    It's not just illegal immigration that's the problem. It's immigration in general

    July 26, 2016
    By Cliff Spectre

    A lot of big government and big business supporters say we have to take in more immigrants for various reasons including the economic benefits they bring. Let's look at immigration and jobs for the last few years and see what the numbers look like.

    First, a nation-state has a sovereign right to allow in immigrants as it sees fit and for the purpose of benefiting the host country, not primarily for the benefit of the immigrants.

    According to the Migration Policy Institute, in 1990, the immigrant population of the United States was 19.8 million or 7.9 percent of the population. By 2014 it had risen to 42.4 million or 13.3 percent. This chart from the Center for Immigration Studies illustrates the magnitude of the surge, with a historical comparison starting in 1900.

    Meanwhile, from 1990 to 2014, the U.S. economy created a little over 31 million new jobs per the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

    By extrapolating from the Migration Policy Institute's numbers, we see that from 1990 to 2014, U.S. population growth increased over 68 million people, split between over 45 million citizens and over 22 million immigrants. Therefore, 31 million new jobs were produced for 68 million new residents.

    In the United States today, there are over 90 million people out of the labor force, who have given up looking for jobs.

    The United States has added more people than jobs in the last 25 years. Part of the reason for that is the extremely high immigration numbers. If the immigration numbers were reduced, it would provide more opportunity for people who already live in America to work and produce.

    Why wouldn't immigration be reduced by the federal government so as to allow the people already here, preferably citizens, to fill the jobs? The U.S. Chamber of Commerce supports higher immigration and politicians who support higher immigration. That is presumably because many of the Chamber's influential members can make more money hiring immigrants who will work for less than Americans. Disney, as an example, has been accused of this.

    That may be partly why some Republicans support higher immigration. For them, it's follow the money. The Democratic Party likely supports increased immigration also because the majority of immigrants who become citizens will become Democrats. For them, it's follow the power. Notice the percentage comparison between 1980 and 2012 of party registration changes in Table 4 of this article. Immigrants who become citizens overwhelmingly vote Democrat.

    Republicans should call for lower immigration to stop the Democrat voter recruitment. But more importantly, all Americans should call for lower immigration in order to offer a better opportunity of finding jobs for those millions of their fellow Americans of all political persuasions who would like to work.

    Even if a new administration faithfully enforces border security, the number of immigrants coming in will need to be drastically reduced. That is one obvious way to provide jobs for Americans who currently can't find work. Our elected representatives should be made aware of these facts.

    YES!! YES!! YES!! It is NOT just illegal immigration, it's all immigration in massive excessive numbers, far far more than our country can absorb and sustain successfully.

    Many Republicans ARE calling for a 10 to 20 Year Moratorium on All Immigration. I'm one of them.

    Congress has lots its mind issuing 1.3 million green cards a year plus hundreds of thousands of visas of so many types we can't even count them all PLUS millions of illegal aliens pouring in every year. Our population is bloated, much larger than our economy and society can handle successfully.

    AND, since during Democratic Presidential Terms, illegal aliens and immigrants are treated as a special class with more rights and privileges than American Citizens, our citizens are left out in the cold with nothing but a stone to make their soup with.

    WAKE UP AMERICANS! We're being sold down the river by the very Democratic Party that sustained slavery and Republicans had to fight a Civil War to end. Even then, they wouldn't let go of their greed, and did everything possible to keep freed slaves down to force them back into slave work to survive for over a century.

    TRUMP will end this immigration nightmare. TRUMP will end this free trade treason disaster. TRUMP will fix our country and do so in ways that will make our nation strong, healthy, wealthy and sovereign that benefits ALL AMERICANS.

    It needs to stop and end now. We have to think of our future, population growth, drought, fires, earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes, floods that happen all over our Country. We need to conserve our own resources!

    We need QUALITY...not quantity! We need to rebuild our own infrastructure and stop building other countries and giving them OUR money. We build in the Middle East and they blow it back up again. Get the hell out of there! Our water and sewer systems need to be updated and replaced. Our schools are falling apart and are overcrowded!

    We need to clean up our inner cities, bring back jobs, fix the roads, housing, bridges so they have a better quality of life and a JOB. And they need to be put to work and do it themselves or NO welfare! Not dump millions and millions of more people on a lifetime of breeding and welfare.

    These other countries need to be held accountable for their own citizens and building their own nation! Not at the cost of US taxpayers! They need to be given a "Comprehensive Plan for Reform" including population control...or no more help! No more oatmeal. Why are we feeding these people for decades, who are no better off, who continue to have several kids! Disgusting thing to bring a child into the world living in the dirt...we should not be paying for their SEX! Give them birth control.


    We need to pay down the massive 19 trillion in debt or we are screwed!

    AMERICAN'S FIRST!
