Bush certainly didn't help at all, but Bill Clinton with the deregulation is one of the major causes of the current financial crisis. The Democrats were in control of the House, Senate and now the White House.
Yes, I did make a bit of a generalization there. My main point here would be, again, those who don't work or pay taxes shouldn't be able to get by on someone else's money. Immigrants were not the cause of all the issues we currently face, but this situation certainly isn't helping anything. The whole idea of immigration is that they come over, get an education and contribute to society to offset the costs of bringing them here. This isn't exactly what's going on...
You do have some very good points, VaKo.
