Shouldn't the whole world be open and accessible to everyone?

No one is born "illegal". Surely it is the right of man to travel the world and all that's in it. Borders, passports and immigration laws are all man-made. How dare a government class a person as illegal. It's a strategy by rich countries to keep the poor down and confined.

Shane, you are correct in what you say and i agree with you in principle but, if you had a big garden and got it just the way you like it, then the whole street where you live decided it was also a nice place and decided to move into it you would be pretty upset wouldn't you? Its to late in human history to goto a utopian way of wondering the planet, we did once as hunter gatherers but these days immigration controls are needed if we are to maintain our wealth and cultural differences, I believe that multiculturalism actually destroys the very think it celebrates, our differences, as cultures clash then eventually absorb each other they may be changed for ever. I believe western goverments are commiting the greatest damage to cultural diversity by keeping the third world in debt but at the same time allowing immigration for cheap labour. I dont know about you but I would hate to goto India and see a McDonalds and Starbucks, in a few hundred years i think most capital cities will look the same.

thx for making me your top answer.

You can get into most countries as a tourist, they just need controls to make sure you intend to go home or have the means to support yourself. It would be cool if there were no borders, but i understand why they are there.

cheers Report It

I think you are way off base. Citizens of any country have their rights. They do not have to tolerate being set upon by anyone. We have laws to create order out of chaos.

Illegals come in all forms: drug dealers, terrorists, criminals, alcoholics, the mentally ill, people looking for hand outs.

Actually, in order to maintain the "society" which people live in, certain rules must be established. You are right in that no one is born "illegal" because "illegal" is a concept created by us. A term we use to use when an action is not wanted by the majority of the population in the civilization which classified the action as illegal.

Nonsense Shane.
Your proposal would be interesting if it carried the condition that everyone be solely responsible for themselves and respect the rights of others.
Is it your strategy to keep others down by not allowing everyone free reign to wander in and out of your house as they please?

could it be that sometimes some poor nations are poor because of their traditions and behaviour?

If so others are simply protecting themselves from disruptive behaviour.

You are entitled to what you have earned, not what I have earned.

People are illegal when they break laws. Don't break a law and you are not illegal. very clear

NO!!!

We work hard within our society to achieve what we have. If the people in other countries want we have then they should rise up and change their own systems of government. Instead they just head here because we are seen as a soft touch. The more that come the more our own society and way of life will be destroyed.

Close the borders completely. We are FULL!!!

It scares me that people like you and your completely screwed up thinking actually have the vote.

Definitely not that's why people have always defended their borders often with their lives
