    Yes

    The same leftwing that tell us automation is coming to take all the low skill jobs are the ones demanding open borders so we can bring in more low skill wokers to fill jibs that soon according them will not exist

    This is called double think and is the result of the party of goodness supporting things that are diametrically opposed. You'd think they would figure this out and be embarrassed but it never happens.

    More poor people in need of welfare is a sweet spot for socialist democrats who want bigger government

    A large percentage of the homeless in San Fran, Seattle, etc... aren’t originally from those cities. Many of them travelled to those cities from hundreds, even thousands, of miles away for the sole reason that they are good places to be a bum.

    It’s funny how poor people can go a thousand miles to be a happier bum, but it’s impossible that any poor person could move in order to better themselves and be more productive.

    Do you have stats to back that up? It may be it's "funny" because it's not really the case.

    Homeless people do travel a lot. They're chased.

    I think it was Tytler who said that 'democracy would succeed until people figured out they could vote themselves money'.

    And yet they live in rural or semi rural areas. Know what the penniless SE Asian refugees did when relocated to the West during the Indo-Chinese unpleasantness? They immediately started growing as much food as they could fit on their apartment window ledges and balconies, or in their tiny inner urban backyards. They didn't take up drinking/drugs. Are you saying these semi-rural Appalachians can't do that? What's preventing them?

    The (wilful, to protect one's position as 'compassionate') ignorance is in thinking that choices aren't responsible for First World poverty.

    You pointed to the fact that nicotine is addictive. As though that has any relevance whatsoever.

    Not in the least. Where did I say that?

    Meantime, what possible relevance does the addictive nature of ANY such expensive and dangerous 'pleasures' have to ordinary responsible adulthood? Driving at 300mph is probably somewhat addictive, too, but since it's dangerous and expensive we choose not to try.

    Yes. SUCH people choose to fill their shopping carts with meat and soda. Genuinely poor people fill theirs with rice and beans.

    Believe Swift had a plan where the poor would raise children as food for the rich. " An Immodest Proposal " if memory serves.

    Assist? Are you talking about that awesome cake I made last time he was here (on one of his frequent jaunts around the globe as guest lecturer at prestigious universities - speaking on his highly lucrative and highly specialised science)? And if by 'such people' you mean gay Trump voters, it fits.

    Oh, give up the stupid open borders crap. Even you can't be stupid enough to believe that lie.

    No. Only able bodied adults of working age (18 - 70) should be expected to earn their keep. And the reason for that is so we can actually afford full and proper care of the old, the sick, and the young. Just as has always been done in the animal and human kingdoms, since we were primordial ooze.

    Your refusal to acknowledge that feting able bodied adults actually costs the genuinely needy, is perverse. It's an utterly unsustainable and corrupt position.

    Are you also pretending that the First World 'poor' aren't also the fattest?

    Are you really not understanding what open borders means?
