Most are unskilled workers. They will also drain the society. Like what Lj said before, we have a limited amount of jobs.

No country can sustain unlimited population. We're struggling now.....image if everyone that wanted to could just walk in. Where do you think they'd all live by the way? There are limits....

Just look at California for Justification. 2 Million + Illegals and they have a Ridiculous amount of debt.

So what if we had a different problem . . . like an exploding birth rate? Should we kill new born babies or place a birth limit on parents since we have limited resources? lol

The very fact that citizens procreate is actually the reason to limit immigration...which I stated several times already. Space, jobs, resources are finite. You cannot allow unlimited growth. Thus immigration has to be measured.

So, It's just a Coincidence that they have the largest amount of Illegals out of all the States and they're in a Gigantic amount of debt?

The forces of supply and demand will still exist even with open borders. The labor markets, the real estate markets, ect will all adjust accordingly. And it's not like the U.S. is cramped and short of space.

No. You are proposing unlimited individuals with limited resources. It doesn't work that way. Land can't be created to house people.

uh, yeah actually. And other states also have HUGE debt burdens. California's debt problem has much much more to do with it's public unions and its government throwing money into stupid projects like the high-speed train from SF to LA.

So suppose we close the border, but have a 100% increase in the birth rate. Does your limited space argument justify the killing new born babies or imposing birth limits on families.

But part of Californias problem is also illegal immigration. It may not be the only problem...but it is a problem.

Not at all. People do die as well. But you cannot allow for an endless stream of people into the country. At least not unless you want to become a third world country in the future....

While i'm not a fan of open borders, i think it should be noted that Europe now has completely open borders for any European country, and this is of course a reasonably recent development. It did not lead to the catastrophic collapse of society as many said it would however, and in fact actually bolstered the economy due to the free movement of work and capital.

Land won't magically be created to house people, but land's not the issue. There is plenty of land in the U.S., and if and when there isn't any more land, then that means that there isn't any more land and so due to the economic forces that be, less and less people will start coming to the U.S.

People die now with immigration too. There are different ways to have a "stream" of people in the country. If your not willing to apply the limited resource argument to birth rates, why is it okay to apply it to immigration?

Reread your wording....reasonably recent development. That ends discussion. I never said overnight.:|

Because birth rates happen.....unless you advocate murder.Which I do not. However, endless streams of people crowding a country will have an adverse affect. No country can sustain overpopulation.

Yes but as i said the economy in Europe has improved over the last forty years, not declined. Open borders has not created any of the problems people said it would.

Correlation does not prove causation. The EU might have something to do with it....it's too early to assume it will continue that way nor that unlimited immigration problems won't creep up. I've read reports of unrest due to immigration and some problems due to immigration in Europe. So we shall see....

Immigration happens . . . has happened for as long as living things existed. High birthrates can have an adverse effect too, look at what high birth rates forced China to do. For a long while, the chinese had strict rules governing the size of families. There's an economist article from a while back that talks about how 70 million girls have died due to birth restrictions imposed by countries with overpopulation problems due to high birthrates. So again, if overpopulation can be caused by high birthrates, why not impose legislation to limit birthrates if you're so concerned about limited resources?

I can't understand illegal immigrants. It's so easy to get into the country here legally. We should be making standards for legal immigration stricter and putting illegal immigrants on the next barge to Antarctica.

The solution isn't to create sticks on the US side of the border, it's to create carrots on the other side of the border. If people live in a successful and wealthy country, they wont want to leave in as large numbers.

In the ideal scenario I mentioned, people wouldn't grow drugs. The main reason heroin is such a problem is because farmers in poor countries can earn more from growing it than crops.

Yep, Texas has a large amount of illegals too, but their budget is in decent shape. Cali has much bigger problems than illegals. The public unions being the biggest problem. illegals contribute (cause Cali extends benefits to them), but not nearly to the extent that people think.

Texas doesn't have over 2 Million Illegals. "California is the leading state of residence, with 2.0 million, or 40 percent of the undocumented population. The 7 states with the largest estimated numbers of undocumented immigrants-- California (2.0 million)"

The number has probably gone way up since this study: http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/statistics/illegal.pdf

damn that's an old ass study. TX has 1.7 illegals. Cali has about 3.7 now. Substitute a high birthrate in Cali for illegals in Cali, the budget problem would still exist. The problem is that California has a broken system. Texas has a much better system and their budget is in decent shape . . . and the TX economy is in awesome shape in cities like Huston.

Illegals probably make up over 40% of the Population in California now. You have to admit they at least contribute to the problem.

Read the Link I posted. And even if it was 10% it's still a substantially larger amount than any other state.

See now, this argument must be getting to you because you chose to begin insulting me. It really isn't necessary in an argument, it doesn't bode well. You're trying to deny that the large amount of illegals has nothing to do with the debt?

I'm not insulting you, you failed at reading your own link properly. An insult would be calling you stupid, which I didn't do. Now, I've already said to what extent illegals are responsible for debt problems in cali. But the idea that illegals mean debt problems is just wrong. Texas has a lot of illegals too, but their system of government is much more limited than cali's. Texas could take on all of cali's immigrant population, and they still wouldn't have near the problems cali has with debt. Cali's debt problem would exists with ANY increase in population size, whether it be illegal immigrants or people from other states moving to cali. Cali's system is the thing that is unsustainable, they over promised.

In Texas the size of Illegals compared to the rest of the population is very small. In California they make up a decent size, therefore they contribute to the debt. Hospitals have been closed due to the sheer volume of Illegals clogging them up. http://www.diggersrealm.com/mt/archives/000060.html

dude, cali's illegals are 10% of total population . . . texas is 6.8% of total pop. Is that a huge difference . . . not really. Again, cali's problem would be the same with ANY increase in population. The problem is the system itself. Would hospitals be closing if the governments didn't MANDATE care? Hell no.

That doesn't erase the fact that Illegal Immigrants do in fact play a role in their debt.

"A study done by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) found the cost of illegal immigrants in California to amount to $10.5 billion annually. This figure includes the cost of incarceration, health care, and education of illegal immigrants. "
