Immigrant Workers

The old chestnut of immigrant workers crops up again. Seems the majority of people admit the immigrants are doing a good job but then we have street corners full of indigenous unemployed on the dole. Lets face it, the word "benefits" is not fit for purpose, freebies or baksheesh is more suitable.

So the question must be asked. Why is our government paying out dole at such a level that the unemployed will not consider searching for work?

The government should remember it is your and my tax contributions that is funding these unemployed! I recall my father telling me of the situation in the 'thirties. People had more pride and would be too embarrassed to let it be known they were receiving dole also the level of dole payment was at a level that it was more beneficial to be employed.

So let's not blame the immigrants, they are just trying to improve their situation.

Let's put the blame on the government that shirks responsibility, encourages unemployment, is frightened of social reform and unforgivably mismanages our tax contributions and give back to the dole recipients a modicum of pride.
