I'm not really sure of the situation oversees, but I'll share my views stateside.
Immigration is a net gain for the economy. Immigrants are most likely never going to be in a legal position for them to use government programs, in fact it is far more likely that they will never use them. So no, immigrants don't come to America to rape Unlce Sam on dental benefits.
The only jobs that illegal immigration take suck anyhow, so don't give me that ridiculous line "they took our jobs." Yep, picking chemical laden lettuce in the heart of California without sun protection for .75 cents and hour is a real plum. So is being a nanny to some racist yuppy's kids for 2 bucks an hour and not getting ratted out to the government.
Thirdly, the United States is more than large enough to support hundreds of thousands of immigrants a year. There are entire STATES that don't have as many people in them as major metropolii, so room is available.
Fourthly, the American economy is absolutely dependant on the cheap labor from immigration. The Dow would be in the crapper faster than you can say "Jack Robinson" if migrant working and immigration were to end.
Lastly, America is supposed to be a haven for all poor people and people who want to get ahead. Show me on the Statue of Liberty where is says "as long as arbitrary quotas are not exceeded" and I'll let the quotas stand.
