LMAO!
Your link references professional "economists" positing more illegal immigration as being good for the economy. What your link fails to assess is the disconnect between Wall Street shareholders and corporate profits with personal income growth. While profits for corporations and shareholders rise because the margins between profit and costs widen as wages are increasingly depressed by illegal alien labor, legitimate workers' wages lack an ability to keep up with normal economic growth. That's good, as long as we're ALL corporate entities.
Professional "economists" need to get their heads out of Wall Street's arse for a breath of reality on behalf of the average laborer. For that, one'd need to consult with those who've actually had experience holding meaningful jobs. But "Economists" won't do that because what's good for the legitimate laborer (exclude labor unions from discussion) isn't always in the best interests of the corporate world, and from where do the majority of "economists" make their incomes? Yeah, I can see they'd bite the hand feeding themselves, since they'd not have an otherwise marketable skill. LOL!
"Economists" would be doing themselves a credit if they'd compare total losses attributable to illegal alien labor with the net gains of Wall Street. Across the board, when 11 million illegal aliens take an EEC of just $2000 each, there is no way their contributions equal their costs to the citizen taxpayer when their additional billions in social costs are factored in. What those "Economists" fail to report, whether by deceit or through ignorance, are those additional costs to taxpayers, which would normally be just another cost of doing business, force federal deficits higher, but they don't realize those effects because those additional taxpayer costs are expected to be borne by "future" generations.
In principle, it's the same thing if, on a personal level, one earns a fair wage while paying part of their bills with another's credit card while they attempt to hide the statement. It appears for now, the income is great - but the true cost isn't realized just yet, but we KNOW it's there.
Those trying to pass of illegal alien labor as "good for the economy" are simply shortsighted, greedy, and wrong.
Or their opinions could be "bought".
I guess it's the words "On Balance" that are too hard to grasp. Did you mistake them for "inbalanced", perhaps?
