On a tangental note, immigration is actually the bigggest reason I’m against too many social services. By definition, it’s impossible to provide unlimited free services – free education, free child care, free medicine, free soup – to an unlimited supply of people. So, as long as we are providing those services, and the more of those services we provide, the more we are going to be closed off to foreigners joining our community. We just can’t afford to support everyone who’s here, plus everyone who comes through on their way to somewhere else. I’m in favor of open immigration, even with all the crime control problems and evangelism opportunities that come with it. So I must be against all those social services that give people reasons to be against immigration.
