so we NEED immigrants. Furthermore, their cheap labor drives down costs and benefits society. It carries over into other industries when people have more money to spend… Simply put, its all about supply and demand - and they wouldn’t be here if there was no demand for them.[/quote]
This sounds like a free-market arguement for open immigration. Unfortunately, there is no free market. What happens is that other tax-payers subsidize the cost of unskilled-illegal- labor for the benefit of some employer looking for the cheapest worker.
We pay their ER bills, we send their anchor babies to school, we pay the extra policing for all the crime inside (and pouring out of) their ghettos. When they get some idiot to grant them amnesty next time, we’ll be funding their subsidized health-care plan, too.
We pay all the social and financial costs for a population which, even generations later, still doesn’t achieve. A Demographic which by the way is quickly outreproducing the very people who carry the burden of funding the social costs. Now that, isn’t a very good combination.
I’d rather have a succesful shrinking population then see it replaced by a population that can’t keep a father in the home for even half of it’s families. Cause guess who pays that child support? We do. Just so some contractor can cut his costs. Hire some blacks.
Sure, you might have to pay more, but maybe some of them will actually be able to afford a damn home now that their blue collar work isn’t being handed off to interlopers who are willing to pack themselves into a single apartment like eggs in carton.
And maybe, just maybe, with steady, reliable, low-skilled work, within a generation or two, their descendents will be climbing to the next rung on the socio-economic ladder.[/quote]
ok thx for the reply, I don’t know much on the subject. Along those lines I read that immigrants and their children are a burden to the state, but if you span it over their lifetime they end up paying more in taxes and whatnot.
