Islam in Europe: perception and reality

Problem is with illegal immigration, they skip all that, don't pay anything to get in, and instead just come in undercut citizens for cheap labor and create disorder in economies. Yes they are human beings who really just desire a better life, but there needs to be some order to the situation.

Wrong as most of the time. Just one of many articles about what illegals contribute to the economy. A quick google reveals many more on it. It just so happens, I just recently browsed for information on the often repeated bullshit of illegals contributing nothing.

 Altogether, according to the state and local tax data analysis—published by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP)—undocumented immigrants contribute about $11.6 billion to the economy annually, including nearly $7 billion in sales and excise taxes and $3.6 billion in property taxes. They are, in economic terms, productive citizens, and pay a higher effective tax rate than the top 1 percent income bracket. That alone is not the primary reason they should be embraced as neighbors and coworkers. But it dissolves the myth that immigrants do nothing but drain public coffers.

Also, we're not talking about illegal immigration but about people seeking asylum after fleeing a war zone and/or fearing for their lives. Different international laws apply in these instances.

Not wrong at all, you are just confused as usual. You didn't disprove anything I said that you quoted. Of course workers provide income to economies, whether legal or illegal. Illegal immigrants tend to work for less though on average. I said they are not paying the fees, or taking the tests to become legal, yet you completely glossed over that point because it was convenient to you because you are lazy and much more experienced in public relations than journalism.

With demographics of citizens in most nations, illegal immigrants supply an added boost to struggling economies. Even the governor in Minnesota said this. Citizens are not having children at a 2.11% rate per couple, so in order to pay for services and retirement, they are bringing in migrants and immigrants. The problem is not legal immigration, it's illegal immigration though. Obama has expanded refugee status to the point that many people are now claiming to be refugees when they are not, just to stay in. On top of that even the people in government working the borders are saying they are told to just let people go.

“Our economy cannot expand based on white, B+, Minnesota-born citizens. We don’t have enough,” Dayton said.

The key is getting people off the welfare, and getting them into the work force. There are plenty of people, they just need to get to work, and get trained.
