Is letting 8,000,000 illegals into the US adding to inflation (Poll)

[alang1216]

Bullshit. If they are they are working illegally. Those employers need to be arrested and fined.

That is a political opinion, not an economic one.

 

[alang1216]

No kidding, what type of fields are in NYC and/or Chicago?

They're on the other end of the chain where immigrants stock shelves and run point-of-sale, keeping prices down.

 

[kyzr]

That is a political opinion, not an economic one.

If you had a landscaping business and your competitors were using illegal labor while you were paying a living wage with benefits, you'd look at it differently.

 

[Hollie]

I'm sure everyone has heard of the "Law of Supply and Demand". When demand goes up and supply is unchanged, prices rise.

This OP is suggesting that part of the inflation problem is that the Biden administration is letting in ~10,000 migrants a day.

Those 8,000,000 or so migrants need to eat, buy things, and use services that we pay for with our tax dollars.

When you go to the grocery store realize that you aren't just paying for your family's food, you are also paying for the migrant's food.

The "supply" of food is the same, but the "demand" is increasing every day that the border is open.

Inflation is falling slowly. But if the border isn't closed will inflation keep falling, or will it start rising?

Here is the current inflation rate. 3.1% compounded by the prior inflation rates. Is Biden's open border policy contributing to inflation?

Current US Inflation Rates: 2000-2024

The annual inflation rate for the United States was 3.5% for the 12 months ending March, compared to the previous rate of 3.2%, according to U.S. Labor Department data published on April 10, 2024. The next inflation update is scheduled for release on May 15 at 8:30 a.m. ET, providing information...

Illegals are a substantial burden to taxpayers.

SHOCKER: Welfare Enrollment by Immigrants Significantly Higher Than U.S.-Born

redstate.com

On Tuesday, the Center for Immigration Studies released an analysis of data compiled in the 2022 Survey of Income and Program Participation showing that immigrants make significantly higher use of welfare programs than the US-born. This should come as a surprise to no one.

We know it is adding to crime, big time.

We know it is adding to the Democrat filth's voter base and that will be disastrous for this country.

It is adding to the drug problem.

It is destroying America but the Moon Bats don't give a crap. Most of them won't even admit that Potatohead is allowing the little shits to flood across. They are always in denial about the tremendous damage the Democrats do to this country.

If you had a landscaping business and your competitors were using illegal labor while you were paying a living wage with benefits, you'd look at it differently.

Quite right but if I needed a landscaper I could save some money. An excellent example that shows how every economic action creates winners and losers.

 

[Moonglow]

Thank you for validating my concerns.
Every time anyone goes to the grocery store they realize that Bidenomics is a disaster.

So what happens if the House doesn't cut spending enough, the Debt keeps rising, and interest on the Debt causes the dollar to collapse?

Learn to grow yer own and be somewhat self-sufficient.

Do they use vaseline?

I live around Amish and Mennonites. If an EMP hit they wouldn't notice.

60% illegals are on WELFARE!!!!
Damn this obamabiden regime to hell.

Study: Nearly 3-in-5 Illegal Alien Households are On Taxpayer-Funded Welfare

Nearly 60 percent of households headed by illegal aliens use at least one major form of welfare, an analysis reveals.

You know damn well when they go for their driver's license the democrats behind the desk will register them to vote.

 

[boevans]

The number is way off, but letting any illegal in bad news.

 

[GLASNOST]

"Buy things"? You mean they are spending money?

Charity.

Whose?

Are immigrants eligible for state benefit programs?
In some states, yes.

That's what I was afraid of.

 

[Not That Guy]

Ever notice how the reported number of illegals in the USA never goes up? In 2005, it was reported that there were 25 million illegals in the US. Remember, they all protested in white T shirts across the country that year..

In 20 years, magically theres still only 25 million illegals here. I bet its closer to 80-100 million.

Well, let's see now:

1). All of the illegals in 2005 were eventually given legal status? (Amnesty)
2). All illegals after 2005 are given American citizenship as soon as they cross the border?
3). Immigration is now ordered not to report how many illegals enter the country? (falsifying the statics)

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

There is no “$5,000” credit card issued to illegals.

Trash this thread and try again

Maybe not but if think illegals aren't costing tax paying citizens a lot of money you are a blind moron.

Bullshit. If they are they are working illegally. Those employers need to be arrested and fined.

Deflection 101.

As a matter of FACT illegals work and get paid lower wages for basic manual jobs.

Thats a deflationary effect on economy, especially our current economy with full employment and quickly escalating labor costs.

Why do American corporations lobby for migrant workers? Because they like cheap labor.

P.S. Where the did you get 7 million number from? Seems bs.
