Do any major countries have an "open"/unrestricted immigration policy? Which countries accept the most

Question

immigrants or have the most liberal immigration policies?

Answer 1

Canada is currently accepting a lot of immigrants, but just 10 years ago it was closed tighter than a drum. They now need more residents and there are jobs available for them. Historically, the US has had the most liberal immigration policies. Australia DOES NOT have liberal immigration policies. They have some very large detention centers, though.

Answer 2

Um, Ann, France USED to have a fairly open immigration policy. They now accept only skilled workers and are gearing up for major deportations under a newly passed law.

Canada is still fairly liberal, but then they still have a lot of space per capita, more like we were a few generations back.

Answer 3

Canada accepts tons, and would like to accept more who applies. Australia is fairly open. Holland was extremely open in the 1980s, but had to start closing down after the influx.

Answer 4

Bush has decided to open up our borders for everyone, its called the North American Union.
Neo-Cons are pissed and claim Bush is a traitor.

I think Bush has lost his mind, the lights on but nobody's home. Neo-Cons say Bush will eliminate America by doing this.

The damage this will do to our country is huge. Click on this link and read for yourself what the Neo-Cons are saying. This is from a Republican Conservative magazine. http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=15839

Answer 5

My understanding is that France has a very open immigation policy. See what happened to them with all the riots?

Answer 6

It's a FELONY to be an illegal alien in Mexico.

They jail (and many times abuse) illegal aliens from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras caught on their territory.
