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.”

Bob, an update, am filing two more ... maybe three. My file system is worthless though ... so there is no need to bother.

[NicknamedBob]

I’m not concerned. I can always pick up a new shredder, er, I mean, motorized folding filing system.

[no-to-illegals]

Another worthless update ... working on filing five to ten. Bob, do you have an extra file cabinet I could purchase?

[no-to-illegals]

This mapping thing, down in the lower level, is becoming serious Bob.

Bob ... Darksheare ... I see trolls. Am retreating to go to the weapons room. I promise to go back down to the lower levels but will need firepower and backup. Bob, I should have listened to you. You said there were things down there in the lower levels that were unknown ... I should have listened. I'm retreating to retire for this evening ... Back to the lower levels tomorrow after a good nights rest.

[NicknamedBob]

"I'm retreating to retire for this evening ... Back to the lower levels tomorrow after a good nights rest."

Eminently sensible thing to do.

Of course, by the time you return to your quest, everything will have changed again.

By the way, regarding that firepower? It is inadvisable to make them mad.

[no-to-illegals]

Understand Bob ... Using logic makes 'em mad too, I've discovered and when I make a typo or grammar error on the map, sometimes (not today) full blown attack. No full blow attacks today, except for maybe one, where I was practically called crazy (but not in those exact words) ... was only told my logic was *absurd* ... and that's normal ... nearly. The one, am referencing, was asking me who I was going to shoot too ... gee ... had to warn that one that I'm smiling but might not be smiling next time am accused of bring out my firearms. But hey, some things are never normal ... Including Me, cause me has never been normal in their sense of what is normal. God, Bless Their Little Hearts.

[no-to-illegals]

My apology to you both ... I’ve done it again. Went and said too much on another thread. Have even called out Nully to run the nutjobconspiracy ping list. Dang Me.

[no-to-illegals]

Thanks for clearing that up ... I thought I was stuck at the frame six frames down on political analysis. I feel better already. Guess I shouldn't but do.

[no-to-illegals]

One other thing ... I still enjoyed watching you kick some rear when there were those saying things about our Military People that were disgusting. I can sleep well tonight knowing the Overlords are up and busy at making all sane which is not.

Good morning.

[no-to-illegals]

Morning T-c!
