You mean just like your great, great, great grandpa and grandma? Just like everyone's forefathers? I'm here because some dude from germany said "Man fuck Germany, there's better opportunity in America."
there's nothing wrong at all in moving in to a country for better opportunities, whether it's business related or to escape oppressive government or just to have a better life. just go through the proper channels to achieve it.
you sound like a bigot imo, but a government, a country, is a tool to be used and exploited by its people for their own betterment. And hopefully that government can offer its citizens that ability to grow in a stable, effective orginization. as this evolves, you generate a huge economy where people believe they have no limit as to what success can be achieved, and the government that supports such a mentality becomes strong and dynamic to the point that peoples of other governments will want to be a part of it and that should be welcomed. and if they enter this government with a goal of becoming a citizen, they will absorb the core of the government and find a path to their success. If they dont, and believe that they should hide, and live in it illegally, then they are still outside its influence even though they live within it and will never able to benefit from it.
Walls should be removed, all people (sans muslims :D) should be invited to become a citizen and use this government like a tool to better themselves and anyone who hides here who is not a citizen and tries to find a pocket of their people who are also in hiding who refuse to be a part of the country should be forced to become one or forced to leave. it's really as simple as that.
