I am in favor of limiting the numbers of people moving into the U.S.A. each year. I believe in a "push" back approach. I think that the places the people come from are very beautiful and could benefit from development of their own resources. I would rather go to Mexico, for example, and spend money to stay in a village than to spend tax money to support people from Mexico living in the U.S.A. on welfare. There are not enough native jobs to keep Americans in the U.S. living above the poverty level. Many children are straving and getting a poor education.
Instead of coming here, people might think of making farming and other such industries first on their list of self sustaining home grown industries.
Last year I met an organizer from southern California - can't recall his name right now but he was very well known for advocating rights for Mexican Americans. I told him that the game was not in southern California, it was in northern Mexico. Most southern Californians look for places to go - the same people who migrate to southern California could be making more money in northern Mexico in the tourist industry, the entertainment industry and the food industry. Ditto for the other countries.
Another point is that if we could lower our cost per person to bring these people in, then we would have more money and resources for in country education, health etc. that would better prepare our citizens for public service. Public service is a direct result of higher education. Everyone would benefit.
I am not against groups joining into the SC for political reasons. This is the U.S.A. after all isn't it and freedom to stay and do what ones wants is a right. Just because they are more organized doesn't make them bad. Maybe the SC should think of ways to educate them, like making them take a test before they join. Maybe they could use these lemons with water (education on natural resources) and sugar (good PR) to make lemonade?
I am also against outsourcing. It makes no sense.
Are we working more now and enjoying our lives less? Yes.
Everyone should stay home and look into their own back yards for the solution. It is more beautiful than you think.
