When they mention Procter & Gamble, we Cincinnatians have a little bit of history on the subject. Both were born at about the beginning of 1800, a mere decade after the Constitution came into being. An Englishman and an Irishman, both were pre-assimilated, since our culture was their culture, and a few short years before had been a part of their country. So when this article talks about the great businesses formed by immigrants, we are talking about teenagers who came to this country in a different era. They were here a dozen years before their mutual father-in-law talked them into combining their candle and soap businesses.

In other words, they had trades they practiced, and did not come to this country and mooch. Believing a moocher is going to start something other than a methamphetamine business is pie-in-the-sky economics.

When immigrants came to the United States before the creation of the welfare state, they came here with the attitude that they were either going to work their butts off and make a new life for themselves, or they were going to starve.

Today a large number of “immigrants are coming here with the idea that they are going to get all kinds of free benefits paid for by the American taxpayers and if they are successful, they will never have to work a day in their lives. Free food, free education, free housing. None of this was available 100 years ago when we had “open borders”.

As long as we have a liberal welfare state, it is imperative that nobody be allowed to come to this country that will be a burden on the taxpayers.

If they want to see a large migration of immigrants return to their “own country” (that’s the term they use) then all we need to do is to clamp down on birthright citizenship and welfare for people who are not citizens.

But that will never happen. Not with the present Congress or the current crop of politicians. I don’t really see an end to this unless and until the government eventually runs out of other people’s money. When that happens, there will be blood in the streets.

I remember in the 1970’s when the liberals were all decrying the growth in population of the United States. Now these same lefties are calling for millions of new immigrants to come here every year. What happened to all the population control liberals?
