“I’m here for my money and my free house. It’s my dream.” Notice the entitlement. MY money and MY free house. So this is your reminder that mass immigration at this scale is impossible without heavy government funding. They are not coming to the West to work. They are coming for the subsidized lifestyle you pay for. Their net contribution is not zero, it is negative. This would never have happened at this level without a massive public trough funding it. Your tax dollars are the incentive. You work hard, the government takes your money, and funnels it to them. You are funding this reality. Take it up with your government. They are the ones confiscating your earnings to incentivize mass immigration.
