For way to long, with our capitalist ways, we've raped the rest of the world. At some point the rest of the world was going to become sufficiently affluent enough themselves to have the ability to challenge for the wealth.
We can't force the doors locked and keep these now educated, wealthy enough competitors back.
Also, if our welfare system is that bloated that immigrants will take work for less money than we will, then we need to lower our sights a bit.
This is a capitalist system, and capitalists have to keep prospering. At some point everything must even out I think. We have the rise of China and then India to contend with and that impact upon the global economy.
So what do we do, just let them all in? Many of the millions coming over are from poor backgrounds. Where will they work? Jobs are running extremely low, and if they do get into jobs, that's less for the rest of us. By continuing to do what we are doing, I can promise you one thing, things won't get any better, just a lot worse.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
