Thread: Is illegal immigration good for the economy?

For years we've heard our detractors tell us what a boon illegal immigration is for our economy. And they whip out endless statistics and charts and graphs to back up their claims.

And yet, here's the facts: After 40 years of endless Mass Immigration -- both legal and illegal -- we now find our economy on the verge of collapse. As all the financial experts attest to.

Seems like our detractors have a faulty sense of the most basic cause-and-effect logic.

It was never good for us as a nation. All it's managed to do is send our jobs out and more poverty in while a selecte elite group benefit.

If it was good for our economy why isn't our standard of living going up? Instead we are now in a recession!!

Oh no, it's good for you if you're part of the old "Money Trust" families, like the Harrimans, Morgans and Rockefellers. Other than that you're screwed.

We all know the source of the problem!!! When you have cancer you cut the tumor out! We need to cut this tumor out of our country!!!!

Its been good for Mexico

Is illegal immigration good for the economy?

By the time Wall Street and the mainstream media get through with you, they will have convinced the sheeple that,

"We need the illegals to get out of this financial mess! Legalize them, put them on the tax rolls and tax them!"

That will be the EXCUSE to give them ALL AMNESTY!

Immigration is BAD for the economy. People are getting laid off BUT REPLACED by foreign people both legal and illegal who will work for less than a "living wage". Businesses are outsourcing, so jobs are scarce. We dont need immigrants to take jobs. AMERICANS NEED THE WORK.

And the whole ball of wax starts all over agin. Why, because industry needs people who will work for nothing!

Illegal immigration exacerbates the conflict of "citizens rights & responsibilities" vs "human rights & dignity". Responsible population growth in the USA is a key component of opportunity for all. If religious communities, the ACLU & the US chamber of commerce want to help illegals; perhaps they should spend more time & effort pushing their human rights agendas in Mexico & further south of the border.
