A Ponzi scheme.
So when the descendants of those immigrants become fat and lazy, what then--we import a gazillion more, and so forth until this country has wall-to-wall people?
Kiss your freedooms goodbye when that happens (as it is already happening).
If there weren't so many immigrants, maybe a lot of those old people could get jobs driving cabs.
This is such a joke.
We got people taking "early retirement" at 50.
We got employers who avoid hiring peole over 40.
And we got people over 40 who are lazy, stupid, worthless blankety-blanks.
My solution is no one should be allowed to immigrate to this country unless he can purchase his citizenship from an existing American, who can then take the purchase price of his citizenships, and go to a third world country to live like a leech.
Of course, aspiring immigrants should first be licensed by the government to bid, because it's not enough merely for someone to have the purchase price: Immigrants should also pass through an approval process before being allowed to buy their citizenship.
To ensure the governemnt likes this idea, the government could impose a sales tax on the purchase of citizenships--there, that should do it.
Yep, and the educated cream of the crop can't get a visa to come here because the next tier underbids even their wages. Just who do our glorious internationalists think will carry on this country? This guy hits it squarely on the head!
