You hit the nail on the head - but maybe in a way you didn't intend.

"Offer any hungry man a job and he will take it. "

Problem is that we have decided that we will not, as a society, allow anyone to go hungry. So, we set up welfare systems. We set up jobless benefits. We take away the will to work.

I would submit to you that employers would much rather hire red blooded Americans than illegals here in the US or send work outside our borders. The issue is simple economics, and the fact that we have placed our workers in a position of not having to work to avoid hunger. Employers are in business to make money. Why do the Vietnamese, the Mexicans, the central Americans work in our country? Because they are hungry. On the contrary, many of our own citizens are better off feeding from OUR trough than making it on their own. Why work when you are rewarded for not working (and having extra babies to claim on your taxes for a fat unearned check in February)?

Sooner or later someone will....no, MUST wake up and realize that we are screwing up by the numbers, and it is only getting worse in a geomteric rather than arithmetic progression.
