“But as a resident of France, I’ve seen benefits (particularly health care benefits) dwindle over the last 10 years to cover less and less, without a commensurate reduction in taxes. I’ve also seen French people in true need continue to suffer while the government diverts its resources to newly arrived migrants.”
We are doing the same thing in this country, and the “dry tinder” is rapidly being replaced by outstretched palms of imported foreigners. If Europe had enough dry tinder, they wouldn’t be importing millions of parasites into their homelands. The muzzies are the “replacement tinder”...and non-contributing beneficiaries of the welfare state.
Not surprisingly, illegal aliens were on the top of the list, followed in order by legal aliens, long term residents, naturalized immigrants and, dead last, U.S. born citizens.
And, yet, we are told ad naseum by the media elites that we need immigration (legal and illegal not distinguised) because native born Americans are not reproducing at replacement level and aren't the boon to the economy that immigrants are. We're old, fat, lazy and stupid. Immigrants are young, fit, ambitious and smart.
