Economic Migration vs
Welfare Migration, by Martin Armstrong, 6/15/18.
Sir,
After reading your blog post about the 300% increase in the cost of healthcare
for refugees, I wondered the cost in this country for illegal aliens.
Healthcare. Education. Food stamps. Etc. I googled anywhere from 3.4 to 11
billion dollars from health care alone.
ANSWER:
The cost of socialism is not merely over the top, it has altered the migration
patterns within human society tremendously.
The
waves of migration from Europe to America were each inspired by the economic
conditions at home. Therefore, we find the Irish, Germans, Italians, and
English all coming during varied waves or periods overall when looking at the
majority (naturally there were people from each group who moved for personal
reasons). Nonetheless, the one thing that they all had in common was that they
paid for their passage and they did not expect social benefits for free.
Today,
the migration patterns are purely economic, but they are inspired by socialism
whereby they need only show up and receive automatic income and benefits.
When
the European migration took place, predominantly during the 19th century and
then waves after World War I and World War II, the people received no handouts
from the taxpayer. There were no social programs to receive free living
expenses. Churches provided food when people gave to charity BEFORE there were
taxes. Europeans migrated to the United States to start new lives and to earn a
living — not because they would be subsidized.
There
are waves of migration that are caused by political unrest and no doubt some of
that was at the reason for people fleeing Syria. Less know is the wave of
refugees fleeing to Colombia and Venezuela who are also seeking security and
economic stability since the army continues to support the Venezuelan socialist
government that is collapsing.
There
were Americans in the south who fled to Brazil during the Civil War. They were
called Confederados (Portuguese pronunciation: [kõfedeˈɾadus]) and were some
10,000 to 20,000 Confederate American refugees. They settled primarily in the state
of São Paulo.
Providing
welfare checks to show up on your soil alters the reasons for migration that
have existed for thousands of years.
