Obama Claims Adding 11 Million Low-Skilled Workers Will Strengthen the Middle Class

They’re not contributing members. They take away jobs from Americans, leech off the social benefits system and commit a number of crimes besides the whole “illegal entry” deal. Jails tend to be full of illegal aliens for a reason.

"Every day, like the rest of us, they go out and try to earn a living. Often they do that in a shadow economy — a place where employers may offer them less than the minimum wage or make them work overtime without extra pay. And when that happens, it’s not just bad for them, it’s bad for the entire economy. Because all the businesses that are trying to do the right thing — that are hiring people legally, paying a decent wage, following the rules — they’re the ones who suffer. They’ve got to compete against companies that are breaking the rules. And the wages and working conditions of American workers are threatened, too.

So if we’re truly committed to strengthening our middle class and providing more ladders of opportunity to those who are willing to work hard to make it into the middle class, we’ve got to fix the system."

Obama’s solution to employers hiring people under the table for low wages is to legalize 11 million illegal aliens. Which will open up positions for more illegals to come and work under the table, while the newly legal illegal aliens end up eventually going on unemployment once they get their green cards because there’s no work for them. And then we’ll legalize the new illegal aliens because etc…

How does dumping 11 million aliens into the economy, on the social system and into the job markets strengthen the middle class?

First off, the 11 million number is a big lie. It will be more like 25 million OR more. The system can NOT sustain that. Some of the reasons for doing this go all the way back to the Israelites who were clamoring for a king:

1. Taxation - All the newly-minted citizens WILL pay a boatload of taxes.

2. Soldiers for war - God told them a king would take their sons for war.

3. Votes - The politicians are salivating at the prospect of additional votes. Mexicans vote Democrat. Period.

Also the scripture says: Deuteronomy 17:15 you shall surely set a king over you whom the Lord your God chooses, one from among your countrymen you shall set as king over yourselves; you may not put a foreigner over yourselves who is not your countryman.

To put this in the right prospective....when you move the eleven million to legit status as citizens...their employers will quickly dump them because the guy will expect real wages, real social security payment, etc. So the new citizen will end up at lower-end job....with no health care....because almost all will be in 30-hour or less situations (the new trick by employers to avoid the healthcare mess).

Meanwhile, the old employers...seeking really cheap labor....will entice a replacement squad of eleven million within three years to move into the US and set up residence for the under-the-table jobs.

Frankly, I’d stop all this immigration effort, and aim strictly at the employers...American citizens....and start bringing them into court. They deserve months in jail for continuing this whole practice and violating all the various laws already in existence. If they were truly fearful of court or jail, they wouldn’t be hiring the illegals.

It doesn’t strengthen the middle class; all it does is create friction and chaos - the very things for which BHO2 lives.

He is the King of chaos, the bringer of flies.

Obama is puposefully destroying America. Of those 11 million about 48% of them receive means tested welfare
fronm the States in whioch they are located. They are here to work or simply get the dole, and have no interest in becomeing “Americans” in the sense of patriotism. They are here as a part of Obama’s reconquista demographic warfare
against America.

No surprise. We were warned:

Then we know it will destroy the middle class. hussein has done nothing but lie to us to get what he wants - power and control. He wants eleven million new (?) democrat voters. He has lied to us about lobbyists, gitmo, balancing the budget, second amendment rights, obamacare, compromise with the gop. You can search and find exhaustive lists of his lies, they are literally far too numerous to list here. Their common theme - not only are they promises or statements that he later goes back on, they are obviously untrue when he says them and or it becomes obvious later that he knew they were untrue when he spewed them out. If i lied at work - any, I’d be fired, period.

The Utopian idea that adding this fictitious 12 million people to the taxpaying rolls is pure nonsense.

According to the Center for Immigration studies, up to 75 percent of illegal aliens pay Social Security and Medicare payments from their paychecks even though they are not legally entitled to a Social Security Account.

http://cis.org/mortensen/rewarding-illegal-alien-identity-thieves-sacrificing-innocent-american-children

In other words, they all don't hang out at gas stations, Home Depot, etc. looking for a cash paying job on a daily basis. They make up, steal, reproduce SS numbers and work in chicken plants, rug plants, rendering plants, where ever a manufacturer is willing to not ask too many questions about that Social Security card for William Smith they present. So, the illegals get the SS and medicare assessments taken off their check and they claim 8 or 9 dependents on their W-4 and have virtually NO federal or state taxes withheld.

