these walking fossils use up a lot of resources in a system that's already over-stressed, and there's little rational justification for dumping people into the system that haven't paid into it. at all. literally. it's an utterly stupid policy decision.
decisions should be made on the ability of the applicant to contribute to the system they're walking into, and the idea that this isn't and shouldn't be and can't be a free pass into a free care system needs to be gotten across at every point of the way. applicants with more resources to contribute should be chosen ahead of those with less resources to contribute.
it's not fair to tell a tax paying citizen that spent their whole life working and paying into the system that they have to stand in line behind somebody that got here from columbia last week. that's a serious problem and it needs to be taken seriously.
