Dispelling Myths: The Case for Immigration Reform [Enjoy your made-in-America ZOT, troll]

In his press conference on December 20th, President Obama urged the House of Representatives to support the Senate’s immigration bill, which passed 68-32 in late June. Among the concerns cited by Americans who oppose reform are that immigrants will take their jobs, drive down wages, increase criminal activity, burden the welfare system, and reshape the cultural dynamic of the country. These concerns are mostly ill-founded. The legitimate concerns have real solutions, and a more open immigration policy will be a net benefit for all Americans...

Highlights from Article:

- A 2013 study by the American Action Forum states that "immigration reform can raise population growth, labor force growth, and thus growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP).”

- In 2013 the Bipartisan Policy Center came to similar conclusions. It makes the prediction that current provisions, as included in the Senate Bill, would raise GDP 4.8 percent over twenty years.

- According to the Immigration Policy Center, immigrant males between the ages of 18 and 39 (which constitute the greatest portion of the prison population) are five times less likely to be incarcerated than are natives.

- A 2011 survey by the Pew Research Center revealed that 92 percent of second generation and 96 percent of third generation Hispanics speak English proficiently.

- A 2010 Gallup poll revealed that Hispanics attend church services more often than non-Hispanic whites.

- Since an influx of immigrants means an expansion of the labor supply, many assert that the result will be less jobs and lower wages. However, as asserted by Jason Riley, a member of the Wall Street Journal editorial board, “The number of jobs in the United States is not static. It’s fluid, which is how we want it to be.”

Oh, that’s great! Now, all I need is a reason.

I'm thinking Venezuela for havoc. Appears one could run through the streets screaming .... something like I'm gonna shoot off something. Both sides are massing for a fight. Might be a good place to start some rumors. I could work one side, you the other side. It would be great havoc. We could slip out just as the flames started.

Since to hear the world talk ... *Everything is America’s fault.* Why not? Might be fun?!?

[no-to-illegals]

Besides it hasn’t snowed, in a week. Me is going stir crazy.

The problem with wreaking havoc in a place like Venezuela is nobody would notice. The place is 100% havoc already.

Heck you are correct and that rules out Ukraine too. What is one to do? Want to take a chance and join those girls that are going up against putin? We could infiltrate the obama White Hut? Vote out RINOs? Havoc! Want to help create it!?! I know I'll go down to the lower levels of the ship, and continue mapping. Darks will be happy and so will Bob. There should be havoc a plenty down in the lower levels. Yep, that is what I'll do. Enjoy the havoc on the lower levels.

I took a nap.

I’m almost convinced I need to do that. My legs are hurting and my back is killing me, as the bottom is dropping out of the barometer. The wind is blowing at a pretty good clip, and I’ve lost all incentive.

*sigh*

Perhaps I will wake up in the morning and feel really good, so I can at least vacuum the floors. The gal from the “agency” is coming tomorrow to make an assessment of my “needs,” and I plan on telling her what a dismal job it is for the PCA’s to actually be expected to work, my way, at the time I want them to come.

In looking back this last gal only wanted to dust and do laundry, and wanted to come at 1000 on Fridays. What is going on with these agencies? Do they not screen their applicants?

Anyway, I guess I’m being listed as a problem client...So I struggle with what HAS to be done and hope I can put a small dent in the rest of it.

[Monkey Face]

I’m off. Later, all...

[Dead Corpse]

Btw...

I now own a kilt.

Black Watch tartan.

I have Cherry Hill, NJ on my list. You?

"Bob, if you get a complaint letter with pawprints and toothmarks, it’s from Jake and Shannon. You can ignore them."

I'll just put them in the same file I use for Democrat correspondence; the one with the motorized folding mechanism. It makes for efficient filing and storage.

Lucas Radio?
Er no, I wanted it to work as a Radio not just a room heater.
Yupiteru receiver. The rest was recycled and reengineered parts from many companies and household appliances. :)

Keep tweaking it, and add a lightning rod, and soon you'll have your own Stargate.

Nice! I used to have a Black Watch print bathrobe.

[moose07]

LoL, Shhhh everybody will want one. :)

[NicknamedBob]

Most won’t want to sacrifice the microwave.
