No, Inaction.
This website introduced me to term “The Cobra Effect”:
The cobra effect is a classic example of a perverse incentive. From Wikipedia:
The term cobra effect was coined by economist Horst Siebert based on a spectacular policy failure in India during British rule. The British government, concerned about the number of venomous cobras in Delhi, offered a bounty for every dead cobra. Initially, this was a successful strategy; large numbers of snakes were killed for the reward. Eventually, however, enterprising people began to breed cobras for the income. When the government became aware of this, the reward program was scrapped. When cobra breeders set their now-worthless snakes free, the wild cobra population further increased.
Perverse incentives happen often in politics, economics, and public health (see examples here).
Rewarding illegal immigration is another example of this.
Look at the Crazy List of Things Illegal Immigrants Get for ‘FREE’ in Liberal Massachusetts
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/ | 3/25/2024 | Mike LachanceLiberal Massachusetts is overrun with illegal border crossers and there’s really no wonder why when you see the laundry list of things that are provided for ‘free’ courtesy of taxpayers in the Bay State.
All of these perks just act as incentives, driving more illegals into the state.
And remember, there are American citizens in Massachusetts who are poor and don’t get nearly as much from the state.
Longtime Boston talk host Howie Carr posted this list on his website:
FREEBIES FOR ILLEGALS: A Comprehensive List

Special diet for Ramadan.
Free same-day dry cleaning w/free pick up & delivery.
Free housekeeping twice a week.

Everyone got new free winter coat, gloves and shoes.
Free toiletries (tooth paste, deodorant, special “ethnic” shampoos, skin cream, aspirin, tooth brushes, feminine products).
“FOR THE CHILDREN”:
Free diapers, wipes, diaper pails, cribs, bassinets, playpens, baby bottles, baby formulas, free car seats, free new mother bags, playrooms for young illegals w/free toys & books which must be replaced often because of destruction.
That is only about half of the list, if you can believe it.
That’s why I’m moving out.
Even worse, they breed faster than the cobras.
Yeah, but they dance way better.
If Trump is prevented from getting into power, the elites will continue this until….
One day..and it all ends..done..and then they will sit back and watch the anarchy..perhaps even encourage it like the BLM riots..
Then being robbed of cash will be the norm…so we will all need digital identification and become a cashless society that allows them to make us all behave within acceptable limits..or else..that will stop the gall darn invaders…that they created…
