We have 10 times their population...we are a nation with no borders (at your doing)...they are a distributed city on an Island which incarcerates illegal aliens.
We fought for our freedom from people like you. They did not. You have created a large percentage of people who want to be dependent on the state rather than free men. But, not enough. There are still enough freedom loving rugged individualists who will want to stop you. Why? Because you cannot turn the US into Australia without destroying the country. You will have to repeal the Constitution first. Set your sights on that, and see how things go. You might want to wait another couple decades, and make more inroads in weakening suburban and rural society. You might have more success then.
