I would prefer no illegal immigration.
I would also prefer lower level, much more selective legal immigration.
With all the automation and technological development, no Western country needs low skill, culturally distant, hard to/unwilling to assimilate immigrants. There is zero benefit to Europe or America from the millions of third worlders pouring in. No Western country benefits from Muslim immigration one little bit. It is nothing but trouble.
It is complete madness.
What you prefer will not happen, Soren, you live in a fantasy world that never existed and will never exist. Tsk, tsk, tsk...
The Brits wanted no immigration too once, remember?
Oh, they said, these Poles and Romanians are most sub-human. Despibable stuff, innit.
So they got out of the EU, and that's that.
Now they're all complaining about the economic slowdown, you can't get a good worker these days for love nor money, inflation's through the roof, etc, etc, etc.
The Poms like to complain too, you see.
So anyway, now they have to bring in more Pakis to make up for the Poles, and you have to vouch for them and sign a million forms, its awful. Previously, Europeans could come and go according to the seasons. Live in Poland, work in England for the harvest or the high tourist season. The best of both worlds, it was too good to be true.
Brexit was the biggest economic sabotage England's ever had. Needless to say, the old boy loved it.
The US has a similar source of seasonal labour south of the border. The trick there is to make it legit. Sending illegal trucks of fruit pickers up to California is human trafficking. There needs to be a better way of giving people the jobs they want and employers the staff they so badly need.
