Just like fighting crime, wouldn't it be more cost effective in the long run to for us to get these countries and their people on their feet?
Terrific. We can't afford to get our own poor on their feet, and you expect us to get people from foreign countries on their feet. Terrific. How much of your income are you willing to sacrifice for such a global welfare scheme? 50% perhaps?

Is it really ok to just go take someone elses earnings because we are not getting what we want at home? I think not. That's called theft.

It's one thing to propose socialist schemes within our own borders to help our own people....I'd argue with it, of course, as not having worked elsewhere, but YOU expect us to support others with our tax dollars in their countries?

Is there something wrong with the concept of self sufficiency, of people taking responsibility for themselves? I suppose you got all this leftist stuff from your school..... right? You were taught socialism ???
