Boy, did you ever blow it on this >>
"These people are still spending money on food rent and bills. Money that goes back into the economy." This misperception is the result of ingesting liberal media, and not perusing the conservative ones. Actually, what is happening is a big LOSS for the US economy, due to the following >>
1.
"These people" (low wage foreigners) spend far LESS than Americans would if they were holding the jobs that "These people " hold. Instead of going into the US economy (US stores) it is wired out of the country in remittances ($123 Billion/year. This is extracted OUT OF the US economy, and reinserted into the economies of their home countries (Mexico top burglar)
2. In addition to the remittances, since the low wage foreigners (legal & illegal) earn far less wages, than Americans would in their place, they cannot spend as much as the Americans would (even if they sent no remittances), and they don't spend much.
3. It is common for low wage foreigners to team up into groups (Example - as many as 15 in a single apartment). In this common example, this deprives 14 landlords of rents they would have gotten if Americans held those jobs and rented apartments normally. (15 workers - 15 apartments)
4. Why are you not sure where I'm getting that number from when I gave you a link to SHOW YOU where it's from > the Pew Research Center (Read Baby! Read!) >>
Remittance Flows Worldwide in 2012
And you don't seem to know what I'm talking abiout with regard to remittances. You gave a World Bank figure of 6.9 Billion. There's just one problem there, genius.
That is referring to remittance RECEIVED by the US. The $123 Billion is remittances LOST from the US economy (money foreigners working here
send out of the US.) Get it ?
5. NO, non-corporate welfare does not maintain jobs and livelihoods of thousands of workers. The non-corporate welfare recipient don't own businesses and hire hundreds of thousands of people. They're lucky if they have a roof over their head. Man do you ever talk ridiculous. Sheeesh!
6. I don't know if you have a clue about the comparison of US remittance $$ lost, and billions (you claim) companies hold up in non-tax foreign banks and holdings, but I certain don't advocate companies tax cheating with non-tax foreign banks and holdings, and Donald Trump has proposed to put a stop to that.
7..If you stopped immigration all together with your population growth, your country's economy would certainly go
UP. (removing the LO$$ of remittances & welfare drain)
Your post # 950 was wrong on everything you said. Strike 1, 2 & 3 and then Strike 1.2 & 3 ll over again.
As George H. Bush would say "BAD! BAD!"
