<you are seeing much more atractions -as a local- than it actually has from the poeple from the outside. > Not at all ElM. That's why citizenship needs to be an auction. The price might even be so low that we'd be better off just to stay as we are. I know most people would far prefer to go to the USA to make money, which is what poor people are after, primarily [provided other things are okay too]. They have relatively lean pickings here compared with the USA, but there are other merits and it's not a bad second, third or tenth choice if USA, Canada, Switzerland, Britain, Australia etc won't have them. <What I see is dirty poor people, illiterate, ignorant desperate to make a living on developed countries. Swiming accross the Rio Grande > They should stay where they are and vote for civilization. India has started to figure it out after 50 years of voting for poverty and going nowhere fast. China doesn't have voting, but they've figured out that capitalism, private property, open borders and the other good stuff are necessary to improve things. They can export their talent, who can earn a load of money, then return with it to a comfortable culture. We did that, friends in India did that. Mass migration isn't the way to upgrade countries which are held back only by their own political systems. Mqurice
