Yep....pretty much proves my point, no?

We’re paying folks to a.) either sit on their butts....or, b.) to work at cash paying jobs (ei, illegals) AND collect welfare.

I especially liked this line, from your article post....

...But there has also been a big increase in people who are not working and not getting government assistance. If we hope to draw these folks back into jobs, then increasing wages and creating a tighter job market by reducing immigration would be extremely helpful.

Increasing wages?? Or, maybe....they’d end up working more than ONE job and then aspire to higher paying jobs....to elevate their lifestyles. Geez....I remember doing just that, at times. Being poor USED to be a GREAT motivator...to work hard.

Not anymore, with taxpayer funded handouts :-/

The point is that immigrants are using welfare programs to a greater extent than the native born. And we have a shortage of jobs, not workers.
