Lou Dobbs laments the lack of "European" immigrant-wannabees

Here's a clue, Lou..

"European" white people don't want to move here and become citizens because:

they like the higher wages in Old Europe
they like the socialized health care
they like the liberal paid vacations there
they like the guaranteed old age benefits
they like their union jobs
they like the good public transportation
they like the free (or nearly free) university opportunities
they like the "redundancy"/unemployment benefits

even though years of destructive political leaders have tried to ruin their systems, they know they still have a better chance there.. and with the EU in place, they can come and go freely throughout most of Old Europe..

What could they expect here?

Not as much as they have now..

America is a magnet to desperate people...that's why we don't get as many "Europeans" these days..

When we finally awaken and see the light, we might be able to change things so that not only the truly desperate will come here,but until that happens, things will not change.
