I certainly hope that the US doesn't drift any closer to socialism! Here in Canada, we're closer than the US, and some of the current practice is just stupid. I'm not sure what you know of illegal immigration into Canada, but our government puts up such people in hotels and pays their expenses... on my dime. Actually, it's far more than a dime.
Oh great, now you've given our American Democrats a new idea.
Amazing isn't it? Illegal! That's the keyword here. Illegal immigration into a country. But in America our Democratic party and the radical Leftists, there is actually a difference between them but it is slim, are claiming those who support enforcement of our laws concerning immigration itself are Xenophobic and racist. And they conflate immigration itself so as to charge we are against immigration, not illegal immigration, so that we who are all for law abiding immigrants entering our nation are instead made to look like the bad people.
While those Democrats and Leftists could care less that they are the bad people when they believe immigration laws do not apply to....illegals.
Our House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, who was HS during Obama's terms and was so mentally off that members of her own party said she must be removed from the seat for the sake of the party, and later under Trump was re-elected to that same seat, claimed the wall at our southern border would be immoral. (We've had walls to our south for decades). Meanwhile, Ms. Pelosi lives in a gated community, in a mansion, and behind, you guessed it, walls. Oh, and investigative reporters discovered she also retains illegals for her hired help.
For a very long time now those of us who have followed the politic of this country know that when those on Capitol Hill talk about what needs to be done to curb yet more freedom, tax yet more people ,threaten gun ownership yet again, sustain criminal activity at tax payer expense, because we should be OK with MS13 members raping, killing, dismembering , our daughters, while a gateway to our south allows cartel drugs to funnel in above ground and through the tunnels system. A system that is said to run under the entire contiguous U.S., those politicians on the left side of the aisle in our Legislative hall are actually talking about the working class having to adjust to their whims. Not themselves nor their rich top 1% of those they rub elbows with at parties.
But us. We're to suffer criminal activity by illegals. We're to pay more taxes so as to insure illegals get all the benefits they don't actually deserve. While our elderly have to scrape by as their social security grows less and less secure.
But have you noticed? It is the same throughout recorded history since governance was invented. The few always rule over the many. And those few always live better at the expense and through the hard work of the many.
People in America want change but what many fail to realize is we are the change. Because we the people outnumber those who are letting us down. Be it on the federal level or in our state politics.
The same goes with Canada.
Do the math. Obviously, your politicians are not.
These times are what revolutions are made of.