The Social Security Administration has been quietly ignoring this because the payments into their system are a benefit with no heretofore outlays for them. This will change when/if they are legalized. If anyone believes that the SSA does not know exactly how many fraudulent SS numbers are in use and how many are duplicates, they believe in the Easter Bunny, too. They KNOW EXACTLY! It is too simple of a programming task not to. In fact, there are likely multiple tracking accounts for duplicated numbers so that the SSA doesn't have to pay out a maximum retirement payment for the poor sucker whose number was stolen. They are COMPLICIT and CORRUPT.

Alas, this will change when Obama gets his voters. The 12 million suddenly becomes 50 million, and they are all new projected SSA benefit recipients! Add to that the millions of sponsored influx of parents, uncles, aunts and cousins, and you have complete financial disaster....

But Obama won't care - he wants that, in addition to those new Democrat voters.

Obama, be honest for once. You're only interested in adding eleven million more low information voters to the Democrat Party.

May I suggest another moniker for our fearless leader as turd may be offensive. Might I suggest President Erkel. This was Glenn Beck’s name for “that guy”.

Sorry, I just had to correct that. And if you believe only 11,000,000 criminal aliens have invaded our country...

As always the issue is controlling entry.

Without a controlled border and controlled visas, the whole exercise is ignorant. Sen. Rubio pointed out the other day that 40% of illegal entry is those on different kinds of visas just not going home. A controlled border wouldn’t prevent that.

So, we also need a visa tracking system.

The best border control is with a fence. Along rivers and other natural boundaries where that might be impossible, the fence needs to farther back on American territory while justly compensating any displaced landowners (true eminent domain).

Tracking visas would be useless also. So somoene overstays, you have to get a hold of them to deport them.

I think the answer may be how the Saudis and Kuawitis do it. You can come in illegally but you can’t do anything. In those countries you can’t own a cell phone or have a business unless you have a green card(their version) The cops there have no qualms about asking for your papers.

Mess around and break their rules and you are on the next flight out.

If we make it difficult for them to earn a living here they will leave on their own.

Obama USDA met 30 times with Mexican gov’t to promote food-stamp use among Mexican immigrants

http://dailycaller.com/2012/10/01/obama-usda-met-30-times-with-mexican-govt-to-promote-food-stamp-use-among-mexican-immigrants/

That’s more than Obama has met with his own intelligence officials in the last few years.

But hey, keep working and clipping coupons- millions of anchor babies depend on you.

Most Illegal Immigrant Families Collect Welfare

Census Bureau data reveals that most U.S. families headed by illegal immigrants use taxpayer-funded welfare programs on behalf of their American-born anchor babies. Even before the recession, immigrant households with children used welfare programs at consistently higher rates than natives, according to the extensive census data collected and analyzed by a nonpartisan Washington D.C. group dedicated to researching legal and illegal immigration in the U.S...The majority of households across the country benefitting from publicly-funded welfare programs are headed by immigrants, both legal and illegal. States where immigrant households with children have the highest welfare use rates are Arizona (62%), Texas, California and New York with 61% each and Pennsylvania (59%).

The study focused on eight major welfare programs that cost the government $517 billion the year they were examined. They include Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for the disabled, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), a nutritional program known as Women, Infants and Children (WIC), food stamps, free/reduced school lunch, public housing and health insurance for the poor (Medicaid).

Food assistance and Medicaid are the programs most commonly used by illegal immigrants, mainly on behalf of their American-born children who get automatic citizenship. On the other hand, legal immigrant households take advantage of every available welfare program, according to the study, which attributes it to low education level and resulting low income.

The highest rate of welfare recipients come from the Dominican Republic (82 %), Mexico and Guatemala (75%) and Ecuador (70%), according to the report, which says welfare use tends to be high for both new arrivals and established residents.

We’re still waiting for all the great, higher-paying jobs that offshoring our tech jobs promised us.
