What is wrong with immigration? What do you have against people looking to move to new countries. When someone moves, they pay taxes, they work, they contribute to society.

It's not easy to immigrate, and often smarter, better educated people are the ones who get to immigrate. It's a benefit for the country that gets a lot of immigrants (i.e. The US benefits from this a lot), and a detriment to the country that loses them. Often called brain drain.

Employers can choose who to hire, a smart employer won't care if the candidate is born in the same country as you, it has absolutely no bearing on their quality as a human, or the work they complete.

If you live in North America, aside from the aboriginals, everyone is descended from, or directly an immigrant. What makes you so much better than someone else looking to move?

Again, a tech news aggregator is not a place for ignorant opinions on, frankly, humans.

You also haven't answered why you feel this way.

My feelings are irrelevant - they make my points neither more nor less valid.

Sure it does.

And your points are not valid, your point is simply that you don't want immigration. You aren't replying to facts about immigrants and immigration besides that it happens, and that people want it. We've all been immigrants at some point, so I don't see where you could possible come from in feeling so strongly about disallowing people from improving your country.

Aren't you are attacking him for something he didn't say here?

[mercurysmessage]

Why are you defending this person so much here?

> All that happened is we were told we need immigration instead

What do you infer from this? It's pretty obvious.

This isn't the first time I've ran into this person.

[reitanqild]

Why are you defending this person so much here?

Because it seems you don’t even care to read before you attack.

As I mentioned before the facts are correct at least where I live.

The conclusions you can draw aren't necessarily correct.

But I think it would be correct to say that reducing the number of "native" westerners wouldn't help if they were replaced by an equal amount of other people with the same level of consumption.

I have read this persons comments.

The facts are also that it is hard to migrate, and that immigrants normally have to be highly educated.

By "native" you don't mean aboriginal, do you? At the end of the day we are all just people, and it really shouldn't matter to any of us where they were born as long as they are moral and respect laws.
