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.”

Sorry about Karsh kicking you out of his sitting room. I’ve been kicked out of lots of places, too. (Mostly for uncontrollable fits of giggling when deemed inappropriate.) Good night and sweet dreams!
Sleep tight and stay warm!

Good morning! I went to bed as soon as I put Kathleen to bed, but had an awful sinus headache all night. I was glad to see the clock say 5:00 a.m.
Hi...I slept about 4hrs and I guess I’m awake...groan ;)

It rained here most of the night, but our cats were inside. Jake is outside now, but I think the rain has stopped.
The temperature is 47, says the Weather Channel, and will drop to a low of 9 tonight.

Don’t worry , Bob, that smell equals a mild Winter.

It is just possible that the US itself might not exist without the Golf stream.
If Europe had remained a cold swamp rather than warm dry farmland...
Now it is just a fermenting swamp.
Coldest I’ve ever been was -57F in WY but I’m a big woosy now
That makes my -20F on skis look like a good place to chill milk before use...Wow thats Cold!
I’ve never been to the really cold parts of the U.S. We got below zero in Southern Middle Tennessee the year we were there, but not much.
I’ve seen deo’s pictures on how cold TN can be.
If you want really frosty , go through LAX. The coldest , least inviteing place in CA.
It was so cold my neighbor at the time couldn’t start her car, her highway patrolman hubby couldn’t start his cruiser, and she asked me if I could get her to work. I had a “hot rod” in my oil pan on my truck, and it just barely turned over like the oil was jello, but finally started. When I turned on the heater, a fog of antifreeze blew out.
I lifted the hood, and all the rubber hoses had shattered when the engine started like they were black glass.
