[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 1993209, member: 7539"] Obviously there are tons of immigrants who do want to work hard and have a better life. My point is that if we continue to advertise a great nation, where it's better than your homeland AND you can live off the government in a lifestyle better than where you came from, WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE DO YOU THINK WILL COME? I am all for immigration. I believe the current system is completely broken and needs wholly replaced. BUT... I think it's fool-hearty to promote laziness. Incentives have certainly been provided to immigrants all through the ages... "come to America and get 40 acres" and the whole biz... hell we even still do that to promote people to settle in Alaska I think? That's a far cry from "come to America and get free healthcare, food stamps, TANF and free housing for doing absolutely NOTHING" though... [/QUOTE]
