Clinton: Immigrants keep U.S. 'younger and fresher'

Hillary Clinton argued Tuesday that Donald Trump's plan to kick out 11 million illegal immigrants would devastate the U.S. economy, and actually make it harder for the U.S. to compete with others.

"The youth and diversity of our workforce is one of our greatest assets. Most of the rest of the world that we compete with is aging," she said in an economic speech in Columbus, Ohio.

"So by staying, you know, younger and fresher with talents that can be put to work, we're actually going to be in a stronger economic position in the next decades," she added.

Clinton said Trump's plan to deport 11 million immigrants would mostly affect working people, or children going to school.

Yet another lie. The current immigrant crop is here for taxpayer supported benefits and to provide an endless supply of Democratic voters.

I wonder if the Republican elites have entered into a bargain with the Democratic elites along the lines we give you votes, you give us some safe seats and our supporters their cheap labor?

The idea that our economy needs mass immigration is one of the biggest lies of the open borders lobby. If this were true, we would have a near-zero unemployment rate. The fact that even the official unemployment rate is around 5-6% means that at a minimum we have 5-6% of the workforce looking for jobs and unable to find them (and that isn't counting the underemployed). Most of these unemployed are unskilled or semi-skilled workers who compete directly with illegals and legal migrant workers for jobs.

So much for "doing the work Americans won't do" and the mythical labor shortage.

Yes, importing the poorest, least educated and lowest skilled people from other countries and then allowing them to never assimilate has been a proven winner of a strategy in revitalizing a society.

Someone should ask Hillary and all other open borders enthusiasts in Washington how they reconcile their claims of Third World immigration revitalizing the American economy and society with the fact that most of the poorest zip codes in America are in the cities and towns of our southern border.
