Narrative of lies.
What we want to increase is GDP per capita, not GDP.
If we bring in millions of nonskilled/lowskilled third world labor, GDP may increase but GDP per capita goes down.
That is because they contribute less economically than in resources they use.
For example, take a single mother from El Salvador with three children who works as a low-paid housekeeper for a globalist GOPe politican in Washington, D.C.
The average cost per student for a year in DC public schools is about $20,000. That takes $60,000 in taxes just to support the education costs. She won’t pay taxes, she will get EITC and child tax credits, so that costs money as well. And the costs of accessing local emergency rooms and clinics for free health care. And if one of her children becomes an MS-13 gang member, the costs to victims of his crimes and if caught the costs of administering the courts and jails and prisons. And she may well access various welfare programs.
The US is a welfare state. We actually hurt our GDP per capita when we bring in unskilled foreign labor.
Great post.
