[lentulusgracchus]

You err. The solution to "social problems" is more complicated, when the "problems" are people who come to your country to settle, and who do not admit the authority of your People or their laws, and who fully intend to live under their own laws, to the diminishment of yours and to the manifest injury of your People.

When it's about authority, power, sovereignty and control, no amount of money is going to sweeten that into a Sunday-school picnic.

Correct, Earth will never be Eden but if your efforts are to legislate sin away then people will continue to sin away. They best we can do is the best we can do and that happens when people have opportunity and can plan for a moral life. People with a vested interest in being the best they can be will make efforts in that direction and be less inclined to screw up their chances.
