I’ve known many French and Indian emigres to the US who yearn for the good old socialism where you pay sky-high taxes and get all the “free”stuff from the government. They simply cannot leave it behind and embrace the messiness that is U.S. business with all its vicissitudes, layoffs, booms, busts, and lack of guarantees. Frankly, these people should have been weeded out and kept out.
I know MANY Mexicans with the same disease. They are NOT going to change the way they think/believe, no matter what happens. Sadly, a lot of them are my relatives.
