[edit] Changes to the ethnics sectionI removed the uncited claim that the labour market in developed nations need unskilled immigration. In many countries, like the US and New Zealand this isn't true. They need more skilled immigration. Also in countries like Germany they usually end up unemployed, because they are not needed in the labor market. I also think the picture is bigger than the labor market. We need to think about the economy and the country, which should have been addressed after that claim. Because even though they may be needed in the labor market, they may not benefit to the economy or the country. Camlon1 (talk) 21:29, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
...Was the biggest immigration in known history. Swiiman (talk) 20:29, 8 December 2009 (UTC) wat up —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.187.94.115 (talk) 09:44, 9 September 2009 (UTC) what does immigrant mean? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.100.196.105 (talk) 01:21, 10 October 2009 (UTC) Editorial comments in the article itself: At the end of this (quoted from the article) paragraph are editorial comments that - regardless of the quality of the article - do not belong in the article so I am removing them. They can be read here and properly inserted by the author on the talk page: The politics of immigration have become increasingly associated with other issues, such as national security, terrorism, and in western Europe especially, with the presence of Islam as a new major religion. Those with security concerns cite the 2005 civil unrest in France that point to the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy as an example of the value conflicts arising from immigration of Muslims in Western Europe while failing to recognize the fact that most participants of the 2005 civil unrest were citizens of France, not immigrants themselves, and the essence of their protest was denial of equal rights, and blatant racism, on the part of the state. Because of all these associations, immigration has become an emotional political issue in many European nations. EDITORIAL COMMENTS START HERE ==> This paragraph is rife of self-contradictions. Is French state racist against non-immigrant French citizens? What rights should this stratus of society fight for? I am an eye witness of the events, non European. 100% of the participants were under-age Arab people. Underage means less than 18 but close to 18. The purpose is political: whatever they do, they can't be prosecuted. Netrapt (talk) 14:55, 30 October 2009 (UTC) [edit] Immigrants vs ColonistsThe opening definition of 'immigrants' is too vague and not historically or legally accurate. For example, as Chilton Williamson pointed out in The Immigration Mystique, the 80,000 mostly English and Scots-Irish settlers of colonial America, the ancestors of America’s historic Anglo-Saxon majority, had not transplanted themselves from one nation to another (which is what defines immigration with respect to people), but from Britain and its territories to British colonies. They were not immigrants, but colonists. The immigrants of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries came to an American nation that had already been formed by those colonists and their descendants. Ignorance of this distinction has lead to the often repeated assertion that the USA is a 'nation of immigrants', when in fact roughly half the population is descended from founding colonists, not immigrants. Wikipediaphile (talk) 21:43, 17 January 2010 (UTC) [edit] What About Really Old ImmigrationThis article doesn't have any information about immigration except in the past few hundred years. To be comprehensive shouldn't it have some information about immigration going back as far as it did. I'd like to know about immigration in ancient times or the middle ages. Article should be labeled a stub.35.11.207.145 (talk) 08:49, 28 February 2010 (UTC) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
