Unfortunately there's no easy solution. We've started a snowball rolling down the hill that's turned into an avalanche. One thing is for certain, we can't continue on the path we're on and expect to remain a united nation. I'm not sure that the ones getting government aid don't outnumber the taxpaying citizens now. There's little motive to excel in business when you're going to be paying out 50-80% of your profit to feed the fat cats in washington and those whose survive strictly by hanging on the Government tit.

As far as immigration goes, it's hard to fault people for wanting to come and work to improve their station in life but on the other hand, we can't just open our borders either. We have a procedure for becoming a naturalized citizen. My wife went thru it and it works. Maybe we need to revamp that instead of allowing illegals to run rampant.

Tough decisions to be made, laws need to be enforced humanely but firmly.
