One reason might be that you would like to participate in the debate? I know taking pot shots from the peanut gallery is fun, but there is more to politics than that.
oh megherd you're right! The muslims saw the declining baby rates in Europe and decided that they needed to show up to help them repopulate! Oh man I can't believe I never looked at it that way!! And all this time I thought they were just looking for a free ride while expanding their barbaric religion. Silly me.

It was not a pot shot. You made an absurd claim that you cant back up. Your issue, not mine.
Get back to your desire to see America lower itself to third world status.
What claim did i make that i can't back up? I backed it up with the following paragraphs.
I love America and I want the economy to prosper, therefore i support the free market for labor.
Your straw man tactics are weak.
I know a couple of black people and 5 or 6 gays.Because your feelings are uninformed. I would bet all my money i have more experience with immigrants than anyone here.
1. I live in Phoenix. My landlord is a Mexican immigrant, for hell's sakes.
2. I was a spanish speaking mormon missionary in Nashville. I spent 70 hours a week for 2 years meeting and getting to know immigrants from every spanish speaking country (except i never met someone from Paraguay).
It's actually not exactly what it means. Just as killing someone is not necessarily murder, being on someone's property uninvited is not necessarily invading and/or violating their property right.
Property rights are claim-rights; claim-rights have correlative duties. That is, if someone has a legitimate claim-right, others have a legitimate duty to refrain. Yet, duties have stringencies; i.e., there exist priority of duties, so some duties do not hold if higher duties compete with them. Private property rights have correlative duties that are quite stringent, yet not absolute; public property rights have correlative duties that have very weak stringency.
Here's an example of where my entering your house uninvited would neither be invading nor violating your private property right: I'm coming home late at night, I walk by your house and see all the lights are off, presumably everyone is asleep. Yet, I also notice a lot of smoke and some flicker of flames through on of the lower floor windows.
Here I not only do not have a duty to not break your door down and enter your house uninvited, but I have a duty to break down your door and enter your house uninvited in order to save you, so long as I think it reasonable to believe that I can succeed in doing so.
Thus, being on someone's private property uninvited cannot be seen as necessarily entailing invading or violating any right; however, if you want to hold on to the term 'invade', well, now it loses any and all moral grip you want it to possess.
You might want to move away from your unreflective 'common sense' near-sighted view of the world and reflect on the concepts you employ to sort out the vast intricacies involved in what, on the surface, appear to be simple moral terms such as property, rights, duties, etc.
Oh, and try to avoid thinking that just because I used an example in which your life was going to be saved that the only justifying reason for entering someone else's property without an invite is to save that person's life. I used the example to clearly demonstrate the disconnect in your thought. I did not use it because it is the only example that shows such a disconnect.
Anyway, it's my birthday, and I'm going to start making some carnitas so they are ready by the time the guests arrive and the game starts (I have at least 2 friends...maybe as many as 3).

You love America yet you encourage the transformation into Mexico north..... Nice
"Immigrant-headed households in the U.S. use welfare at a much higher rate than their native-born counterparts and that trend holds true for both new and long-time immigrant residents, according to a new study."
Report: Immigrant Households Using Welfare At Vastly Higher Rate Than Native-Born Households - Breitbart
The third world invasion of our country is a problem. Let's just bring them all over. Free stuff for everyone.
It won't transform into Mexico north. Go change your pants. You are agraid of nothing. Our numbers, our culture, traditions, etc. are too strong. Your perception seems to be that we are weak. I don't agree with your perception.
