Immigration is a condition created and extended from the people and leaders of a nation towards non-citizens of other countries and populations of the world: to invite them to become domicile (in some shape, way or form) in the aforementioned nation.
Immigration can be a valuable foundation for creating a free-base of diverse skills, technological expertise and manpower in a rising economy, especially where there are not enough indigenous citizens in the home-country to meet the immediate demands of industry, business and commerce. Immigrants can therefore be usefully employed in a broad range of diverse areas to meet this exclusive demand. They may even thereafter be offered full citizenship for their valued contribution to the success of the nation in the long run.
As we can all see, any nation’s economy is prone to fluctuations and can therefore both rise and decline. At times it can exhibit immense strength, other times a flaccid weakness much akin to a disease of inertia. All conditions associated with a decline in a countries economy such as unemployment indicate a necessary change in any and all approaches to administration. In such times immigration must be either reduced to an absolute minimum or halted completely, because the influx of non-citizens creates an economic burden on the nation. In such periods the value of any individual immigrant must be carefully assessed to explore their potential contribution to society in terms of the specific skills they possess.
Only when a nation and its administration has fully met the needs of all its indigenous citizens can it begin to contemplate inviting or accepting foreign nationals to its population. Even then the value of such immigrants should be assessed for their potential contribution. A yearly quota (limit) should be agreed upon by the governing administration for the intake of immigrant populations. An economic impact assessment plan should be constructed and frequently charted, and the results carefully monitored to establish the following years quota. Points of entry into the territory must be monitored to inhibit and prevent illegal immigration. All immigrants should carry officially issued I.D. cards to monitor movements, residence and activities until such time as they become full citizens. All immigrants should speak with reasonable fluency the native language of the domicile nation, and should be in possession of an acceptable level of education and of a standard comparable to that already provided to the full-citizens of the host nation.
No immigrant should have access to public funds, or those funds which are specifically designated as being for the benefit of citizens. Neither should immigrants have unlimited access to any medical health services. Such a system should be created that demands payment in full for any medical treatment of the non-citizen. Such a system (I believe) will see a dramatic decrease in the influx of illegal immigration. The sovereign nation should with all its power, constituted in suitable laws provide all measure of care for its citizens first and foremost, before extending its resources in aid to other nations and foreign nationals. All actions contrary to this may be seen as divisive and detrimental.
