But once something like that happened I bet there would still be a ton of them laying back and sucking the government tit. Those should be kicked the fuck out.
If they're employed and get integrated into the tax system, no problem with amnesty here either.
New immigrants coming in legally, welcome.
But, if we're gonna ship tit suckers out we need to be doing it on a larger scale than tit suckers sidling in. Imo, we need to be more aggressive about the influx to really reduce the hit to the economy and return to the melting pot concept whereby immigration is beneficial to both the immigrants, and to the permanent residents and citizens that are already here.
Like Tiki mentioned, Australia's cracking down hard on new refugees and making it very profitable for people to drop the dime on people smugglers. I know the network of traffickers here is very dispersed and disjointed, but I'd like to see more focus on infiltrating and busting up those smugglers than on the war on drugs.
