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.”

You underestimate yourself. The Milky Way galaxy is moving through space at 2,237,000 mph.
I admire you for being able to keep any coffee in your mug.
LOL ... I just looked at my coffee mug and my coffee mug is empty. Failed again, I did!
Everything out there just lying about, waiting for the harvesting, is not of interest to me. What interests me is the process of harvesting, and what it requires.
The solar system is bespangled with treasure, but we need to build our sailing ships so that we can go adventuring.
And visiting the occasional welcoming port.
Darks did show up though ... so all is planned, me guesses. But then again ... Me keeps saying Me is crazy and the People agree. So failure stalks each of us. I lose. Want to play again?
More coffee.
Coffee stealing shblgths are about.
They resemble donuts.
Me too Bob ... That is why Gold is heavy and going for the Gold is heavier (imho). I failed. Maybe there is someone somewhere that will Get ‘Er Done. This planet does need someone that will and can. I’m not that person. Knew so a long time ago. But I have confidence in you Bob and many other here.
Darks if am wrong please correct me ... Are we talking zer0s or holes in whole approach by the donuts? Or did Me do it again? I says this is going too deep.
Oooohhh, YUMMY!!!
Black Watch??? *swoon*
It’s a hole in nonspace that eats coffee.
Cruel and unusual punishment, Moosie. Cruel and unusual to post those cakes... *hmpf*
I’ve been reading out there or rather not here and Am Sensing ... Smelling, Mapping the Lower Levels, Flying too Fast, Grazing (yes grazing) with all the animals on this planet (btw I love the food), sometimes holding my head up to view the scenery and then somebody gives Me another sleeping pill and I know all typed is for naught. Is frustrating like others here that want to say something profound and the words elude and fleetingly fly in all directions except the direction in which one wants to type or say those words ... so I resigned myself to be normal, if I could, while the world appears the opposite. Bearing ones soul causes one to scream ... and as Nully posted God says *You’re Welcome*. Won’t cry because of what is to be ... will be.
Pics when I get a chance. ;-)
Tried it on last night. Gotta admit, it’s comfy and looks pretty good. Followed the measurement instructions to a T and it fits like custom it was custom cut.
I may be forced to use a can of smoked baby oysters against the Demon Lord.
I had to look twice to see the chicks! LOL!
LOL.
I read that entry at table titans and near snorted my coffee out of my nose.
Nobody.
Cute, huh?
Shblgths live to steal coffee.
It’s how your mug ends up empty without you touching it.
smiles Nully.
