I just don't get why people from Central and South America are flooding into U.S. and Europe????? I was just recently in Central America: very, very beautiful and interesting regions. Great, great weather. People are not hungry there and are fairly comfortable with basic living. Crime is evidenced but can be avoided if you're willing to mind your own business and not carrying a lot of valuable things. Just don't get the mad dash out of these countries?????

I could be wrong but don't a lot of these other countries depend on the USA for military aid and defense ?
So the millions they put in social programs is not spent on military .

Because it costs money to emigrate to a higher developed country and the average American hasn't got any to spare.

Maybe you could front a loan to someone who wants to leave?

That tree-hating clown would say ANYTHING to rile up his chest-thumping voting base. It is truly sad that people from other countries view this as some kind of paradise. It certainly feeds that crowd with more welfare benefits than they have ever known.
