Yes.
No amount of money will change that. Many in other countries look to the west hoping it collapses and we all die. Many other good people from other countries would love to come here and live the American dream. A nice house, a small family, a good income, and a peaceful life.

America should help it's own first, and really work on the quality of people it produces in the schools. Quality of life people!
Look at China, who wants 1 billion people in the country if 900 million are illiterate and poor? I have a friend over in China right now who has been there for nearly 4 years. He's wealthy and just partying for the most part. He likes to say that outside of his city is a wasteland for dozens and dozens of miles of shack after shack after shack. I asked him if it bugged him that he lives in such luxury while merely a few miles away people live on dirt floors and share 1 chicken and a pot of mushy rice between a dozen people. He only answers on ICQ with a "LOL you get used to it, makes for cheap hookers".
