But, the majority of immigrants in the UK are of the muslim community, just coming over to the UK to get money and to breed to get more money. (No offence intended)

Racist and racist .. I think you are being prejudiced and a bit cynical. It sounds like the same stuff conservative people and political parties in Norway say (the most conservative party claims immigrants have "gang shootings" in the middle of the street in Oslo every day and $#@! and kill everyone O_o). They do not travel there to claim the benefits. Most of them move to escape the troubles in their homeland, and work and pay taxes, too.

There are benefits with immigrants. For example, at my school, we have people from 16, I think, different countries and cultures, and arrange a day a year where they teach us a little of their language and tell about their culture and language, and also make us food from their homeland. It is amazing. Only in my class there are people from Russia, Ghana, Pakistan, one half-Turkish and one half-Swedish. Having a girl from Ghana also helped a lot when we had a project about the country.

Immigrants are nice and have a lot to talk about.

I agree. I don't get what people's problems with immigration are. It's not like 500 years is that long ago, and before that there weren't any "Americans" in the (current) USA, and 900 years ago, Britain got converted (well, and 1700 years ago too).

It seems that people are only in favor of invading armies staking their claim to land, as opposed to people following the laws of their nation to come live there with permission.

Same for me in Miami. What's most ridiculous is that the government allows people to immigrate here as political asylum due to the situations on many of the islands. So what happens is that if you set foot on US soil, you can stay because we don't deport people seeking asylum. However, the coast guard will push these people back with fire hoses and try to capture them prior to actually setting foot on US soil, because then they CAN send them back.

It's horrible.

That list is extremely slanted, as many of the things listed consisted of giving aide or training, as opposed to actually fighting or starting a war. Involved in 26 wars? Sure. A good deal of those, by dates, refer to UN/international not just unilateral American actions.
