Yes. Hell yes.

I'm even for declaring an amnesty for all illegal immigrants in this country.

Contrary to popular belief, immigrants (on the whole) give more in taxation then they take in welfare, they contribute more per-person to the UK economy than it's "native" citizens, and it's providing most of the immigrants with a much better standard of living than they're currently receiving.

It's also basic economic theory that you need more people to have sustainable economic growth.

That's laughable. In the US it may be so, but not in most of Europe. 

And I guess u as a typical liberal aren't aware of any other costs associated with immigration other than 'wellfare' expenses.

I wasn't referring to "most of Europe" I was referring to the UK, you know, like the rest of my post.

Immigration has its downsides, sure, but those are far surpassed by the benefits it brings not only to the country, but also to the individuals who are immigrating. Of course, you, as a typical conservative, aren't aware of, or just plain ignore this.

You just summarised immigration in a nutshell.
