Soccer Mom: Unplugged

Britain is seen as such a soft touch that poor people from countries such as America are even coming here now.

A couple of years ago I met two black guys from the States who were over here because they thought they could get a better standard of living.

One was from Ohio and the other from Kansas. They claimed asylum because they said they were racially discriminated against at home.

But they freely admitted they were here for the free healthcare and accommodation. It is an absolute joke.

They could have been here for up to five years before their application was processed.

Who bears the burden for the freeloaders? It's not just the rich, as some would have you believe, though they definitely bear a disproportionate percentage of the caretaking costs.  Middle class workers, who are honest and hard working are being taken to the cleaners by unscrupulous moochers who live for government (tax payer funded) freebies.  Even though Americans have been able to largely avoid this kind of laziness epidemic, don't be fooled into thinking that it couldn't happen here.

About 12 years ago, my hometown newspaper featured a series of articles about the conditions in the local housing projects.  I remember feeling shock at the pictures of some of the well manicured, expensively dressed inhabitants. Geez. They have more disposable cash than I do, I thought.  The clincher was when a young girl, 18 or so, was describing her circumstance.  She said that the apartment was fine but living in such close quarters was an adjustment and somewhat annoying because she would frequently awaken in the middle of the night when the neighbors car alarm would sound "Step away from the Viper".  She complained that it was disturbing for her baby.

Did you catch that?  Step away from the Viper... Who the hell owns a viper and lives in the projects?

By the way, the Sun article indicates that only half of British immigrants are legit - the other 50% are climbing aboard for the free ride.
