Bullfeathers. Every policy he put in place was SUPPOSED to do something, when in truth, it has run in the opposite direction. They are losing more of their base than they are letting on...they need fresh low infos.

Yeah, depressing the earnings of citizens via the importation of barely literate unskilled labour will really boost the economy. Yippee.

Provided you only account for any income, and NONE of the associated expenses!

This may indeed be true. But only because the GOVERNMENT will be providing benefits to illegals that will cause the increase in GDP. In short, more national credit card economics.

The WH just throws up numbers without any rational basis.

How are 11 million illegals going to cause the creation of 2 million new jobs?

Additional welfare agents?

This is the same rhetoric as legalizing them will save social security, and illegals are the only ones creating new businesses, and they are fertile, yada yada yada.

Too bad we don’t have a real opposition party, because the GOP has become so watered down it is a useless party of Dem-lites.

I don’t think there’s any chance the Senate bill will be passed by the House.

And, although I’m in favor of Paul Ryan’s approach of tackling each main issue (e.g., border control, legalizing residency, amnesty for coming out, citizenship requirements, eligibility for benefits, etc.) in separate bills, this report is ridiculous.

How will citizenship add to GDP, or put another way, how will a citizen doing the exact same work as a guest worker with a legal green card add any more to GDP than the guest worker? I’d love to see the numbers on that one.

In fact, it’s more likely that it would cost tax dollars because any sensible bill would require the guest worker to be working to retain his green card. Quit working, back to the home country. Whereas, once a citizen, quit working, get welfare. And, for that matter, even while working, get food stamps, rent subsidies, etc.

This is a classic example of this administration just saying it’s so, without the press ever bothering to call them to account for their total fabrications.

These people are retards. Illegals are a drag on the economy overall and they know it.

If these illegals were causing such grand things for the economy, Mexico would be building the fence to keep them in Mexico.

Why not make it 4.1 trillion? It even sounds better.
