"Steve King: Immigration reform: Amnesty will only expand bloated welfare state"


Quote
WASHINGTON — How can "comprehensive immigration reform" benefit our American children and grandchildren, who will prosper from or suffer the consequences of our decisions?

American immigration policy should be designed to enhance the economic, cultural and social wellbeing of Americans.

On a planet of 7 billion people, millions would sacrifice a great deal for an opportunity to succeed at the American dream. We cannot accept them all. Many open-borders advocates see the United States as a lifeboat saving people from poverty. Overloaded lifeboats sink. Ours is taking on water now.

 

We have become a cradle-to-grave welfare state. Milton Friedman referred to open borders as "free immigration to welfare."

Economist Art Laffer agrees with Friedman on this point but argues for open migration to jobs and admonished those who disagree, "Then eliminate the welfare state."

What ever happened to the American Dream?  Hard work pays off?  Be as rich as Al Gore?

How does Amnesty II move us forward?  Perpetual amnesty for illegals?  Third world poverty?  Open borders to the welfare state paid for by generations of Americans?
