The WSJ op ed pages just represent a foolish attitude that has no connection to the real world. Do these people not realize that they are in the process of making their own noose? I know I am repeating myself, but the current trends of importing cheap labor + the displacement of American born workers though importation of cheap labor and export of cheap jobs will produce a govrenment that will push for a European Style welfare state.
If trends continue, business owners, managers and those in the "investor class" in 10 years will wonder why they are in a 50% tax backet, + paying an extra 15% to state and local taxes and fees. Why? To support the people they displaced and the people they imported though govrenment programs.
You're exactly right. That's what's coming - unless the WSJ and our elites can build some really big ovens and convince all the displaced workers they're showing free movies inside. :)
That's very true, unless the US has a strong and robust middle class the country will sink into third world status, and it's not a conservative position to want to see that happen. Supporters of massive illegal immigration are only looking at the short-term while ignoring long-term trends of real declining wages and rising tax burdens.
No doubt if it ever gets too expensive to live in the US those pushing current policies will simply pack up for cheaper pastures somewhere else leaving the rest of us holding the bag.
