My parents were on welfare for about a year when we got in to Canada. No one really wants to employ chemical engeneers that don't speak English.

Even if 50% of people on welfare abuse the system, the other 50% of people it genuenly helps to get started in a country are worth having welfare.

Don't you usually have to speak the language before they allow you to immigrate to most countries in the first place?
