How many illegal immigrants come to Australia a year?

in 2008, 176 illegal immigrants were caught coming to Australia


When did illegal immigration become a problem in the us?

From the start. It was during our War of Independence in 1776 that the United Kingdom started importing foreign mercenaries called Hessians. From our point of view, they were not legal immigrants. From then on, the primarily English settlers complained about the Dutch and German immigrants, then later the Swedish. Hard to believe now, but those were regarded as inferior races. Later, all the North Europeans who were now here started complaining about the southern Europeans. Later, all the Europeans here complained about the Asians and Hispanics. Some Asians and Hispanics have been here so long that they now complain about others coming over, too. If I'm not mistaken, Arabs are the new ones to look down on. But give it time. By 2050, the Arabs will be fine, and we can all complain about the Aboriginal Australians coming over. I suppose a mention should be given to the Native Americans. From their perspective, the problem with illegal immigration started in 1492.

Why have a large number of Cubans come to the US?

Most of the Cubans that immigrated to the US did so because they did not wish to live under the communist rule of Fidel Castro. Cuba was a very nice place to live, the weather, the beaches, the people, the music, the food, the countryside all helped make Cuba the most popular vacation spot in the Caribbean, also a favorite playground to the rich and famous. The massive numbers of immigrants from Cuba didn't start until the mid 1960s, after Cubans realized that Castro was a whole lot worse than Batista. Before that Cubans came to the US to vacation, study, and some to live, because they liked it here.

Should immigrants have to learn to speak English before entering the US?

No. United States does not have an official legal language.But there is a basic spoken English and literacy test for people becoming citizens though.If immigrants come to the United States with the intent of doing business and/or becoming citizens, they usually do take the time and make the effort to learn the English language. However, immigrants who enter and/or stay in the United States illegally and take advantage of our lack of law enforcement usually do not bother to learn the language.
