn't really have joined in this thread without reading the previous 90+ posts. I complain when other people do it on my threads. So I am going out for a Curry and I wish you well.

I must confess I am confused!

Were they lying when they put all that in the history books about North America being opened up by:-

Germans, Englishmen, Irishmen, Poles, Swedes, Russians, French, Chinese, Spanish, Italians, Sicilians, etc. etc.

And you are worried about Mexicans because....?

I'm not sure anyone is worried about Mexicans in particular, it's simply the numbers of people.

Here in the UK we've just had a documentary on the situation of illegal immigrants in Calais. This French coastal town is only 21 miles from Dover and is a gathering place for illegal immigrants from Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea and a few other nationalities. The French interior minister visited the town this week and blamed the situation there on weak UK asylum and immigration controls. There are estimated to be between 2-300 immigrants in Calais at present with more joining them daily. The Brits have a border control at Calais port which involves searching in car boots and lorries to extricate any illegals before boarding the ferries, hence the backlog building up in Calais. Strangely, none of the illegals want to claim asylum in France, which they are perfectly entitled to do, they would rather live rough and eat at the Red Cross soup kitchens than claim asylum and be fingerprinted.This is because once the French take their fingerprints, they will always be returnable to France should they reach the UK and claim asylum. They seem to see the UK as some sort of Eldorado - not sure why though as they would get the same benefits here as are available in any other EU country.

Legal immagration is causing enough problems in the UK without illegal. The south of England has saw a rise in crime in recent years. As reported in the Daily Mail and Telegraph, a lot of it is related to Eastern Europeans.

So the constant search--on both sides of the Pond--for scapegoats goes on.

And several posters have already pointed out how reliable anything in the Daily Mail is.

With the world-wide recession, Poles are now leaving the UK--and returning to Poland--which seems to be doing better than some other countries.

In the US, it's painfully obvious what Mr. Riginslinger's attitude is toward Mexicans. It's the Brown Peril--to add to his other conspiracy theories. His alleged concern with overpopulation only will convince only people who have not followed his postings--in a myriad of threads--for years.

Well if it's in the Mail & Telegraph it must be true.

Imagine how much worse the crime wave would be if all those Brit Crooks had not been taken in by those kind Spaniards.
