This is the thing which attracts immigrants from all over the socialist/communist republics of the world and they are the ones who make it big.

No one wants to change that, there is double speak here when people do sympathize but when it comes to foot the bill, no tax payer is ready for that.

Obviously most Americans don’t have high incomes so it’s still someone else’s bill - but sentiments are shifting somewhat.
