I have to wait almost a year for my wife and child to join me here in the US because there are MILLIONS of illegal. aliens applying for citizenship. If they would have all done things through the proper chanels I would not have a broken family traumatizing my kid while she waits for almost a year in another country for our situation to be considered and our application to be processed. Apparently a citizen is second class to others who are not part of our national family. My family and I have to wait because others couldn't ....

illegal immigration is as wrong and detrimental to the very nation illegal immigrants wish to be a part of.
do things the right way or be the object of social stress.

Excellent point! We have people coming here through the proper channels and with great respect for our country and laws, while illegals pick and choose which ones to follow. It is a slap in the face! Illegals should never be rewarded with amnesty.

You are a very sweet, thoughtful and compassionate young lady, but...with open borders, you have people coming across without health or background checks. We have had murderers, gang members, pedophiles thieves etc. just walts on over illegally. We have had thousands of citizens who have lost their lives due to an illegal, many who have had previous arrests and deportations.

Borders haven't worked because there is always someone or some group of someone's who wants what is across the border.
Let's micro-size it.
Your border is your home.
Can I walk in across your border, eat your food, watch your tv, sleep in your bed, use your soap and shampoo as I use your shower?

A broader question to those who are proponents of illegal immigration;
Should any country have borders?
Borders haven't worked in the thousands of years we've had them. Why not come up with a better idea?
Wow...thank you for saying that.
I agree that we need a better idea. Something different. But people don't like change so it's not well received. I get that, even with my head 'in the clouds'.
Change might mean that our standard of living would lower. To many of this world's poorest people, we poor people in North America are rich beyond belief. The inequity is too unjust.
What is wrong with me saying that everyone deserves to have an equal share...or that I understand why illegal immigrants risk death to get to a place that offers hope?
I'm not sure that Zuckerberg is concerned with much beyond his own expansion...but it would be nice.

Isn't natural? Has the same needs?
Ok so a world having no imaginary boarders isn't natural?... Isn't that what the world was like before we gave it boarders?
Also, every human being on this planet has the same needs buddy, water, food and air.
Also in the world today everyone is dependent on the government for food and shelter, whether you work or not, you can bang on about us paying taxes for "immigrants" as you call them but I'd just like to point out that you would still be paying taxes if they weren't there.
Jacy is bang on when she says about one world, one race, the human race.
Go back say... 3,000 years if a guy happened to turn up on the shore of a different land to his original place of being and he seen another human what do you think that human would make of him? would he see an "immigrant" or would he see a fellow human. You guys saying that we should have boarders honestly need to think outside the box...

Get rid of all the borders...they are imaginary lines used to keep people separated.
If we are here, we DESERVE the necessities of life. All of us.
Just my opinion.

The problem lies in there not being enough talent in US for certain tech fields. In order for an international tech company to be competitive, they need the best around the world, not the best from their country.
US has 300 million people, while the rest of the world has 6.7 billion. It is very likely the top from the other 6.7 billion are more talented than the top from the 300 million.

Also please explain "The concepts of freedom and sovereignty require borders to exist" how you figure that out... Freedom and borders do not mix my friend, here a little example.
Me: Excuse me Mr border patrol man I'm just going to pass...
Mr Border man: Nope
wheres the freedom in that mate?
