In his press conference on December 20th, President Obama urged the House of Representatives to support the Senates 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. Its fluid, which is how we want it to be.

Both la raza unida, (MechA,) and every muslim charity and association preaches hate against the USA and have no business bring here.
Stick amnesty in both your ears and let them blow YOUR brains out snd rape YOUR daughters. WE have had enough of both creeping sharia and creepy 'latinos', who are nothing more that spanish speaking palestinians. As a 'people' they don't exist except to usurp our land and our culture for their own.
It had a smell. Now it is only ozone left in the air. Zip, zero, nada. Only post has been removed. Good sniffer you got for the trolls.

No, thank you.
The unemployment rate in Mexico is half the US rate.
Stands to reason. Half of Mexico's unemployed have come to the U.S., and have displaced formerly employed Americans.
what does ZOT mean? I mean I get the general jist of it that it has to do with a troll, I’m new and just wondered.
Oh, hello.
How many handles?
