Of course there are native moochers and if we could offload them to another country that wants to take responsibility for them great. Since there aren’t any that I know of, outside of western countries wanting to take responsibility for non-western countries’ social and economic shortcomings, it’s not viable. Do you see rich middle eastern countries taking in any refugees from anywhere in any significant numbers? Many of those countries are in better economic standing than European counties.

In the meantime, we can take care of our own and they can take care of their own, if that’s their culture; which may not be the case and it’s up to them to shape their own society how they want. We had to shed blood to get where we are with wars of independence as well as a civil war. Time for them to man up and shape their own societies to their own customs and liking.

We don’t need to be the Nannie’s of the world. We need to take care of our own problems, of which there are many, including homelessness, drug addiction, depreciated wages often exacerbated by cheap labor. No, I’m with the Bernie of the early nineties.
