People hate reality. They prefer illusions. Numbers are illusions. Here is your own illusion you want to see: Take citizenship. It is not a product nor a service. But you want to sell it. I say, just let the hordes enter, Make them pay dearly in taxes!! But you look to NZ numbers and see reality: roads, cops with handcuffs inside cars, airports, camping grounds, universities, jails, sports stadia, power plants, wharfs and want the guy who arrive pay for it. (Perhaps even before arriving) But I don't look to numbers. I look to naked and cold reality. Which means he -the potential immigrant- saves somewhere and handover his savings to you on arrival. But he had not had any say on the decisions on what where and by whom, the infrastructure of NZ would be built. (in a democracy you need to give a say to the guy who pays taxes) What is right is to let the hordes come, pay taxes, and then let them vote to have a say on how those taxes are to be spent. But look to the US. They don't give the vote to the illegals who pay VAT every time they consume and the US get that taxes and let the locals decide what is to be done with them. Even to pay for a fence and for Immigration officials to punish the tax payer, who came illegally. They got the illegals money and handed over to the local poor residents as Elroy explained to me they have lots of social programs there. Now California is having a tough time because they don't have the tax payer who returned to Mexico and Guatemala and cannot use them as scape goats for their plight.
