Watching the News

 This whole Somali welfare scandal in Minnesota has me intrigued and amused. It seems that the Somalis looted the welfare system while the elected officials looked on with disinterest.

Ilhan Omar thinks it is racist to point out that the vast majority of those involved are Somali immigrants.  Whatshisname Walz seems to think that he is blameless in this whole thing.  He's pathetic, he really is, both as a governor and as a man. The guy is a caricature of himself.

We really need to re-do the immigration system.  I would like to propose a few rules.

1.  Have a working knowledge of the English language when you cross the border.  Don't learn it here.  Learn it at home before you come.

2.  No government benefits or government employment for ten years. None, not rent assistance, ot food stamps, not a cell phone.  Either make it on your own or starve.

I think those two would be a good place to start.

yes. that is a good start. we really need to stop feeding the damn world. and stop paying people to sit on their ass too. can't get or hold a real job ? fine. you can pick up trash along side the road.
back in the 1990's there was this one asshole who sat on his front step every day with a "40"
in a brown bag. yeah. at 715 am. I was going to work and he used to wave at me. hell, he waved at everyone that went by. in the middle/later 1990's. they cut his welfare and he got a job.
image that. he got a job. sweeping floors at the hospital for 8 bucks a hour. there are a lot of assholes just like him on the dole.

No government benefits is how it was in the past. You had to be sponsored, the sponsor put up a bond, and they signed a contract that said they would support whomever, and the person sponsored would not receive any government benefits. I know someone that came in that way, in the early 80s. He had let his green card lapse, and his BIL put up the bond.

That is a really great pair of rules in first steps to BECOMING LEGAL U.S. citizens. If you are unsure you want to be here - whole dadgum world to choose. Here - nope.

I understand Canada has (had ?) a rule that the new immigrant had to provide a work address they would be gaining their living. No parasites desired. Good rule too.
