No other country accepts illegals. So why should the US?
The EU is awash with illegals. Illegals make up, what, 1.5 % of the American population?
Ten % of all residents in Greece are illegal. In a globalised world, with cheap airfare, illegal immigration is going to be a given for all western nations.
Im quoting from memory here - but you guys had an amnesty in the 80s and Spain in the late 90s - which further fuelled illegal immigration. By multiples.
Lets say a lad from the devoloping world plans to migrate to somewhere in the west. He has no third level education, due to no fault of his own, so wont qualify for a green card nor visa. He knows a people smuggler that can get him into any western country. He scrimps and saves to pay the smuggler - then he hears that country x is planning an amnesty for illegals.
Wheres he gonna choose?
