Welcome Newcomers!

This is the never ending story and it will happen over and over again, because this country is attractive, not necessarily to the ones that want to get through the front door, to work and prosper in a land with abundant opportunities, but to the ones that after all the goodies our society of plenty has to offer; free medical attention, free residence, free care, free… everything.
