Mostly they don't want to come here. They'd much rather be able to make a living and support their families in the countries of their origin. As far as those that do come here are concerned, they would also rather not have to live on run-down, inner city housing estates full of junkies and thieves.

...possibly a comparison:  having a good friend with a gallery in a resort town in Colorado, many natives detest the tourists who are often rude and disrupt the type of life they would like to live, but they need the money.  Another comparison:  Most of the ancient world (as recorded in the Bible) resented the Romans, but the Romans provided benefits, especially law and order.  I see totally contradictory reactions to Americans all over the world.

honestly, most people who live there probably live there because they have lived there for their entire lives and dont know anything different.  some people who live there have jobs based on the taiga environment, and some have adapted special skill for living in such an area.  and in all honesty, in today's modern world, the lifestyle of many in the Taiga region has become one of poverty, and it is hard to leave an area, however unpleasant, without money or huge sacrafice.  i am sure there are lots of reasons, but like many conditions, people who live in an impleasant area tend not to leave because they do not have the resources or do not know better.

no. about 90% of the crusaders players have been born and raised in the chch area. its the systems they have in place down there also the attitude is way better towards dicipine and work ethic.

I agree. People should be able to live where ever they want. Right now it is only the very rich that have this privilege. \n\nPeople will argue that we need to preserve cultures, traditions and languages, and I have some sympathy with that. However, throughout human history people have always moved around - look at colonialism and imperialism! Human migration is more of a constant than the present system of countries/states/nation-states drawing lines on maps.\n\nPerhaps peoples' fears of the notion of doing away with borders stem from nationalistic/racist ideas that we have all absorbed?

No.  Not in America.  This country was founded on the principle that a citizen's life is his or her own property.  My life was not destined to be spent making a feudal lord whose only claim is that he was born into the right family richer, nor shall it be sacrificed for a cause not of my choosing.  Betraying this ideal would be decidedly un-American.

Yes and no.\n\nWe "care" far too much for some of the wrong places and far too little for the right ones.

The west region of...?\n\nThe answer to this varies tremendously, depending on whether you mean the West region of the world (Western Hemisphere), the West region of the United States, the West region of Texas, or the West region of Australia.\n\nMore detail please?

Because over time people adapted to life in different areas of the world.

I'll never understand why someone who risks his/her life to leave a country while leaving everything (sometimes including family) behind would actually have some allegiance left to that country, where they had it so bad.\n\nThat is beyond belief.
