“A welfare state is frightened of every poor person who tries to get in and every rich person who tries to get out.”

hmmm, explains a lot of hysteria and prejudice.

Reston. Heh, it sounds like "restin." He must work for the government.

Mostly demagoguery (spel?).

Absolutely.

It's amazing how truth is always ridiculed by the people it reflects upon most negatively. Then again, when has anyone connected with the government ever been a fan of truth, right George? LOL.

Which is another way of saying that America's "immigration problem" is really just a welfare problem.

A natural state welcomes the efforts of any individual productively moving the environment ever closer to a human condition.
