I'm done with the CIS report, Employment in the State of Texas is my industry. It's hog wash. Their own data shows that they guessed. The global warming crap is more credible than the CIS study.

Ah, another voice of denial heard from ...

If you bothered to read the report, you would have seen that the employment numbers are taken from the BLS, and that the illegal alien estimates are done that in the same way as done by DHS, INS, PEW, Census Bureau, etc. Translation - the illegal alien number is low balled.

I saw this when it was posted earlier. It’s based on Centers for Immigration Studies paper that begins most statements with “we estimate.”

CIS is into the sustainability and the environment and its major push is population control.

CIS finds population control so important, because of the impact on the environment and CO2 emissions

If you are interested I have found the link to some more information on 'guest workers', ie. legal immigrants:

The Most Generous Nation in the World... at Giving Jobs Away lists all the visas available as of the end of 2009. IIRC, more have been added on since then. NOTE: part of the reason 125,000 new legal workers are brought into the US each month during a time of record unemployment and underemployment is these visas being built into 'free trade' agreements which are enforced by the WTO with no accommodation for the employment situation in the US.

... I take it, you too support a call for white supremacy and eugenics. ...

well boy, insults are the response of those who lack facts. How Alinksy of you! You don't like the message so you smear and ridicule the messenger.

... That nativist hyperbole won't work ...

Saying that the political elite have turned the US into the welfare and HR department for the world is not 'nativist hyperbole'. But then you probably know that and hope the smear will stick and the message will be lost.

... If US companies stopped employing foreigners, we'd be in far worse shape then we are today....

Another lie. If US companies stopped employing foreigners, salaries would not have been depressed and we would not be experiencing record unemployment and underemployment. Not to say there still would not be problems.

I note you ignored the fact that the US spends hundreds of billions of dollars on illegal aliens, anchor babies, brand new immigrants and their extended families.

... Properly educating our children should be the #1 priority to revive the US economy long term and to restore American exceptionalism. ...

boy another distraction from the fact that there are hundreds and hundreds of thousand of older, experienced, proven, exceptional, workers with a good work ethic who are unable to either find employment or are stuck underemployed.

I note you never denied that:
"Thus, well over a million workers are added annually to our labor force when 14 million Americans are looking for work “[actually 125,000 per month or 1.5 million per year].
"U.S. companies see immigrants, legal or illegal, as an endless source of cheap labor to keep wage costs down. And they are right"

Appears I struck a nerve. Well, you got what was coming to you. In your haste to editorialize my reply and lay claim to the high ground, you fell far short. You made the serious error of opening the door. Then you connected the dots. I simply used your own words to expose you and your marginal views. You took the low road. Not me.

Even so, I was trying to find some common ground between us. We agreed the country is in an economic mess, people are hurting and the govt is causing serious problems. But legal immigration is not the major cause of our problems today. Its more a symptom of the overall problem we face as a country. Trying to govern a huge diverse nation of over 300 million people, from a centralized government bureaucracy and through liberal socialist policies, will not work. Adherence to staunch conservatism and fidelity to the Constitution will get this country rolling again. The latter will revive and restore traditional values and beliefs for all Americans.

Instead of offering up responses that advance honest debate, you hand out juvenile paybacks. Look, I don't like your fringe politics. It insults America and its people and crosses the line into an agenda of bigotry, prejudice and racism. John Tanton and his yahoos are at the core of my attacks. If you choose to get in the way, you'll get the same treatment they received.

... Appears I struck a nerve. ...

boy, you need new glasses.

No honest debate offered by you, just insults and cheer leading for the SPLC position on CIS, FairUS, and NumbersUSA, with the implication that those who want to limit immigration are white supremicists!

...Well, you got what was coming to you ...

indeed boy an insult from one who espouses the views of the SPLC is a high complement.

[Reagan Man]

You are hilarious.

One more time -— if I can stop laughing for a second.

You brought up the SPLC, NOT me! ROFLMAO

You have defended the nativist and eugenicist, John Tanton, along with his creations, CIS, FAIR and NumbersUSA. Live with it!
