Illegal immigrants should be paid the same wages as citizens.
woah.. I got half way through reading this thread and I was gonna just give up and post the same link

Anyway, maddox is totally right.. Immigrants aren't taking anything from anybody! They're just willing to work harder and for less money than you. If that bothers you, then here's a hint: If you apply for a job that pays 20 dollars per hour, and an 'immigrant' gets it because they're willing to work for 18, then you should either be willing to work for that or less.

What I don't understand (and this is something I don't think I'll ever understand) is why do people think they own a piece of land just because they were born there? Americans think they own America, English people think they own England, Yugoslavian people think they own Yugoslavia. Well, that's bullshit. The Earth is (or should be!!) a free planet. The Earth belongs to itself, not to anybody else. We didn't make it, we didn't build it, and we certainly don't own any of it.

One more thing: When I tell people that I disagree wholeheartedly against armed forces, war, 'Defence', etc, they usually say 'But we need to be defended, blah blah blah, wah wah wah.." to this I reply "Well, if no country had any armed forces/military, then no country would need any armed forces/military". I know this will (probably) never happen, but it would be the ideal situation. Just because the Earth is such a fuck up i'm not going to start agreeing with armies and war, etc.. (I'm going off on a bit of a tandem here; i'll get to my point)

This is how I feel about immigration. If the whole planet had no boundries, or if every country had an 'open border', then there would be no need for immigration laws, and there would most probably be alot less of this racist they're-stealing-our-jobs attitude. Just because that isnt how things are, it doesnt mean the situation we're in ts right. Quit being so fucking nationalistic. There are people in the world less fortunate then you.

PS: This wasnt directed at anyone imparticular, unless youre one of the people it was directed at. Im stoned off my ass, and half asleep but cant sleep, so nothing im saying probably makes sense. Wibble kashpunty flargamj.
