Show where immigration (legal or otherwise) is adding to our national debt.
Are you hilariously claiming that illegals are not costing the taxpayers tens, or hundreds of billions, each year?
Economists Gianmarco Ottaviano and Giovanni Peri found that, between 1990 and 2004, immigration boosted the wages of most native-born workers
This study is a sham, and no sane human accepted it then or now. Whole fucking industries have been destroyed, and anyone who studied economics or finance for over 10 minutes knows that by dumping massive amounts of labor into an economy the wages will fall, as they did in construction, hotel service, restaurants, etc. There is a reason why EVERY other country on earth tries far harder than the US to limit legal immigration, and eliminate illegal immigration.
a recent study by Heidi Schierholz of the liberal Economic Policy Institute found that, between 1994 and 2007, immigration had a “small but positive” impact on the relative wages of Americans at all educational levels.
What asshole in the national democratic party / corporate scumbag paid for these nonsensical "studies"? Funny how far left trash extols these studies, but more legitimate ones like those by CIS or FAIR are attacked.
Actually, the workers who are really hurt by new immigrants are earlier immigrants, since they do compete in the same job markets. In addition to the complementarity argument, there’s the simple fact that employed immigrants are themselves consumers of goods and services, and therefore help drive economic activity.
Ugh, the short-sighted idiocies and false narratives of the left to justify the illegal invasion are beyond tiresome - and were destroyed long ago. #1-the children of the illegals and the healthcare of the whole illegal family are costing an astronomical amount of money. Second, the children of the illegals go to college and will compete with the children of the native middle class already here. Third, claiming they use goods and services contradicts your claims about pricing, since more buyers of such items drives the prices higher, if you have any clue about economics.
And when it comes to immigration reform, a policy of amnesty would make it even less likely that immigrants would drive down wages, since undocumented workers are much easier for employers to push around, find it difficult (if not impossible) to unionize, and are more likely to accept below-market wages.
The illegals SHOULD NOT EVEN BE IN THE COUNTRY, PERIOD. I am not looking to do ANYTHING that will make it more attractive or appealing for them to remain. Once they are gone, employers will need to either raise wages, automate, or close shop altogether to survive - just like they did for the 400 years of Western culture and civilization before 1965 when the illegal alien floodgates opened.
