*I actually have a deep affection for Japan and Switzerland . Two different countries but both with effective government's and the culture is consistant in their country. People always spout out that 'immigrants make the country'. No, not necessarily; the culture does. Japan does need to start producing babies but like Australia they'll do that fairly easily...I'll help them if necessary. **While Brazil is admirable in energy production (through ethanol), they have a terrible crime problem. Where people have to literally fly on helicopters if they have any wealth or they're apt to get taken for ransoms. I like the booty, but stop the wiolence. ***We need to flow the leaders^^^^Japan and Switzerland. http://www.tmcnet.com/usubmit/2006/05/05/1639219.htm http://cbs2chicago.com/topstories/local_story_149155540.html How Other Countries Grapple With Issue (CBS) CHICAGO It's a problem affecting millions of people in the United States, but this country isn't alone. CBS 2’s Sylvia Gomez reports on how other countries deal with immigration. Their chants were heard across America. Immigrants, many here illegally, came out of the shadows to push for immigration reform. What they did was bare naked a problem nearly 12 million strong. "It's not an American problem, or a British problem or an Australian problem. It is a global problem," said Maria De Los Angeles Torres, a Latin American Studies professor at University of Illinois at Chicago. She notes immigration, both legal and illegal, is an issue faced by the world. "Turks move to Germany, Moroccans move to Spain, Algerians move to France, Mexicans come to the United States,†she said. How, then, do other nations handle immigration? What happens to foreigners who invade the border or overstay their welcomes? According to a report by the Library of Congress, tough laws and enforcement work. Japan and Switzerland jail employers and illegal workers, and their numbers are dropping. Brazil and Egypt are lax and ineffective, and Mexico threatens repeat border crossers with 10-year jail sentences. "You can say the U.S. is fairly generous as compared to other countries," Fred Tsao said. Still, Tsao with the Illinois Coalition For Immigrant and Refugee Rights, says the study is flawed because it doesn't examine legal immigration. Five of the six countries studied make illegal immigration criminal. But Tsao points out none of those countries have ever been a country of migration, which the United States is and was built as such. But Congressman James Sensenbrenner says the study is proof that tough sanctions can prevent illegal immigration.
We got much immigration problems in Sweden two. 7,5% of all swedes are of arabic origins. Half of them works, half are unemployed. I recently went outside and bought a kebab from an arab store
It's a universal problem. Even poor countries like India have problem of illegal immigration from it's poorer neighbours like Bangladesh and Nepal.
