How will illegal immigration affect and be affected by our postindustrial society?

Answer 1

This is a teriffic question! :)

I think that it can best be answered by looking at patterns of both legal and illegal immigration between 1st and 3rd world countries, between 1st and 1st world countries, and between
3rd and 3rd world countries. Yes there is illegal immigration in all of these.

You can write a book about this but I think that illegal immigration affects postindustrial society by bringing workers to jobs that are seasonal and temporary and where there is low investment by employers or employees. It is possible that illegal immigration into postindustrial economies that are changing and evolving are used as a bridge or as a reserve.

Answer 2

Tancredo, Ron Paul, and Hunter have the most conservative voting records on immigration.

http://www.betterimmigration.com/candidates/2006/prez08_gop3.html
http://www.betterimmigration.com/candidates/2006/prez08_gop1.html

Of these three, Ron Paul has the best chance of winning the Primary election.
Paul's campaign has almost 4 times as much money to spend as Tancredo.

This is his six point plan:
Physically secure our borders and coastlines. We must do whatever it takes to control entry into our country before we undertake complicated immigration reform proposals.
Enforce visa rules. Immigration officials must track visa holders and deport anyone who overstays their visa or otherwise violates U.S. law. This is especially important when we recall that a number of 9/11 terrorists had expired visas.
No amnesty. Estimates suggest that 10 to 20 million people are in our country illegally. That’s a lot of people to reward for breaking our laws.
No welfare for illegal aliens. Americans have welcomed immigrants who seek opportunity, work hard, and play by the rules. But taxpayers should not pay for illegal immigrants who use hospitals, clinics, schools, roads, and social services.
End birthright citizenship. As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be citizens, the incentive to enter the U.S. illegally will remain strong.
Pass true immigration reform. The current system is incoherent and unfair. But current reform proposals would allow up to 60 million more immigrants into our country, according to the Heritage Foundation. This is insanity. Legal immigrants from all countries should face the same rules and waiting periods.

The NAFTA Superhighway might be another significant threat to American borders.

Answer 3

Illegal Aliens are NOT "Immigrants". With that being said, Illegal Aliens usually only come to the US for low-paying service or construction jobs so they can STILL be eligible for Entitlements--Welfare, Medicare, FREE Higher Education.......

The Illegal Aliens for the most part bring crime, disease, poverty, no skills. They are depressing US wages and costing Legal US Citizens $70B+ per year in Entitlement Programs.

Answer 4

Illegal is illegal no matter how you want to spin it. As the industrial jobs leave the U.S. for Mexico, there will be less tax dollars available to spend on the illegals for the services they suck off the government teat like free housing, free health care, free food stamps, and free education. Build the fence. Whoever will build the fence, will win the Presidency.

Answer 5

Exactly. We DON'T need 10 million lettuce pickers. People who compare now to immigration at the turn of the century do not undestand the difference in our economy and society. Mass immigration no longer is benificial.

Answer 8

I hope you mean effect. The current state of our society has nothing to do with it - the third world just wants to export their poor and criminals and import dollars. And the wealthy in the first world want cheap, exploitable labor. It is bringing us down to third world status.
