I'm sure to get slammed for this comment, but once again I am speaking from firsthand knowledge. I have some relatives who live on the reservation and they receive free housing and a new pickup truck every year like clockwork. There is absolutely no incentive to take care of anything because it is replenished every year. They shoot their windows out and put cardboard over them until the government replaces them. Most of my relatives will not return to the reservation because it is considered to be lazy and 'good for nothing' to live there instead of 'working for a living.' There is very little cultural practice there these days. Elders still work at teaching the young the original practices and beliefs but it is mostly just small groups attending weekly classes and not actually practiced. Some still are but it is the minority - like the wild rice harvesting in northern Wisconsin. The rest of the world seems to think they should be given more restitution though. I won't even visit anymore and I'll never take my daughter there.


>>You'd think it would be easier for Canada to get a handle on it than the U.S. since we don't have a 3rd world country on our border, but for some reason, Canada seems to be really bad at figuring out how to handle illegals. Far too often they seem to be allowed to simply jump the queue. It's funny when you think about it. many of the same people who argue against allowing the wealthy to jump the health queue are the same ones arguing that, "oh, well, as long as they're here already, why not just get them to fill out the apps and fast track them. Gotta make the those with legal applications waiting for a year or more feel good. For the record, I am opposed to both practices.

>We've started telling all the illegals that Canada is the true "land of milk and honey". Illegals are given a house and dooley pickup truck when they first arrive in Canada, and everyone already knows the healthcare is free!
