Fact Check: Biden Claims ‘Immigration Has Always Been Essential to America’

[Couchpotato]

The United States won World War II, created a middle-class economy, invented many new technologies, revived racial equality, and landed astronauts on the moon during the long period of low migration between 1925 and 1970.

After 100 plus years of the largest mass immigration in human history.

View attachment 485823

The soldiers who won that war, the workers who built that economy, the scientists who invented those technologies and put men on The Moon were all immigrants, or descendants so immigrants.

Unless your name is Running Bear (or something similar) you are an immigrant.

You could say that about anyone, everywhere on the planet. Even Running Bull or his descendants were at some point immigrants to North America.

Fact Check: Biden Claims 'Immigration Has Always Been Essential' (breitbart.com)
28 Apr 2021 ~~ By Neil Munro

CLAIM:
President Joe Biden said in his 2021 speech to Congress,
“Immigration has always been essential to America.”​

VERDICT: FALSE. The United States won World War II, created a middle-class economy, invented many new technologies, revived racial equality, and landed astronauts on the moon during the long period of low migration between 1925 and 1970.

From the 1840s onward, waves of European immigrants flooded into the emerging industrial economy, helping to fill factories providing a cornucopia of goods, including rivers of cheap autos from Detroit factories in the early 1900s.
But public pressure forced Congress to sharply reduce migration in 1924.
The number of new immigrants was 800,000 in 1921 — but it quickly dropped by more than 90 percent, to just 29,000 in 1934 and 39,000 in 1945.
The resident population of immigrant Americans dropped from 14 million in 1920 to 9.6 million in 1970.
In 1955, pro-migration groups began claiming the United States was a “Nation of Immigrants,” but immigrants were only 7 percent of the population in 1955, down from 15 percent in 1910.
New arrivals slowly rose amid the Cold War as Congress welcomed people fleeing communism. In 1957, for example, Hungarian migrants fleeting the Soviet takeover helped bump new arrivals to 327,000.
But U.S. inventions and productivity continued to boom during this low-migration period.

Comment;
Legal Immigration has helped America. Illegal Immigration destroys it. Progressive Marxist/DSA Democrat know that, yet they continue to push illegal immigration for power over the citizens of America.
There was a time, where America as a new nation had vast unpopulated areas to populate, a voracious need for unskilled and semi-skilled labor in industry, and even a need for cannon fodder (during the Civil War).
None of that applies now.
America no longer has a need for legal immigrants. Meanwhile, Illegal immigration is a great threat to national security and we
Legal immigration exists to serve the Republic and its Citizens, not the immigrant.
The only immigrants that should be allowed in the US are ones who Legally come, bring some sort of capital with them: money, patents, talent, or advanced training and education. No legal immigrant is allowed into the US if they cannot support themselves or will displace an American from his job.
Illegal immigration is the antithesis and usurper of American Constitutional Law.

Right wingers only have a problem with refugees as the less fortunate under our form of Capitalism. Why not abolish your useless, right wing foreign wars on crime, drugs, and terror which only create more refugees.

The Real Illegal Immigration Crisis Isn’t on the Southern Border

Focusing on asylum seekers who cross land borders ignores the real problem: people who overstay their visas.

My family has been here eight generations. We have no ties to any other country. We are not immigrants.

As you know, Running Bear's ancestors also came from somewhere else, yet they are called native Americans.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

The Racist and Corrupt Democrat Party has a problem.
They have alienated White Voters.
Therefore they must replace them with uneducated third world welfare moochers.
Therefore we must have open borders and no immigration laws.

 

[Flash]

Joe Dufus wants to open the border and let every Central American welfare queens flood into the US so they can do the job that real Americans don't want to do; vote Democrat.

Wefare queens tend to vote for the party that keeps the welfare check coming. That is how California got so fucked up.

I think the cut-off is about 30,000 years. Australia calls it's original inhabitants Aboriginals despite the fact they most likely orginated from Africa.

If the whatever it is, 8-9-10 million illegal workers left today, where would the markets be today? If not for the migrant workers every year where would the markets be today?

If we removed 10-15 million consumers tomorrow where would the markets be? What would we do if we had to step up and pay all these people a legal wage? Could we even do that?

lol another rubbish argument. We need less strain on our social networks, not 50 times more; all they do is create inflation and an artificially higher costs. housing, social services, food,etc., working class Americans rely on for survival, and destroy their wages to boot, if they can get hired at all any more in the traditional jobs the working poor used to rely on to advance or help their children advance to upper lower class or even middle class status. That's why latino activists like Cesar Chavez and others in the 1950's and 1960's so adamantly opposed the criminal illegal immigration encouraged by corporate farms and construction companies and warehouses. You morons think everybody is going to go to 'college n stuff', never mind how far they have to dumb 'college' down, rendering it useless as a measure of education for everybody.

Destroy wages and cause inflation.............OK. Don't expect me to take your rant seriously.

Like I give a fuck about some commie's opinions; you don't know squat about economics in the first place, or our history either.

If it is commie why do the workers not control the means of production?

Commies always lie about that, like you do.

The colleges which do much of the research in the US for the products and medicines you enjoy?

The number of researchers is miniscule; most 'college' students are dumbass seat warmers socially promoted through grade school and just pretend to be 'college students' because there aren't any decent paying jobs. Seems Obama not only didn't build any low income housing, he also didn't generate anything but more do nothing AA jobs in govt. agencies for your racist black buddies. Also currently over 50% of Ph.D, science theses are found to be using fake data these days, and it's especially bad in the faggot friendly 'social sciences', and their long proud history of peddling fake science since the 1950's.

No, my family came over before there were closed borders. Inn other words before the era of the Civil War....They were immigrants. The ones who provided sons and daughters to help fight the wars in the US. Half of them were those vile Irish people hated.

[StormAl]

Interesting OP. The answer is 'yes', of course, and the determinant is what is 'essential'? To culture, to the economy, to politics, to . . .?

And the OP does not really talk about illegal immigrants or the immigrant work force here on visas.

So the right answer is probably 'yes, but not as much as 1865' when 1/2 of population was immigrant and in NYC alone about 2/3ds.

They were opportunist and did both. The German side of the family refused to pick a side.

 

[Blues Man]

Immigration had a purpose when we had a huge empty country to fill and actually needed laborers of all types but at this point we need to be more selective and actually have requirements like people with needed skills .

 

[Turtlesoup]

Immigration should be used to acquire people with certain skills that we need. We don't need unskilled, illiterate, diseased, criminal liabilities. That's what Biden is allowing in the current border crisis he caused.

Big differences between immigrants of old that Contributed to the economies and societies than new ones who are here for welfare screaming that we owe them as they have a bunch of anchor brats who are prison and welfare bound for generations.

Even this said, times have changed..............we no longer need as many immigrants for manual labor as invention will create less and less of a need for workers.

time to end most immigration--we should only take immigrants that are good for the US as a whole---
