Give them job training? Create jobs for them? Give them free housing? Sounds exactly like socialism to me, Bill. Aren't people like this supposed to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps? That's what capitalism says. How come I constantly see ads on tv saying that you should join the military because you will learn a job and become a far better person? Aren't there laws about truth in advertising? They should show the 195,000 homeless vets. So, what are you going to do for them, Bill? Give them job training? Create jobs for them?

Interesting that those immigrants being tested for US Citizenship know more about the US History and current events then the American reporters.
