Why is United States the only country having illegal immigrant crisis? How are other countries avoiding this?!

Question

I stand corrected, I did not know that other countries were haivng just as big of a problem with illegals than the US. The US and it's border problems are what you here about the most nowdays. At least in some of the spanish speaking countries where immigration is a problem, most of them speak some form of spanish and can understand each other somewhat, here in the US, that is not the case! Plus, it seems to me that the ohter countries do somewhat enforce their immigration rules stronger than the US has done over the years. This has been a problem in the US long beofre Bush, I not sure if it has been a problem in other countires as long as it has been in the US. nonetheless, I stand corrected, and for those of you that had nothing but insults to throw at me, you can assume everyone makes mistakes and is entitled to an opinion, and I was simply giving mine, if that is okay with you?

Answer 1

Other countries also have an illegal immigration crisis. France, Australia, England and others suffer huge inflows of illegals.

The US is being overrun by illegal immigrants with a unifying identity and faces political control by outside forces. It is a crisis.

America is te best place on the planet to live, despite what the media and liberals would have you believe. People from all over the world realize the freedom provided to follow your dreams here, and want a piece of it. They will risk everything to try. Now, on top of trying to make us believe that we are actually a horrible people, the left would also have us believe that we are racisit and bigotted to try to protect the way of like that we value and that makes America America and so great. The would use the "white guilt" complex to promote this, and lambast anyone who would advocate protecting our borders. Other countries do not suffer from this and simply do what needs to be done, whether it is a bad-to-the-bone fence like Israel (and the one Saudi Arabia is planning), requiring voter id's, or simply incredibly stringent immigration and citizenship policies. Simply look at how the government of Mexico handles it's own southern border and you can see how we could illiminate the illegal immigration problem.

Other countries do, in fact have the same problems. Look at France and Britain and the problems they are having with the muslim immigrant population. These problems arose because those countries did not protect their borders in their own way.

Well, this is America. The land of open doors, the land of better opportunities, no matter where one lives in the world. Everyone and almost anyone wud wanna come to America. Even though one posses the highest degree, still this person wud wanna come to american for a better life. American provide many things, there's always something to do even though life maybe hard, one can always find another way to make money. Even though this person is illegal;can do off the book jobs and other jobs that citizen of the U.S will not do
Also, not many countries in the world are having immirgrant issues compar to America, some have none, some do have, some is not a problem for the country and the people, some in some point it is a problem...furhter importantly, america is a free market economic country therefore everyone desires to come here.....

Answer 4

The United States is not the only country. Something very similar is happening in Germany, France, England, Australia, and several other countries around the world. And every one of these countries are having similar difficulties with deciding what to ultimately do about it.

However, the United States is unique only in that the immigrant population will soon, based on immigration projections, outnumber the historically native-born population resulting in very fundamental changes in government, culture, and more. This will not happen in the other countries mentioned above for perhaps another twenty to thirty years after that (after the US).

Answer 5

Your ignorance of world affairs is astounding.
Spain receives illegal immigrants from Africa daily, they show up on their shores.
Italy receives illegal Albanian immigrants.
Japan has a similar problem with Chinese and Filipinos.
Many Middle Easterners and Vietnamese frequently overstay their visas in Europe.
Even Dominican Republic, a developing nation, has a problem with Haitians crossing the border.

Its natural for poorer people to seek greener pastures, however they can.
It's not that they're trying to pick on the "good ol' USA"

Answer 6

Other countries have the problem too, but maybe not as bad. The reason it is not as bad is because eithr the country is not as desirable to come into as the usa (that is they treat the average citizen worse than in usa) or they enforce their own immigration laws more effectively, or they are geographically located in a position where it is harder to get to. For example, I doubt if Iceland or Greenland have much of a problem.

Answer 7

Other countries avoid the illegal immegration thing by having corrupt governments, terrible standards of living and a general education system that is awful.

Now, don't give me crap about Republican or Democrat corruption. I mean things such as Mexican police that take money from drug dealers to look the other way while the drug dealers kill the families of their rivals. I mean African governments that take relief food away from their people and watch them starve without pity or arm rebels that go into the villages to rape and cut off the arms of 8-year-old boys so they can never hold a weapon if they grow up.

The US has the best overall standard of living in the world.

Answer 8

Spain ,France, Italy, are having illegal immigrant crisis. Do you know that?
Hundreds of Africans (from Morocco... ) swim shoreward every day.

The demography sucks in Europe USA and Canada
the Americans Europeans and Canadians don't want to have quiver full

Answer 9

Other countries also have huge problems. The UK in particular, not to mention the rest of the modern, industrialized countries. The modern EU countries are being flooded with uneducated, poor 3rd-world immigrants partly due to their former colonization of those countries. There are giant slums loaded with immigrants growing in all countries, including the Scandinavians

Answer 10

Were you born brain dead or did it take you a while to get this way. Europe just agreed on ways to control illegals. Mexico routinely dumps Guatemalans in jail and tosses them back, Canada hasn't figured out yet what to do, England has a big problem, forget Brazil, they are totally out of control. Have you noticed that no one is illegally or legally trying to get into Iran, N Korea, China, or any of the other worker's paradises.
