Maybe we would all be better off if they stayed home and fixed their own countries instead of bringing their failed cultures and lifestyles into others.

Like those immigrants from the mayflower brought their failed culture and lifestyle into the lands of native Americans?

I like it! But, they can't fix it. They would rather run away. Then they will bring the same proble from where they came, because it is not the system it is how they percieve the system.

If you are referring to Mexican immigrants you are wrong, the majority move back after saving money for 10-15 years, while paying little to no taxes, and often using government funded welfare programs in the process.

My wife was a refugee from Cambodia in the 70's. She survived for 6th months in the jungle on her own at age 6. She and her family survived years in the Pol Pot death camps till they escaped into first Vietnam, then to Thailand. To say she ran away and did not fight implies she and her family and the rest were cowards. Far from it. Sometimes situations are beyond individual control.
What problems did her family bring? They were on welfare for EXACTLY 8 months then got on their feet and never looked back. Worked hard and bought a home. Essentially the American Dream. My wife became one of the first in her family to graduate from a University, Paid taxes, contributed to the community etc etc etc.
This country was built on immigration. Now words like immigrant and refugee have become pejoratives .

Europe has a real and huge immigration problem at the moment. The biggest issue not being the economics of it but the political/religious issues of it.
