I also think that Obama is a vast improvement to Bush (who was not much short of a cretin). I also think that the USA should aspire to have a health system like Britain or Canada - the British health system is the envy of the World and I for one am proud of it. I have also lived in Canada (emigrated years ago and my Grandfather was a Canadian citizen who was in the Canadian army). Although not quite the same as GB I found that their health system was also excellent and to be admired.

I do the same.
I didn't sneak in, rationalize that my home country was at fault, suck up entitlement benefits and then try to change America.
I see nothing wrong with 'profiling' to find the users and abusers and then sending them home.
Last night my local police rounded up a dozen bangers from a Mexican drug cartel right before they went on a rampaige to kill off the competition. I would have waited until after.

Re: This might provide some insight.
I hope you don't think I inferred that you entered the country through the back door. I was just thinking that you may well have had European immigants as ancestors
If people can trace back their history far enough it is surprising what they discover about themselves and it seems to put (legal) immigration into perspective, I think. We have many similar problems as the USA regarding immigrants (legal and illegal) and I am firmly with you in believing that when you are accepted into another country folk should give their allegiance to that country and endeavour to conribute something positive to it. There are scroungers and cheats everywhere in the World. I watched the bit of Klavan you put up - its good to have the comedians examine and challenge authority - it keeps us on our toes and make us keep thinking. Was he saying that you would be better off with British rule again (tongue firmly in cheek).

Re: This might provide some insight.
Being a former credit manager, and a severe critic of China'a policies and treatment of their own people, I think there is only a singular course of action here.I have a solid pecuniary reason for such action on remuneration. That opinion is based on my rock solid examination of markets and an anecdotal interest in the short-term needs of the baby boomer exit affecting one-third of our country's wealth production, taxation and needs for our people.
It is the only fiscal action which positively defines the equation on our country's stability and bedrock need to produce anything, no matter what your philosophy on guns vs. butter.
And that learned opinion is this: Who gives a flying rip? Screw 'em.
