Bill Clinton Sees 'More Immigrants' As A Way To Reduce Deficit
The Woodward Report ^ | April 28, 2010 | Dan Froomkin

Posted on 04/28/2010 3:38:25 PM PDT by honestabe010

Former President Bill Clinton enthusiastically weighed into the blistering national debate on immigration today with a resounding assertion that America needs more immigrants -- not fewer -- to ensure its long-term fiscal future.

At a symposium on deficit reduction today (see my earlier story), Clinton said that one key to avoiding massive debt is to maintain a good ratio between people paying into the system, and those receiving payouts (through such programs as Social Security.)

That means more jobs and more people working, he said. "Which to me means more immigrants."

That this man ever was President is a stain on our history.

As long as they aren't Americans, the Clintons, the Obamas, the Democrats love 'em.

Note that he never says, "maybe more Americans should have bigger families, and maybe we should figure out how to make that affordable".

For Americans, the Clintons only want abortions.

This is going to be maga flame-bait, especially because it’s Clinton, but I sort of agree with him in that there is absolutely nothing wrong with legal immigration and it is quite healthy for a country.

This issue is enforcing laws, not stopping immigration.

Hey, I agree with Bill on this.

Where we differ is on the immigrants, we need rich immigrants and not poor ones.

Mexico would kill to have to ability to attract wealthy immigrants like we could.

Instead, Bill will have us chase away the rich tax payers and attract poor free loaders.

So what Clinton’s saying is that the baby boomers need a vast underclass of non-goody-receiving taxpayers to fund their outrageous expectations. Sounds about right.

Wrong. Mexico has a tiny immigration rate and harsh immigration laws. That's because they are hyper-nationalist, and they like the place just fine with just them, and no one else.

They just need a place to push the little people (um, "peons") into, and some new territory to control...which they claim is theirs anyway.

I think it was another fella who said just about the same thing. I think his name was Ponzi or something like that.
