After a failed experiment of welcoming ALL to Australia, a new administration put on the brakes, enforced their borders/coastlines, turned boatloads of potential illegals around, and flew home, those who actually made it into Australia. Is this a model for the US to follow, or should we continue on our current path?

I messed up on my vote by not reading and thinking about the old Australia's immigration system which was to allow all in since their country was under populated. The state of GA, and a few others, like AUS was set up as prison colonies by the British. The US used to let all in because we need people to help settle the US and then out West. Times change and the risk of open borders have changed.

No reason we couldn't emulate the Aussies on this. of course doing so would require the will to actually do it!

It might sound rude or crude to some but we cannot continue allowing illegal immigrants to stay in our country with free, to them, resources and benefits. When they are caught, depending on where they are from put them back on a bus, train, plane or boat and send them back. Yes it will cost money to do this but it will be cheaper than allowing them to flood a broken immigration system.

I agree, until, interlopers understand that they are not allowed to start their American Experience by a violation of our laws, we will continue to have these problems. Of course, the other side of the coin is that our politicians, and bureaucrats must realize the same concept for such a plan to work.
