Yes, absolutely yes! It would be awesome. We have become government reliant and forgotten who supplies all of our needs.
There is another twist to this story however. This is probably an isolated incidence, but I know people who live in Mexico, they have beautiful houses. They come to America, work, use free benefits and send their money home.
Some people will force their way in, use up our resources and send it home.....and then we do need to protect ourselves and our resources....
Yes, and that totally sucks! One should only take when in need. But, I think that your point leads to one other reason for the borders and barriers between countries!
