[quote=Tommy;1010627]Another issue is the tendency of political leaders of slow growing nations to open their borders to people of other cultures so they can keep government pyramid schemes like social security funded without raising taxes. It keeps the government spending tap open QUOTE]
Yes and no. Many countries are now closing their borders and some countries are kicking people out that are already there. Australia, Spain, and Japan reportedly are heading the list.
Canada meanwhile has a fairly generous welfare system and a fairly open border to people claiming refugee status. So what's going to happen? More people are going to end up coming here, not becuase we need them but because they can get in and then they will immediately begin claiming benefits. Most Canadians are against these policies but we are powerless to do anything about it. Of course you have ~13 million illegals so you are probably worse off than we are.
