Bren find myself agreeing with you. And that all the entire generational issue of illegal immigration should be forced to relocate back to their ancestrial homelands! Even if that illegal immigation was a forced migrants bound in iron chains!

Given Terra nulus doesn't and never ever did stack up. It would seem all of us that have migratted here subsequetially, have no bonafide staus as legal citizens. I'd be okay, have a neice in Ireland, with a couch I could probably surf on? You?

Yeah, but what about the facts that

(1) migrants take our jobs, and

(2) none of them want to work, they all want to live on the welfare payments forked out by Aussie tax-payers.

And anyway, look at the congestion they cause. Traffic congestion gets about 5 % worse each year in Sydney, and guess what the migrant intake is: yes, 5 %. Migrants cause congestion, that's logically obvious.

Oops, all of my ancestors were not only migrants, but most of them convicts as well. Nothing serious, just thieves, from one end of Britain to the other.

Please ignore this post.

I think they should give them all citizenship, & jobs as professors at NYU.

We would then see how much the elite like immigration, when it is their jobs on the line.

Should improve the average IQ of the teaching staff at NYU too.

Quote "Trump's demand of $20 billion to build a wall along the Mexican border is misguided, impractical, and a waste of precious resources that can change the lives of millions of people if invested wisely in these poverty-stricken countries."

Please advise exactly what you mean by "if invested wisely in these poverty-stricken countries."

A lot more than $20 billion has gone into Africa over the past years and it is still a wreck.

Don't come back with this it has already been tried.
"A fraction of $20 billion would change the socio-economic conditions in these countries. One billion dollars invested in economic development projects can provide food, drinking water, jobs, self-empowerment, and hope for better life for a million poor, displaced, and despairing people."

One problem is it is not a small community that needs fixing it is the countries as a whole in Central American.

I don't support the migrants or open borders agendas;
- but I'll meet the author halfway with an interesting book.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Unless, of course, they're the wrong sort of huddled masses yearning to be free. Apparently 'Murica has fulfilled its manifest destiny; they're full so f*&k off.
