What have you got that will offset the Welfare State, or Medicaid, or Food Stamps, or the billions spent by counties to take care of people who have no money, or the cost of the prison system which caters to people with no money, or any of a thousand other benefits for the poor that the wealthy (and even the middle class) have to pay for? You've been told several time today: They get to live in a country that offers them great stability and that discourages the masses from assaulting or molesting them. For that reason, they don't leave even when the taxes are raised.
