This cartoon caught my attention.  I'm sure it's meant as a criticism, and is likely untrue.

Import the Poor, Export the Rich

However, a poor person can become a well-to-do person if decent work opportunities are available.  Immigrants in particular are highly inclined to start business which eventually create more jobs.  And they're practical folks.

Rich people don't work.  They just suck up resources.

It is much easier to turn a poor person into a contributing citizen than it is to make a rich person either decent or productive.  So I'd much rather have poor immigrants than rich loafers, because I know who is actually useful to have around.

I think it's a brilliant idea, myself. All the rich people can go make their own country somewhere ELSE & the rest of us can actually get some shit done.
