Maybe I'm trolling or maybe I have a point? Whichever you think, please keep it nice, thanks

I have no problem with anyone coming into this country without committing a crime in that process. If you enter the UK illegally you will be kicked out. Name any Westernized country in the world where you can walk in and stay in the numbers that the US has experienced? We remain generous in that fact, to a fault. Time to shut the door and address the issue.

off the top of my head

Germany- Turks (footies head)
France - North Africans
Great Britain - Indians / Carribean Islanders / Irish

"We" don't sound generous. We sound like we're wanting to bitch about something so we impose our attitude on a scapegoat.
