Cooper was the inventor of the first hand-held cellphone back in 1973, when he was at Motorola, and I'm blaming him for the worldwide crisis in illegal migration.
I have been trying to figure out why illegals have ballooned over the years? I mean, South American, African and South Asian countries have been sh-tholes forever, so why have so many millions decided to risk everything -- even the lives of their children -- pick up and leave their homelands for what they think are greener pastures?
These people formerly lived for generations in ignorance -- not blissful, but ignorance nonetheless. They had no idea there were other places with much better living conditions.
Until, that is, everyone got hold of a cellphone and figured it out. Geez, what am I doing living in squalor when I can click a button and see that all I have to do is walk, or squeeze onto a rickety boat, and I'll end up in Britain, Canada or the US?!

So, that's what they did and continue to do by the millions. The fact that Canada and other destination countries continue to let them in and house them is an abdication of nationhood that should never be practiced. Countries have borders for a reason and these borders must be respected and guarded.
I have listened to countless "experts" trying to explain the drastic increases in illegal migration. None pulls it off. They all talk about economic, criminal and political issues, but those have been there for centuries. No, it's only in the last few years that cellphones have become ubiquitous which means that any old farmer or sheepherder in Timbuk2 can now click a button and make an escape plan.
That's why.
