"Meanwhile you have yet to post anything showing there is big immigration into Taiwan like you claimed."

You really don't realize that everything posted on these threads stays on these threads do you? Here's exactly what I said way back in post 35. "And all three of those countries have a very healthy and large immigrant population." The population of Taiwan is 22 million. From this site Taiwan Stats you'll read the following...

"According to 2004 statistics from the R.O.C. Minister of Interior, the population of foreign residents has reached 500 thousand. Among them, alien labors constitute a 69.4 percent of the total alien residents, alien spouses constitute a 19.9%, and the rest of them are mostly visiting Taiwan for business or tourism."

Oookay.
Let me see 500,000 out of a population of 22 million.. extrapolate and assuming an American population of 300 million, that makes it 6 million immigrants.
Not quite the same as illegals into this country is it?
Now mind that includes visitors on business and tourists.
Also mind that practically all of them were actually let in by the Taiwanese government at the points of entry. They decide who enters their country, not the foreigners

Thats a very far cry from what we have here, when Mexicans decide if they want to live here or not, and we don't have any say in it.
Should our boarders be secured? HECK YES!
