But they would only have their life span shortened considerably if they emigrated earlier rather than later in life. The 70 year old from the Congo will have his life expectancy increased much less by coming to the US than would say an infant (who would enjoy a lifetime of preventative care).

Would it be safe to say that the introduction of govt programs such as unemployment insurance had an impact in quieting the calls for the US to abandon capitalism and take up socialism? In other words did these types of govt programs serve not only as safety nets for individuals in need but
