Did he force the 15 million illegals to come here or did he want people to do it legally? I'll bet more people are here illegally than those that came here as the results of his immigration work.

Ill offer a little guess-work.

Knowing the danger and exploitation, I doubt he "want's people to come here Illegally, but once they are here, he does everything to keep'em and add'em to his other tally.

One angle the writer did not seem to touch on (or maybe I missed it) was the oft cited reason:

Dems are using immigration to build an unbeatable voter base dependent on Govt Programs.

Very few Immigrants I have known embrace smaller Govt.

And yet, you bring a spouse here from Russia? How dare you water down our great nation Danno? Or is it 'other' immigrants who are bad?

You don't even know the difference between LEGAL and ILLEGAL immigration.

You might want to google it.

I know the difference, don't be a douche...

But we border an extremely poor country and it's pretty easy to get across. Australia is an island. You have to come by boat or plane, much harder and it is not near a poor country with a large population. Illegal immigration is a minor issue there.

Remember, Australia is very close to Asia. Most people do not condone it there. Especially the unions who don't want to see their wages eroded by cheap labor. I remember watching a show (border patrol) last time I was there and saw their ICE equivalent raid a restaurant. By fluke they asked a person a question and the asked to see his id, he was not a resident. So he was taken, then processed, and sent back home. He will have to apply for a visa to enter legally. It was upsetting because he left his family but the rules are the rules.

When you land in Australia every single bag is x-rayed again, coming in, to check for illegal substances and parasites. That is how stick they are. Rabies, for example, is not present there; as aren't a range of other diseases since they have kept up their quarantine.

Immigration and quarantines are slightly different issues. Australia, as was mentioned, is an island. Hawaii also has no rabies, or snakes, or fleas, if I am not mistaken. All of that is possible when you are surrounded by water.
