Perhaps in the USA, and even in the UK, this might be the case. In the rest of Europe, it's often the other way around. The parties and people that are calling for a reduction in immigration are also those who support American and Israeli wars most eagerly. This is the case with for instance the Progress Party in Norway, the Danish People's Party, the Sweeden Democrats and the anti-immigration parties in the Netherlands.

They all support the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. They cheer on Israeli attacks on the Palestinians. The reason might be that most people in the countries they want to invade and occupy happen to be Muslims. And many immigrants are Muslims too. So this connection probably explains some of the difference to the USA, where most immigrants are not Muslims but Mexicans.

Very happy to read that there many of my fellow citizens who understand the nefarious role played by those who have managed to conflate Israel's interests with those of the U.S. Sadly, however, the average citizen can't even identify the countries of the middle east, let alone make a judgement on what we are doing there. These folks are afraid to the use the word "jew" for fear of being accused of being anti-semitic (a crime now worse, it seems, than baby-killing). Under those circumstances, even an ptimist is challenged to see any improvements on the horizon.

Why does America need any more immigration? Why? What for? How many people do you want America to have? 400 million? 500 million? 600 million? At what point will there be enough people to satisfy the powers that be? I see no obvious economic or political or social advantage to having any more immigration.

so your saying that among the condition given to the American immigrants by Mexico was convert to Catholicism accept Mexican citizenship and then wage a war and smash their society down to the capital?
was the Louisiana purchase not theft?
or was the purging of Chinese workers form the land paid to them for construction the rail road.
i have no problem with any part of any country demanding Independence and going there separate way. but it seems to me when a massive war is fought over a territory that end up in different hand at the end of said conflict that it was not given up willingly.

p.s. a link to your work would be nice

Over the past seven, eight years, Lou Dobbs has spoken out many times against the wars, especially Iraq. This is not a new stance for him. I wish he had stayed on track instead of derailing onto the immigration issue.

To paulBass: You’re grossly mistaken about the “theft” of land from Mexico. I’m a western historian with native American DNA (Comanche). For 200 years, Mexico utterly failed to establish control over Texas, New Mexico and Arizona because of the Comanche, Apache and Kiowa tribes, as well as the Comancheros. Anglo settlers were invited in to provide a buffer against the marauding tribes. My recent work, “We Gave You Texas” covers the Comanche conquest of not just Texas but also the northern third of Mexico. Do a little fact checking before spouting off about territorial “theft”.
