I’ve got a friend who lives in Brooklyn. She saw a group of Chinese immigrants, who spoke absolutely NO English, and there was a NYC government van and worker there, signing them up for benefits. They had signs up saying “Sign up now, no need to be a citizen.”
We are committing suicide....

You know, Ed, there are advocacy groups, get this, ON THE STATE/LOCAL/FEDERAL PAYROLL, that seek people to push free social services onto.
They are “giving them their rights” and getting them on the dole.
Let’s review...worthless Government employee (3 deep if you count retired ones behind this one) we pay for life, with benefits (salary + 20% over private sector, plus unfunded lifetime pension) to hand out lifetime money to people who never paid into it...
That is probably an negative $1 million dollars in opportunity costs for providing the government worker and all the doling out.
The Government likes to spend our money to keep themselves an the union coffers full.
Suicide is a great analogy.
