Quote from TM_Direct:
Obviously you weren't thinking.....this country has operated with open borders for how long? Does it need some tinkering? absolutely, things have changed.....should we suddenly start polarizing and acting like the sky is falling ? no. Is it just immigration or is really the fact that most of them are mexicans? i mean, would you have a problem with 1 million Brits per year coming to the US?
America thrived on immigration when immigrates were forced to succeed or STARVE by their own hand.
The "golden-age of immigration" you affectionately refer too, worked so well because it wasn't backed by a giant Entitlement System that doled out welfare, healthcare and education to any MacDonald or Gringo that crossed the border!!!
Today, nearly all illegals get free healthcare, welfare, education and commercial loans (that often go sour).
Who do you think PAYS for all that???
John Q Public.
The Average American is subsidizing the very illegals that are driving down their wages and stealing their livelihood.
Talk about getting Fucked.
All so Corporate America can have a neo-slave class to keep churning Benjamins.
Thats just the economics, Son.
And to answer your question - no, I wouldn't care if a million Brits came over.
BECAUSE WE WOULD'NT HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR EDUCATION, HEALTHCARE OR WELFARE OUT OF OUR OWN POCKETS.
