I suggest you talk to Luisa, in the Philippines, to see how difficult and expensive it is to just
apply to come here under the current system. That, with the odds of making it being so low, 10 million (your number) shows how many would come with no restrictions.

My argument that most people like where they live doesn't hold water? Based on the fact that every year nearly .002% of the globe applies for their stake in the greatest place on the planet? I can see how I was wrong to think they didn't have penis envy.

So the 7 million people that have starved to death, so far this year, would not have rather been here? The millions of people living in refugee camps would rather not of been here? The billions living in eternal poverty and draconian governments, would rather not be here? Grow up.

If you're not acting out of love, don't act at all. So, even if they DO count as a 'burden' on our economy, If I have to pay some extra taxes to support some millions of people having a better life, and doing what they find most enjoyable... well shucks I guess I'll just wait to buy that TV that costs the same as some people's yearly salary.

Well, Pollyanna that's just wonderful. I'm glad you're so happy spending
my money.
