It's a great concept and it should be brought back.. Screw all this free loading crap...

I agree. My grandfather moved here in 1959 with a wife and two kids under 4 years old. My grandmother's sister had married an American soldier after the war, and they lent them 2 grand (a huge amount back then) to move to the US and sponsored them. No welfare, no food stamps. My Grandfather worked in shipyards to get by and went on to pursue a trade.
The immigrants around here get section 8 housing, food stamps, welfare, have all the kids they want it seems, and have more steaks in their carts than I do when in line at the store. They drive fucking explorers I swear, and their teenage sons all sell crack.
This is a sore subject with me right now.
