Ann Coulter: Surprise! That 'cheap' immigrant labor costs us a lot

[wamose]

So we have 11 million illegal aliens (probably double that in reality) that cost the taxpayer $15,000 each. That's 240 billion, Qdog. That's a lot of clams that very few taxpayers would agree to pay.

Okay, so if they cost us 240 Billion in costs, and generate 500 billion in economic activity, that's kind of a wash, isn't it?

That's not how it works. They cost us $15,000 each, period, and that takes into account any perceived benefits they produce. Illegals depress wages, raise our taxes, lower our quality of life and stress our hospitals, schools, jails and infrastructure. There is no benefit to America other than to the actual slavekeepers. Illegal aliens pervert the market economy.

Quite the contrary, we all benefit from illegal labor...that's why it continues.

We all enjoy wearing cheap clothing, we all enjoy eating cheap lettuce, we all enjoy being in clean public and private facilities.

They do the shitty jobs we don't want to do, but do need to get done.

Now, you would solve this probably fairly easily. Do what the Europeans do, have "Guest Worker" programs to let these people legally come in to do these shitty jobs. They work here a few years, make decent money, go home.

Immigrants were subject to physical and mental exams to ensure they were fit for admittance to the United States.
Upon arrival at Ellis Island, immigrants were ushered into a room called the Great Hall and paraded before a series of medical officers for physical inspection. Most were allowed to pass by in a matter of seconds, but those whom the doctors deemed physically or mentally deficient were marked with chalk and taken away for additional screening. Questionable candidates were forced to submit to more detailed questioning and medical exams, and any signs of contagious disease, poor physique, feeblemindedness or insanity could see an immigrant denied admittance on the grounds that they were likely to become a ward of the state. In later years, doctors at Ellis Island even devised puzzles and memory tests to ensure that certain immigrants were intelligent enough to find work. New arrivals could also face rejection if they were anarchists, had a criminal record or showed signs of low moral character. Despite the litany of guidelines for new immigrants, the number of people denied entry at Ellis Island was quite low. Of the 12 million people who passed through its doors between 1892 and 1954, only around 2 percent were deemed unfit to become citizens of the United States.

There is no better example of the Republican Party's rot than stories like this. I urge people to blast these sell-outs (and the rest of Congress) with phone calls.

I think you are a little deluded about who the GOP works for. The GOP doesn't work for dumb white trash like you. They work for the big corporations. And Big Corporations have said, "We want cheap technical workers from India because they are harder working, smarter and better at math than White Americans."

Problematic is when the porosity of borders is controlled for the purposes of U.S. capitalism, which chooses non-American labor over American labor, rather than expose its more pathological, profoundly illiterate face. Writing's not its thing, either, and we see nothing of capitalism's argument for intensified education trajectories for American citizens. duh. It's 7-11 easier for capitalism to import betrayals of the American workforce than do something more mundane than shifting resources to work with locals. After all, American prisoners have gotten quite used to foreign-language discourse in elevators, even though we know there were 300 languages in place in North America when White Eyes Predator came, a language system that had already evolved to take care of the boundary problem. As an American, try living the scenario whereby you are asked for an ID by a hijab-wearing female in a library situation (capital of Wisconsin). What a delirious, promiscuous whore democracy can be.

Ann Coulter: Surprise! That 'cheap' immigrant labor costs us a lot

In 2010, households headed by illegal immigrants received $14,387 more in government services than they paid in taxes.

our new country's gonna be great!

I'm dating this girl from Belarus. Her sister and her husband and 2 kids just immigrated here. They didn't tell immigration they were going to divorce as soon as they got here. They had to show they had something like $15,000 before they could come but neither of them speak english. The man should be ok because he's a truck driver but the woman is a nail tech who can't speak english so how long until she can pass the test to get her drivers license and nail tech certificate?

So my girl told me as soon as she gets her social security card she's going to apply for food stamps.

This is happening on Trump's watch. Don't blame liberals. Why are we importing these people?

Now they may have come as visitors and are just going to stay illegally. Who knows what the truth is. But no wall is keeping them out.

Is this chain migration? The fact that they have family here in the USA had to help them.
