What do you estimate roughly speaking completely break open borders and allowing anyone to immigrate into the US?

I think it is a wonderful idea, no more borders. The terrorists will see the US is a peaceful country and we should enjoy no problems from anyone not wearing a turban.
Answers:   
We already allow more legal immigrants into the U.S. than any other country in the world.

If what you are suggesting be true, why wouldn't they ALREADY think we are peaceful?

As another poster said, terrorists' hatred of the U.S. have nothing to do with our very lax and big immigration policies
In this democracy, you can ask the country to vote on the issue, and if they say yes, then it will be done.

I would bet a bundle it would not be done however, and I did not fight for this country to hold open border become a way of life. I would suspect at hand would be a good deal of trouble and it would never happen.
Bad. The us needs to adjust its border policy and a little relaxing wouldnt be a doomed to failure idea, but it needs to be regulated. the biggest problem is not people coming over here, its not one allowed to get a legit job and therefor not paying taxes. if they all have a work visa and were working to learn the langage then it would be much better

the problem is that politics and not logic are running our border policy and politics are trying to reverse a problem that have been going on for over 50 years. you cant turn off the water after the underground room is flooded and expect an easy fix.

They need to spend the money documenting these people and getting them some nice of work visa so that they can pay their taxes on the system they are overburdening.

side note: every mexican i know personally works their *** bad and they are good people. the new law only hurt the ones who want to work for a living... it chases them out of the country, we still have the criminals here, and they dont care if a alien law says that business will lose their license if they hire these ones cause they arent out to work anyways.
it chases out right immigrants and doesnt do a thing to the bad ones.
No. explicitly not true. It will leave open the gate for terrorists, whether they are from pakastan to the mexican string.We shouldnt confuse the countries into beleiveing that our country is weak on terrorism,also dont you remember 9-11?... It would be foolish to even think of such a notion regardless if they wear a turban or not. America still have problems, you should think about how to solve them instead of createing more problems from people out of the country. Hello.

I live in Europe and I must say that as a first thought idea seem really good. But in action, USA will achieve destroyed withing seconds most probably if that would be allowed.

You see, that way everyone would come into the country. Thus, a lot of criminal actions will take place too like bombing from terrorists because, as we adjectives know, most probably Target no #1 of almost all terrorists is USA. You know though, a lot of that is for Bush's guiltiness.

You see, terrorists don't go bombing around for no reason -in most cases at least- and, in this valise -terrorism in the USA-, is most probably caused due to the wars that Bush started and the spoil he made to all those innocent people. That's why terrorists go terrorists; to run revenge of what Bush does. Their anger is to be explained, though I still don't support their idea for bombing, but I do admit my hate for Bush.

So, what I believe should be done, is that America would bring back more people working on the greencard/visas departments so people that applied for greencards won't have to lurk for years to get accepted as more people would be helping out too.

Thank you.

Peace.

its just a desperate idea....we have a hard plenty time keeping terrorist out already i think that is horrible!!!!!!!!! i dislike that with a burning devotion.
why not?
you be given the blessing to live in this country. why not give other well deserving relations the same opportunity?
instead, all the white trash that have already answered the probably don't agree next to me.
the reason there are terrorists hating Americans is because of not conversant pieces of **** that live in this country.
think about the populace that live in hell holes, and did nothing to deserve it. .....
ah, forget it. you all are not learned. no hope...
How ridiculous, we would own every criminal from every country possible moving here. Close all borders and deport ALL illegals back where they belong!!!!!
Report and Deport!! I come up with your butt needs to go back to bed an finish dreaming.
you guess we have problems now, open the the border an you'll see freedom ,over adjectives your sh** . 8(
It is not a discouraging Idea,but it is impossible to come true due to the consequeces which will follow that.


May be people won't to immigrate into the usa any more because life will not be as easy as it is in a minute.

Crimes will grew more and more than it is now.

So, let's forget a bout the Idea.Sorry to disappoint you:(
i do not think so. actually, most of the people also dream to immigrate but do they really surmise they can & do? i mean the 'can' and 'do' are..

