Anyone under 50 and they should all get jobs on the governments dime? You will have 3 billion people knocking on Canada's doorstep.
So you think that free immigration, and increased government spending would work? Wow I can also see why at least some drugs would be legalized in your world, as the taxpayers would royally be taking it up the ass there.

Fearmongering.
Before admiting 10 new countries into the EU this year, there was widespread fear in western European countries that Eastern Europeans would flood their countries.
Didn`t happen.
10 countries joined the EU in may. 80 million of people. Since then, in the UK, 8172 people registered as job seekers. Wow what a flood.
Polish administration estimates 15 thousand Poles tried to look for a job abroad. Since then, 8 thousand came back. (Source is a non-english newspaper so no link but I`m sure you can find english source easily).
Very few people above 40 would even consider to leave their country (with the exception of war torn countries of course) because of family ties, language difficulties and thousands of other reasons.
