So, you probably know about the illegal immigrant controversy in Europe.
An excessive number of illegal immigrants are coming from the Middle East to Europe for what seems to be 'a better life'.
I know there's a couple of topics up about illegal immigration but I want to know who's side you're on.
According to this site, something I find interesting is that even though numbers are rising dramatically, more people think they will strengthen the USA, apparently, but the number that say they won't have stayed pretty much the same.
BUT in the UK, things are different. The majority of people want something done. Over half of people said said tension between immigrants and people born in Britain caused the most division nationally, were worried about the level of immigration into the UK. "70% thought that immigration rules governing migration from Europe weren’t strict enough, while 73% thought immigration rules from outside the EU weren’t tough enough." In July 2014 54% of respondents said that immigration and asylum was the ‘most important issue facing the country at this time.’ This has probably risen even further now.
But the fact still remains that just over a third of people think immigrants are a positive thing. What do you guys think? Specifically targeting Western Europe, but Americans can give their views as well.
By the way, my view is that immigrants are a problem and that they are now becoming a threat, such as endangering lorry drivers' safety.
Thank you!
