Thanks guys, but I can only take credit for posting it. I got it in an e-mail from one of my friends. I thought about editing it a little, but it is plenty good the way it is.

Now, if only our politicians could obtain a little common sense, our country would be much better off. What I really cannot understand is how life long welfare can help our country or even the poor for that matter. The welfare cycle needs to be broken and these people need to be provided some ambition to actually work and better themselves.

The same goes for immigration. There has to be a common sense approach to solving this problem, other than doing nothing. Why is it so hard to close the borders, come up with a plan for those already here illegally, and get on with life.

Maybe, just maybe, the two items are related. The poor do not want to work because they are under bid by the illegals that are willing to live in terrible situations, because those terrible situations are better than what they had in their old country. However, welfare provides enough to the legal poor for them to live more comfortably than the illegals.

Now I am thinking too much.
