Wasn't Poland always part of Europe (at least since when its borders
were established following WW I)?

Anyway, it is one thing to have immigrants entering the country
_legally_, taking on jobs, etc. It is quite another for immigrants to
enter the country _illegally_.

If anything, the US could probably take in more legal immigrants. The
issue many folks here have, however, is that it may not be in the
national interest to take in uncontrollable numbers of illegal
immigrants. That's not a situation peculiar to the US. Most nations, for
a variety of reasons (admittedly historically not always morally
justifiable), wish to control the number of immigrants entering the
country.
