Thread: Amnesty opponents in Congress should commission a study

Why have no opponents to amnesty in Congress commissioned a formal fiscal study, such as with the OBM, to determine how enforcement of our current immigration laws, which would trigger mass attrition and self-deportation, could potentially lower unemployment, stimulate our economy (instead of Mexico's), and increase tax revenues? It seems that this would be the most effective defense.

I think it might already exist

It is obvious the Obama Admin. wants Amnesty no matter what citizens want.

The fair approach would be to let the whole country vote whether to give Amnesty or not.Washington would NEVER allow that since they would not like the outcome.

It has been made very clear they do not care what "We The People" want.

Their job is to do what is best for citizens so will just ONE politician tell me how Amnesty would benefit "We The People".

What you say is true carolinamtnwoman I too have thought about how our economy would drastically improve if the immagrants went away. It would be a miracle and a big step towards saving the american people. All of us we the people.

During the later Bush years there was an OMB report done on the net cost of illegal immigrants. Of course the pro amnesty politicians thought they would get numbers they liked. They did not. But the actual cost to the taxpayer was not released. They said it was too difficult to calculate, but that there was a substantial net cost. Political spin.

How about Congessman Bilbray of CA to ask for another study? I would like to know how much in unfunded entitlements for social security etc would result in 20 million illegal being given amnesty.

Thanks, dregerk! I sent Congressman King an email. We'll see if I get any type of response, especially since I am not one of his constituents.

Thanks, Bettybb! I will attempt to contact Congressman Bilbray.

The Heritage Foundation probably has some good data that can be used...
