hello again. pride aside, what i mean is if immigrants
Report thisare unable to fiscally support all of their needs while
awaiting citizenship, their nation of origin should be
billed for their debts. it would give incentive to
nations to improve and maintain their citizenry, or be
fiscally responsible for their immigrants; while
reducing the burden on host nations, and improving the
overall betterment of humankind- or some such stuff.

What’s sad is you posting a commercial link! What next, fake Rolexes? Viagra?
But, let me ask you. What do you think is sad, the fact that national borders exist? Or that some countries might hold the silly notion that they mean something and should be defended?

Think things thru before you get the vapors! Greece has been an independant nation for a brief period of recent historical time. They were held in bondage by the Turk for centuries and suffered from it. They also are entering a time of high un-employment.
Emigrants who enter a nation illegally, are not much different than the burglar who breaks into your house. While some may prove to be excellent citizens in the long run, wholesale movement into anothers country places great strain upon the social fabric and increases poverty.
The people who gain the most from this are not the emigrant or the ordinary citizen, but the capitalist hungry for cheap labor to expand their profit margin at the expense of labor. Add to that the un-fortunate history of the Greeks and the Turks, why would you expect the Greeks to think it a good idea?
