Cato Institute: Immigrants Are a Net Positive

[Frankenstein]

Sorry. Poor argument

Pick ANY group. Removing that group would save all the lives THEY have taken

Young white men for instance

A. The “worst arguments” are very commonly put out there and need rebuttal

B. Why cogent thought provoking arguments have you made?

I must have missed them in all the stupid noise caused by those “worst arguments”

If you're actually interested (you're not), go back and look. I'll be waiting.

If you're actually interested (you're not), go back and look. I'll be waiting.

I did. The only argument you presented that I don’t respond to was your assertion that our woefully inadequate immigration system should be followed.

I just did. It is woefully inadequate. It takes years and is hugely expensive

In no way would it provide the number of workers our system requires.

So it's okay for immigrants to break the law when entering?

You also didn't address my point about your misleading framing.

So it's okay for immigrants to break the law when entering?

So long as they're like to vote Democrat, yes.

The Remembrance Project

While the Remembrance Project claims to advocate on behalf of the families of victims of violence and tragedy, its founder Maria Espinoza grossly misrepresents the level of crime committed by immigrants, routinely demonizes immigrants as “invaders” and has a record of working with white...

To the tune of over 4.6 trillion dollars

With illegals net positive 1.7 trillion

And both the legal and illegal commit crimes at a far lower rate than citizens

Cato is NOT. “Far left” org

They are a conservative think tank

Want To Reduce The Debt And Lower The Crime Rate? Bring In Even More Immigrants.

Contrary to Trump's claims, immigrants, even illegal ones, use fewer services and commit fewer crimes than native-born Americans, according to Cato Institute studies.

I doubt it.

But the scales aren’t as lopsided as right wing loons pretend it is.

More bullshit

Illegals can’t vote in national elections

 

[Lesh]

So the ones who break the law coming over the border but don't break the law are just fine with you, even though they put a serious strain on social services across the nation, even in little ole Ohio?

For the second (third?) time

The “drain on social services” claim was dealt with in the OP that you refuse to read

 

[M14 Shooter]

More bullshit

If they were likely to vote Republican, you'd want to forty the border with infantry, armor, artillery and gunships.
Lie to me and tell me that's not true

Illegals can’t vote in national elections

Illegals can't vote - legally - in national elections - and -you- oppose taking steps to keep that from happening.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

People used to wonder how the German people devolved to the point as blithely accepting the mass murder of Jews and other "undesirables".

We now see in real time how it happens.


PHASE I:
MAGA: We're just going to deport the violent illegals. Murderers and rapists and such.

AMERICA: Okay, we're totally cool with that.



PHASE II:
MAGA: Just kidding. We're going to deport all the illegals, even the ones who pick the crops which put food on your table.

AMERICA: Hmmmm...


PHASE III:
MAGA: We are not stopping there. Sorry. We're also going to grab legal immigrant college kids off the street who use their free speech to speak out against the genocide in Gaza.

AMERICA: Not cool, man.



PHASE IV:
MAGA: Oh, yeah? Well, we're removing those who are here under protected status, too!

AMERICA: What the hell is going on here?


PHASE V:
MAGA: We're also going to violate the Constitution and revoke birthright citizenship.

AMERICA: Looks like its time for a nationwide record-setting No Kings protest.


PHASE VI:
SUPREME COURT: We are revoking the protection granted to our citizens since our Founding which protected them from abuses by the police.
TRUMP: Our police now have total immunity from prosecution.


PHASE VII:
MAGA: Vee vill also henzzzfort ban zee immigraztion of peoplez fr-r-r-rom zhitzhole countreez!

AMERICA: We disapprove in record numbers.


PHASE VIII:
MAGA: And now, we are going to remove the citizenship of people who piss us off with their words!


PHASE IX:
GESTAPO: Now we are brutalizing and murdering US citizens with total immunity!

PHASE I: Enter the country legally.

PHASE II: Enter the country illegally you will be deported according to our laws.

END OF PHASES.

Steps to keep something from happening that ISN’T happening…

Which WOULD keep legal voters from voting

RINO "think tank" say what?

It is breaking the law

Your favorite group is uncomfortably close to white nationalists

Sounds great.

Too bad that isn't what's happening, eh? What's happening is what I listed. Nice try.

Legal immigrants are being seized off the streets, American citizens are being murdered.

It's been in all the papers.

But perhaps you don't read and only watch your TV propagandists.

Cato sold their soul to the Chamber of Commerce and has become a pimp for corporate Murica and The State since the early 2000s.

They're not even "conservative" (whatever the hell that's supposed to mean anymore) let alone libertarian.

Of course they are
America wouldn't be America if it hadn't been for them. The greatest generation were the first descendents of immigrants. The rest is history.

 

[Oddball]

If Cato is not distinguishing between legal and illegal immigrants, then this study is worthless.

Legal immigrants are a net positive. Illegal immigrants are a net negative.

They're not doing so on purpose...That would rub their Chamber of Commerce paymasters wrong.
