but they are paying for the drain on infrastructure and resources.
Very grey area here but there needs to be a line somewhere and that somewhere needs to be addressed at some point.
I had a similar discussion with a pal from Mexico who has gone the route of green card to citizenship and his take on
immigration into the US was quite plain. He toiled for a long time working for his citizenship while in low-paying jobs but
he noted that was a choice to leave his home land. He feels though he's left his family behind, the attachment is emotional
but coming here the choice was to make a different life he couldn't find back home and not a monetary choice or one
looking for freebies.
I know many from Europe who have done the same and they had no expectations for receiving hand-outs, just to work for
a life here and do the necessary things to achieve their goals.
