@24AheadDotCom They are ALREADY screwing Americans. The number of Americans being screwed will not change.

@24AheadDotCom It will make no difference except to make them LESS likely to need welfare.

.@VictorB123 @24AheadDotCom You don't think amnesty will encourage more illegal immigration?
Glaivester's avatar
From @Glaivester
.@VictorB123 @24AheadDotCom You don't realize most "reform" packages include vast increases in legal immigration?
Crosspatch's avatar
From @VictorB123
@Glaivester No. At least not right now. Migration right now is a net zero. Mexico has less than 5% unemployment and @24AheadDotCom
Crosspatch's avatar
From @VictorB123
@Glaivester better economic growth than the US has. Why would someone want to come to a place with MORE unemployment? @24AheadDotCom

@Glaivester With birth rates as low as they are and with the boomers retiring, we are going to HAVE to get more people @24AheadDotCom

@Glaivester into the system paying taxes somehow. We can not support the baby boom on social security right now. @24AheadDotCom
Crosspatch's avatar
From @VictorB123
@Glaivester We are going to have to do one of three things: 1. Increase birth rates, 2: more immigration 3: kill old people @24AheadDotCom
Crosspatch's avatar
From @VictorB123
@Glaivester Increasing birth rates is probably not viable because Democrats are ruining our education system. @24AheadDotCom

.@VictorB123 @24AheadDotCom Migration has increased since Senate amnesty bill: http://t.co/eGirmc5XPp
Crosspatch's avatar
From @VictorB123
@Glaivester But at the same time OUT migration has also increased. Still net zero migration. @24AheadDotCom
Glaivester's avatar
From @Glaivester
.@VictorB123 @24AheadDotCom That assumes immigrants are paying more into system than they take.

@Glaivester California farms are losing their Mexican workers. Currently a huge worker shortage in the central valley. @24AheadDotCom
Crosspatch's avatar
From @VictorB123
@Glaivester They are going home. Better jobs for them in Mexico. Construction is booming, so is manufacturing. @24AheadDotCom

.@VictorB123 @24AheadDotCom Bringing in more non-English speakers and people who on average have lower IQs will help the education system?

@Glaivester Mexico has a 4.5% unemployment rate. They aren't in a hurry to leave. @24AheadDotCom

.@VictorB123 @24AheadDotCom Presumably, when these immigrants get old enough for Social Security, they will decline to collect it?

@Glaivester Everyone is basing their opinions on a 10 year old situation. Situation is different today. @24AheadDotCom
Crosspatch's avatar
From @VictorB123
@Glaivester Nope. The Americans don't want the jobs at any wage. Don't want to do manual labor. @24AheadDotCom

@Glaivester When I was a kid, there would be local white kids alongside the Mexicans in the fields picking. Not anymore. @24AheadDotCom

From @Glaivester
.@VictorB123 @24AheadDotCom Yes, number of Americans without jobs is much, much higher.

.@VictorB123 @24AheadDotCom "Won't do jobs at any wage." Nice way to avoid even trying higher wages as incentive.

@Glaivester Majority of illegals around me come from India and China. Arrive on legitimate visas and just don't leave @24AheadDotCom

@johnmarzan @Glaivester @24AheadDotCom Show me the data that says that. I PERSONALLY KNOW people who have retired there.

From @Glaivester
.@VictorB123 @24AheadDotCom Their old jobs opening up creates a pull for more illegals who previously would not have migrated. (2/2)

From @Glaivester
.@VictorB123 @24AheadDotCom So? (1) I never said Mexico was our only problem. (2) We want visa enforcement, not just border enforcement.
