TEMPORARY 2 year work-visa’s for foreign workers are working just fine in Singapore.
I spent a week last year in Singapore to find out why it is so prosperous in a few short decades after gaining independence from British colonial rule.
The prosperity is nothing short of amazing. Every 6th citizen of Singapore is a millionaire. Every major corporation does business in Singapore or has a branch office there. Their hospitals, underground highways, International airport, Ocean cruise terminal make ours in US look like third world.
Why so much prosperity in such a short time? First, they eliminated all welfare to able bodied citizens in working age range. There is no unemployment checks, no food stamps. If you do not work, you do not eat. The result is Singapore has 40% more jobs than there are citizens to fill them.
Their immigration policy is 2 year work-visa’s. There are 2 million foreigners workers in a country of 3.5 million citizens. They do jobs citizens do not want. When work visa expires they must return home and re-apply. Businesses can not hire any non-citizens without work-visa. The foreign workers are from all over Asia. Trouble makers are promptly deported. But few create trouble because those jobs pay well, and living conditions in Singapore are better than their home country.
I demand to know. Was Scott Walker lying when he said he was for Amnesty or is he lying now. It’s really pretty simple. We don’t need any more Lies!!
