Let me get this straight. In order to foster “growth” we must let illegal alien invaders enter the country and take away American jobs, because they will take less pay and benefits. Or something like that.
That sound about right?


That is incorrect.

Jeb Bush is trying to address the demographic Armageddon that is about to hit the United States when all of the Baby Boomer retire en mass and start to soak up Social Security payments and hand the economy over to the Baby Busters whose population is far to small to support all of the retired baby Boomers.

as of 2010 there was 1.75 Full Time Private Sector workers supporting 1 Social security recipient. In 5 years, when the Baby Boomers really start retiring in huge quantities, the the number of Full Time Private Sector workers working to support 1 Social security recipient will fall below 1 to 1 which is very scary and totally unsustainable.

The number of Baby Boom retirees will also result in a massive shortage of experienced, skilled workers resulting in massive labor shortages unless Boomer delay retirement till their 70’s

Sucks to be us, but immigration is the only way to grow our way out of the demographic and entitlement hole we have dug for ourselves.

You obviously don't like this and neither do I, but liking it has nothing to do with changing the reality of the situation.

But what is happening is that they are bringing in techs from these countries and displacing higher paid Americans.

Illegal aliens from Mexico and South America, arrested not the skilled worker force we need using that argument. When Bush talks immigrants, that is who he is talking about.