1.) Can they easily suit into a new environment?
2.) Do they own sufficient financial to adapt into the new environment? Yes, US might be a very upfront company but can they amend into the new culture?
3.) How about the country policy? Are they really well specified about it?

i think if the person really dreams to immigrate, it is better to try to hold a 2-3 months trip at that particular place before really think into it.

the most far-reaching is also the money issue. Without $$, it is hard to live in a new environment...
Unfortunately, I presume that's what we got already with the president we have. I haven't see much in the way of a southern border. Its pathetic. It would be my hope that we someday would enjoy a president who wanted secure borders, enforced deportation, and not pander to the multitude of illegals. From the field of what we own already and what's evidently on the way, I don't think we legals have a snowballs randomness. I feel betrayed! Never a good idea. As beside any "club" there are dues. Here you gotta pay taxes. Opening the borders would mean they can come and progress as they please which means they don't have to pay taxes on their wages, comehere, work, take that money to Mexico, Cuba, Middle East, ect to spend. The way anything works is you make money and spend it which makes everything work similar to a machine. No taxes=downfall to the USA! There are many reasons but within is one!
I rather suspect our immigration policies weigh little contained by the reasons the terrorists have for hating us. It will generate The US naked and desolate and it will eventually burn down to the ground!! Hell it already started!
I tell you what.......You go over/in their country and show them WHAT a wonderful, peaceful creature you are and tell them that all the people contained by the US is just like you and maybe they will not KILL YOU, because you are such a wonderful, passive person.... (ARE YOU FREAKING NUTS) Thats what we have now and the politicans are not going to tweaking it because they are afraid of loosing latino votes. Remember...they are for themselves and thier re-election. They could care less about you. How roughly doing yourself a favor in November and vote for Ron Paul.
It is an insane idea; what is frightening is that so masses left wingers in our country think this is a great model. There are many radical Catholic clergy who love this idea. Aren't they supposed to stay out of politics?

If this be to happen, the USA would be swamped with tens of millions of third world aliens every year. They would bring more crime, lower wages, greater social benefit spending, more bacteria-resistant disease, cultural upheaval, and chaos.

ON the positive side for the Dems, they would never again lose an see with all those millions of left wing aliens voting for their jamboree. Also, every wealthy family would be able to afford dozens of servants.
Did you know this question is feature on the homepage under the popular tab?

LOL!

And I think completely open borders are unpromising, but I think immigration reform is highly overdue.
You've proposed a mighty fine hypothesis. But I'd let to take it further. We should give respectively immigrant complete citizenship. Why? Because we are a caring and fair nation. Illegal immigrants and immigrant alike deserve everything we've worked for. Next, since many will be fleeing from their poverty and uneducated previous lives, we shall want to create twice as many.. noo ten times as lots welfare offices to help those immigrants surrounded by need.

Next we should have to create jobs for adjectives of them, and if we don't have enough jobs next we fire actual citizens because you know what... illegal immigrants are just significant like that and we need to be concerned about their wages. And for those who can't work but are too peer of the realm to accept government assistance (And we all know that immigrant are very noble would probably rather work than win foodstamps) then we give them job training and college and adjectives those wonderful things to show them how great AMERICA is.

Oh yes, and if you are a notorious criminal, whether you're a common thief or a murderer, you will own the luxury of staying at our 5 star prisons to watch TV, lift weights and basketball.. and so much more. But that's only if you procure caught.

Lastly but not least, we should disband the U.S military services because they aren't stopping our country from being invaded everyday anyways, they are out liberating other countries for billions and billions and billions of our DOLLARS.

All ye grieved immigrants around the world HERE ye, and here ye apt... America wants to take care your problems.
good idea ppl on the border just win harrased and non immagrants commit like 90% of the crimes anyways immigrants illegal or not individual commite about 10% I believe it is a wonderful idea. Perhaps we could offer them free bus or train rides once they enter the US to anywhere they might close to to go, like New York city or Pigs Knuckle Arkansas
lOl, I'm not even an American citizen and i don't live in the US, but it would suck really bad. America would be destroyed.

I similar to America the way it was in the 80's and 90's..... approaching in 'home alone' movie. The neighbors looked great in that movie.
I think the Democrats are smoking some really good ganja. I regard as that's the quickest way to kill this country.
Additionally everyone who comes to this country should be given $200!
And that would be different from the present situation how? First answer is perfect.
What a wonderful Idea! Go ahead and give them money to start a business too..
This will show the world that the US is serious roughly speaking World Peace well it sounds okay but not everybody is goin to want to be peaceful
