Immigration

I see no way this will ever be fixed as long as the world is driven by  the desire to amass money.. I do not say this in any altruistic sense,  just logic. This may be the best system we’ve got at the moment, but it is by no means a good one.

While I am by far (for the moment) much better off than these folks, I am by no means immune to perhaps having to choose between living and dying for myself and or a family member because of monetary constraints at some point.

I’m all for political correctness under most circumstances, but this one kind of reeks of political pandering to me. And misplaced pandering, at that. Why apologise now for that incident, when a whole bunch of injustices perpetrated to two larger Asian immigrant populations in BC – the Chinese and Japanese – remain unanswered? Were earlier apologies for specific incidents supposed to be blanket apologies?

Good, this opens up more jobs for actual Americans who are sucking up welfare checks.

Old story.  But people wish to believe it.
