I feel the same. I am hopeful only because the states going bankrupt are going to be unable to continue to provide services, either to them or us. I will take it.
Why would Puerto Ricans go to Mexico?
That’s true about dwindling services, but I’d bet that American citizens will be the first cut, and they will be the last. It’s too bad it’s not as easy for the Somalis to go home. My azz has been chapped over them ever since I read the story of how one group of them deliberately targeted a small town in Maine in order to attach themselves parasitically to the town’s small but seldom-used social services resources, and thereby overwhelmed the town. That is the most cynical, parasitical use of American generosity by a group I’ve ever heard of, and I know it couldn’t be an isolated case.
