[quote=FlyerInHi]Deadzone, we need people like you (but not too many) to make sure that I don’t give away the farm. Plus i get to be the nice guy. Thank you.
I would expect immigrants to join the welfare rolls when they’re eligible. But we can afford it. Plus that won’t last long. They are ambitious people who want to own houses, cars, investments. So they will better themselves beyond the welfare threshold. All and all, it will be good for us.[/quote]
We can’t afford it, Brian. That’s what you’re missing. We can barely afford to take care of our own citizens (we can’t afford it, which is why so many are sinking).
Our infrastructure can’t handle it, and our labor market can’t handle it because we have a massive surplus of labor as it is. And most Latin American immigrants are much more frugal than US-born citizens (wisely so), so they don’t contribute as much to the economy on the consumption/demand side.
