| Immigration is not quite the problem - How we handle immigration is the problem.
We should be more picky about the people that move into a country - instead of rolling out the "Welcome" mat we should roll out the "You better have a good reason to want to be here - or you better have something that we would require" mat.
Not stopping there, a law similar to the 'three strikes and you are out' rule should be implemented - out meaning returned to your country of origin. That way if they are from your own country - they face stiffer punishments and if they are from a foreign country then they are sent home, to thier country of Origin.
(Yes, I hear you all say 'What about the threat of death or ill treatment of the returning citizen' - and exatly that 'What about it' - they would not get away with it in thier country of origin so why should we tolerate it here).
They would have to escape a country that may kill them or treat them badly, but in our countries they would stay and argue the case - so in which society would they be better off ?)
