i'm not talking about illegals, i'm talking about immigrants who come here on a student visa, and then are told to go back to their own country to work rather than being told they can stay and work.

would you rather them be US workers and taxpayers or start yet another company in india?

Oh, that, the students/grad students/PhDs with expiring paperwork. Yes, if they can contribute and build another Yahoo/Google/Intel/Apple, of course.


I thought you were talking about ILLEGALS that say "we will go to high school, graduate, and become US citizens" then hell no.

I can live with serving the US military in combat for 5 years at least with honor then you can be a US citizen. No community service bullcrap. And absolutely no "go to school , graduate, and become US citizen". Hell, then 99% of Asians will come here and qualify for sure.

I might be able to back this one... though you would have to be careful or you would be training them to conquer you - if you get the wrong type of people in the program... instead of 30 million plain illegal immigrants - you would have 30 million trained soldiers... good if they are actually loyal to your side - bad if they are not...

Of course, ILLEGALS come from all walk of life and from all countries around the world but the sheer number/volume of ILLEGALS are from Mexico and/or Central/South America.

At least the Asians (overstayed visas in your case) can read/write English plus have skill/education and I don't have to put up with "Press 2 for Spanish" crap.

By the way if we are going to talk about the fall of Rome then you have to realize that it was the Romans who caused the fall of Rome not the Germanics. The Romans allowed their civilization to become infested lazyness, entitled ignorance, and corruption to the point they could not even keep a standing army and had to rely on the Germanic warriors for protection. The Germanics are only the sympton and not the cause of the fall of Rome. But blame this on individual Mexican immigrants if you want to.

Rome fell because they tried to raise taxes too much.

The Eastern part of the empire continued for quite some time, though.

You use two of the worst countries you could find to make your point? Italy and Australia are home to massive racism. Add to that the massive illegal immigrants in Italy are there because of the massive crime and corruption in Italy that brought them there and you know who to blame. You could find other countries who have restricted immigration that are not cesspools.

The illegals are in Italy because, umm, it's a peninsula and when you're crossing by boat it's the closest place to land. Greece is having a lot of problems for the same reason.

Those two want to change the EU's immigration policy because, well frankly, they're getting hosed. Kind of hard to land your boat on the shores of Germany etc.
