Gallup: Five Million Central Americans Want to Move to U.S.

Five million Central American residents want to migrate into the United States, according to Gallup survey published right after the midterm elections. The caravans of economic migrants moving northwards to the U.S. border “actually represent a relatively small fragment of a much larger group of people in their own region — and around the world — who say they would like to move to the U.S. if they could,” said Gallup.

The five million number is one-in-three adults in Central America, the survey firm said. But average birth rate and family size in Central America are roughly twice as large as in the United States, so the migration of 5 million could lead to the birth of at least 5 million additional people after the migrants get jobs in the United States.

The estimate was posted by Gallup as President Donald Trump’s lawyers try to fend off lawsuits against his November plan to curb the growing use of asylum claims by economic migrants from Central America, including the migrants who are part of the caravans heading to the U.S. border.

On Tuesday, the ACLU and other elite groups who favor cheap-labor migration are asking a California judge to block Trump’s asylum-reform, anti-caravan plan.

Trump’s lawyers are expected to say his plan complies with Congress’ law by offering caravans of migrants full access to asylum courts if they apply at the border’s “ports of entry,” while also offering a limited form of asylum, dubbed “withholding from removal,” to migrants who illegally sneak into the United States.

If upheld, Trump’s “withholding of removal” fix would be a huge blow to the cartels’ labor trafficking business. It would be a blow because it would deny migrants the easy access to U.S. jobs which is needed to pay the cartels’ smuggling costs and profits.

Five million is low estimate. 20% of Mexicans live here and 25% of Salvadorans live here.

Why don’t we just take over their countries and make them all American citizens? That way, if they move across Mexico to get to the mainland U.S., Mexico will stop them as Americans and put them in prisons with no questions asked for 10 years and no trials.

And WHAT particular skill sets would these “Central Americans” bring to the US that the US DOES NOT already have, such that admission to the use for potential citizenship could be extended to ANY of these 5 million largely unskilled and of unknown health and IQ status?

“And what about south americans, and africans and Russians and Chinese and vietnamese...”

You forgot the entire Indian Subcontinent and all of Southeast Asia.

The former currently overwhelms the Santa Clara Valley and the latter is now the dominant population of Orange and South LA county.

They do not know that self-government and federalism are responsible for the success of the U.S. They believe the leftist “narrative”, that we stole our prosperity from them and that is why they are poor and struggling. That is why they feel entitled to the benefits of the U.S. They have been told that by their governments, the U.S. government and academia. Why shouldn’t they believe it?

The truth needs to be told loud and often but so far the Republican Party is too busy appeasing leftists. We need to support POTUS and demand that our county and state Republican parties get on board.

Not even in the ballpark. They all want to come here. I’ll propose a trade. They all come here and live with their commie brothers and sisters, we conservatives take over South America and begin to kick the worlds collective asses again.

The previous middle-class: Home, car, yearly good vacation

The NEW middle-class: You can “Play Aristocrat” by hiring maid, gardener, nanny

I’m all FOR being rich, but this play acting is silly and destructive. It’s a self-deception provided for by economic forces WARPED by an invasion.

The natural market is being thwarted.

Three percent of the world’s adults — or nearly 160 million people — say they would like to move to the U.S. This includes 16% of adults from Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, Panama and Costa Rica, which translates into nearly 5 million people.

Fine. Let’s settle them all in Washington, D.C.
That should get us a wall within a year.

Can we work out a trade in which the countries of origin have to take an equal number of our babymamas, hoodrats, methheads and malcontents?
