I couldn't agree more. We've posted quite a bit of information here that suggests the same AND shows some indication that our government will not necessarily take the side one might expect.
Our government is VERY predictable. Snapshot today, add multiple millions more population, subtract taxable income from each and every legal American citizen to fund social programs while exhausting social security. Plus side (government point of view) - ultra-efficient highway through the breadbasket of America and "international" traffic.
