You hear it over here too - that if only we could control, reduce or reverse our immigration then everything would be much better!
People forget that we are basically mongrel nations and that its a good thing! Haven't we learnt yet where the idea of some sort of mythical racial 'purity' leads?
Absolutely. Even our native populations migrated here from some other place at an earlier time. We're all just visitors, and the notion that this or that group "belongs" where others do not is just a conveniently self-serving arbitrary determination. America especially is a country of (relatively) recent immigrants. Thankfully for the anti-immigration crowd the policies they want to implement were not in place when their ancestors came, huddled, to our shores.

The Native Americans have a saying: "Take Your European 'Huddle-Masses' Asses and GO HOME!"
We tend to forget that. ;-)
