But the right wing have always blamed the poor, the voiceless and the unrepresented, rather than tackle the problems in capitalism that keep them nice and comfortable, at our expense. What part of ignore business, economics etc did you not understand jamie? My concerns are geographical.

Sadly, their problem will become ours if we don't wake up. We have controlled out birth rate since the 60's which has worked against us in many ways. The world is catching up but it won't come soon enough to avoid a resource disaster in the next couple of centuries.

We have controlled out birth rate since the 60's which has worked against us in many ways. The world is catching up but it won't come soon enough to avoid a resource disaster in the next couple of centuries. I disagree, in a large part the stimulus for that birth rate is the economic situation of those countries, typically in providing 'cheap resources and consumables' to the first world market (essentially providing cheap, abundant, low skill, low education work force for agriculture and manufacturing). In the most part the industry of the third and second world is about sustaining first world lifestyles. We have the problem, as much as other nations, because we're stimulating such growth, and of course that growth may well increasingly migratory in a global economic market. We need to compromise and to share to a reasonable degree, as well as where necessary ensure that friendly regimes are 'just as friendly to their own population rather than just our interests'. Its the worlds problem, not just some peoples or some nations, this is a failure of the species as a whole to regulate itself within its environment (like we do our cats and dogs).

The best option to cull migration, is to reduce the incentive of economic migration, but setting reasonable trade regulation that is in the interests of the people of each nation, not the minority of each nation. Decent wages, security and a reasonable lifestyle are far more effective than border measures ever will be. "One Nation Under God, has turned into One Nation Under the Influence of One Drug" [Link]

Decent wages, security and a reasonable lifestyle are far more effective than border measures ever will be. I can't see it happening in time if at all. The trouble is that first world nations use far more resources that the third world. To elevate societies might encourage people to stay put but it will make the global resource problem far worse, not to mention pollution. The genie is out of the bottle and baring a global epidemic or WW3, we can't stop it. The world population will grow enormously and it is my belief that the best option is to protect ourselves by closing out borders to all but a trickle.
