Wow how fast a thread goes off topic. Anyway, since we're on a new topic, here's my .02.
I'll only give my opinion about the U.S. because i live here. As for immigration, is it needed? No, not in this current day do we "need" immigration. There are several reasons that it's not needed today:
1. We have enough people here to feed and care for.
2. Immigrants today are much different than the ones who, say, came here 100 yrs ago. The people today don't adopt our language or culture like they did years ago. Years ago, immigrants wanted to be "American", but today, they want to be Mexican, Puerto Rican, El Salvadorian, etc, etc in America. They don't want to learn the language and adopt our way of life.
3. Immigrants today are here to make better lives for themselve but not here in the U.S. They send the money they make here back to their "Motherland" so they can live like kings.
4. And another thing.....if America is the worlds enemy and everyone hates us, why oh why do they come here by the boat loads???
I have no problem with people who come here LEGALLY, learn the ENGLISH language, ADOPT our way of life, WORK for a living, DON'T commit crimes, and who WANT to be AMERICANS. I don't think thats asking much......do you?
The world is my urinal
