Teejay, what's your point? The number of illegal immigrants per capita in UK (4/60) and Australia (1.3/21) are are roughly the same as in the US (20/300).

Oh Sorry I was saying that 20 million illegal immigrants and their childern in the USA would be the same as 4 million in UK and 1.3 million in Australia. There are only 50,000 illegal immigrants here in Australia.

Depends on the type. Illegal swedes would be pretty safe,
in terms of number of kids. Then again, many Mexicans don't
bring the little ones.

They are all estimates though. The fact is no country knows how many illegals the country has, i have heard of estimates of up to 2 million for the UK.

And in what way are Australia and the UK comparable with the US? From where would they get their illegal immigrants? Boat refugees from Ireland or New Zealand?

For us (UK) they walk through the tunnel (or ride the back of a lorry) , catch a plane or take a boat.

I didn't know you could walk through the chunnel.... isn't it close to 30 miles long or something??

I heard there are like 20 million illegal immigrants and their children in the USA (comparable to 1.3 million in Australia and 4 million in UK). Why hasn't the government there done anything to prevent more illegal immigrants coming like border fencing, vastly more patrols, serious punishment for employers who hire illegal immigrants and make life as unpleasant as possible for those wanting to enter the USA illegally.

it is a tough issue.  it kinda goes against our philosophy and history to completely close the borders.



and, if you are really curious, then i suggest you follow the money trail.  that usually points to the logic of the seemingly illogical.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious why Bush is so illegal immigrant friendly, if you think about it.
It's definitely true that there's no way to know exactly how many illegals there are; in this city, the Hispanic population is supposed to be something like 30% according to the last census, but I'd place it more around 50%.

Our illegal immigrants are visa over stayers, we used to have some coming by boats from Indonesia (they came from places like Iraq and Afghanistan in first place) and claiming asylum, before the government decided to process them on islands like Nauru.
