At that point we get to what I think should happen with all immigrants. I.E. - if you're not from the EU you shouldn't be entitled to any welfare system until you've paid taxes for two years - if an immigrant wants anything other than emergency care they will have to pay for it, either up front, or with a state-provided loan. |
I agree with the amnesty, but not with the rest of your post; imo, treat them all free, the cost of not doing so is higher in terms of crime and diseases, than any rise in taxation that may or may not be needed to do this. this is my view anyway.
