oh That and you want to open the borders before we limit government, axe the welfare state, and secure property rights in this country. Until we do that, allowing huge immigration and naturalisation from the left wing south will move this country to the left. Not good.
End of libertarian rant.
I'd quickly horsetrade my hypothetical support of legal prostitution for a vote on the above cuts. Immigration presents a different set of pragmatic consequences.
Historically, legal immigration has always required that an immigrant have a financial sponsor in the USA who guarantees that the immigrant will not become a ward of the state. It was on that specific basis that I sponsored my wife to become a legal immigrant...that I would guarantee she would not become dependent on the taxpayers. That was the reason for the existence of ethnic groups like PRCU and PNA - Polish National Alliance.
That long standing historical policy needs to be expanded and enforced. No AFDC, Medicaid, Medicare, SSI, Kidcare, etc for an immigrant, regardless of legal or illegal. For people like me the moral distinction is not "legal" or "illegal", the moral distinction is "come here to work" or "come here to be a parasite".
