Thread Name: BS: How poor have you ever been?
Subject: RE: BS: How poor have you ever been?
One of the fascinating things about the USA is that it is HUGE, and a lot of people want to come here, and our 'underclass' of poor and marginal keeps growing faster than ANY bureaucracy can deal with them. At present, our esteemed president is saying that illegal immigrants from Mexico will be tolerated, exempted and 'aided' in various ways...and the President of Mexico is saying "Anyway, you can't do anything about it, and we sure won't make any effort to keep 'em home"

bodes well for the future of "Wars on Poverty", huh? Do the math...'X' amount of goods & services divided among X+Y+Z needy. Even if we sealed off all borders today, internal growth would make it almost impossible to find, aid & distribute stuff where it's needed.


The only solutions are ideas that no politician can even contemplate.
We are in for a much greater rift between the haves and the have-nots as this situation developes.
