America brands itself as “the land of opportunity”, but for millions of immigrants living there illegally, the only thing available to them is deportation.

Those people are illegal immigrants, and they have no rights whatsoever. If they are drafted, then SOME of their family members are US citizens, or alternatively they are drafted illegally so that if and when they die they won`t be reported as US losses. There live an estimated 30 million illegal aliens in USA, who come mostly from Latin-American countries.

"Illegal" immigration is not immigration at all, but at very least is criminal tresspass. Example...The folks that live next door to me start comming into my home without me knowing or my permission and just make themselves right at home. They eat my food, find how my medical system works and run very high bills. Those that really are willing to work go to my place of employment and tell my boss he will do my job for less money and no medical benefits. He will also bring his 12 cousins for any other stuff that needs done. They don't need medical benefits because they refuse to learn the language of thier adopted country so now they qualify for FEDERAL WELFARE. No wonder these thieves don't want to stay home and straighten out thier own government. Everything is free for them, no downside at all, execpt to complain and PROTEST when I and other folks try and get them to do things THE PROPER WAY. If you break into my house I'll shoot you, break into my country and all these bleeding heart morons will drop to thier knee to give you oral sex. IMMIGRANTS ask permission and are invited in. INVADERS just break in, take what they want then complain that it's not enough. Lets close our borders, get them back under control, then open the door slowly and carefully.

How would the Russian Federation deal with twenty million illegal aliens crossing their borders and taking up residence there. America has experienced this for many years and political leaders do not have the will to implement policies to ensure that olny legal immigration is allowed. If the world economy worsens, when the China bubble busts, millions of illegal Chinese could just cross the border and take up residence on Russian lands. How would Russia ever protect it's borders from illegal migration, especially in the region just north if China? Looks like the U. S. A. and the Russian Federation may suffer similar immigration issues in the future. Our countries have much in common and should work together to solve both of our countrie's problems.

@jon R.F. does have the problems you mention. There was, and still is a quiet colonization of Russian far-east by Chinese and Koreans. This issue is almost unreported in any Russian media. Another type of immigration is from ex-soviet republics (mostly from the Caucasus), and since most of these immigrants both legal and illegal settle is the cities the issue is much better documented and reported on. The approach to those immigrants is also surprisingly similar: both in the US and R.F. they are categorized as useful cheap labor that takes up jobs that "nobody else wants" for wages that are so low nobody else wouldn`t survive on - this also leads to tax evasion and other undocumented activities, including various crime. The reasoning for this "needed" immigration are void, as for instance Belarus has a rapidly growing economy that surpasses Russia, by only employing their own and having virtually zero immigration.
