Ocasio-Cortez: ‘Immigration Writ Large Is Yielding Enormous Economic Benefits to the United States’
Breitbart ^ | 02/07/2024 | Pam Key

Posted on 02/08/2024 6:22:08 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “All In” that “immigration writ large is yielding enormous economic benefits to the United States.”

Ocasio-Cortez said, “It is actually completely nonsensical that we do not talk about the enormous blessing, economic blessing that immigrants and immigration represent to the United States of America. A lot of folks sometimes think that this is a certain kind of immigrant, like college educated, or technical Visas, all immigrants that we are seeing, this is the CBO estimate, immigration writ large is yielding enormous economic benefits to the United States.”

From her perspective, it is. She and her fellow progressives are locked in. I almost threw up typing this, but one day, she could legitimately be elected president.

She’s right, sex trafficking is making enormous money, so are the coyotes bringing in the illegal aliens, drug gangs are making a fortune as well smuggling in drugs that’s if you can even call it “smuggling”, it’s more like “welcoming”

Benefits for the illegal immigrants, not so much for the US.

--- "Sandy is a deluxe moron with cheese"

I disagree. That would make her too easy to dismiss. She is conniving, manipulative and self-serving Lefty, clever enough to get re-elected and stay well away from any real questions, ergo an appearance within the world of MSNBC. Take her seriously, for that is the way to defeat her and her use of a fawning press.

One should take one's enemies seriously, after all is said and done.

The only economic benefits go to the elites while emptying the wallets of the middle class taxpayers.

Those ‘enormous economic benefits’:

Diseases we had once eradicated or controlled-

▪ Tuberculosis (active)
▪ measles
▪ malaria
▪ POLIO
▪ hanta virus
▪ Chancroid
▪ Gonorrhea
▪ Granuloma inguinale
▪ Leprosy (infectious)
▪ Lymphogranuloma venereum
▪ Syphilis (infectious)
▪ Other exotics.....

Other ‘benefits’:

▪ Increased crime rates
▪ Less prosecutions
▪ Vagrancy
▪ Increased costs to house ‘migrants’
▪ Immense amounts of sunk money to feed and sustain ‘migrants’
▪ Increased need for LE to address ‘migrant crime’
▪ OVERLOADED classrooms and need for more teachers with ESL experience resulting in hugely increased school taxes
▪ Hugely increased load on medical resources for the indigent because they overload capacities funded by taxpayers
▪ Increases on insurance because migrants don’t have any

Yeah, these third world illegal slags are an ‘economic boon’. ONLY to big business who wants cheap labor and none of the unrecognized other costs and to Democrats who must have new voters. They are literally almost all of the source of our economic problems, and the regular taxpayer takes it up the keester for the ‘benefit’ of having them here.

The scary part is that too many voters believe that mass invasion is a good deal for the US economy.

And even scarier is that far too many voters do not understand that the invaders will be voting in 2024 after they are registered by less than scrupulous County Supervisors of Elections

Someone needs to ask her why we’re spending billions on these illegals if they’re a net positive.

Illegal entry isn’t immigration.

Gee Sandy if these illegals are such a boon to the economy why is Mayor Adams and ultimately your constituents paying for their food, housing and medical care and now giving them $1,000 stipends?
