Boehner’s new amnesty director’s findings. She conveniently leaves out the part about the permanent democrat majority.

, immigration reform would:

• Spur economic growth. Immigration reform would cause the U.S. economy to
grow an additional 4.8 percent over a 20-year period, including 2.8 percent in the
first decade (as measured by gross domestic product, or GDP). Annual average
growth would be 0.24 percent higher, peaking at 0.35 percent in FY2019–FY2023.

• Reduce federal deficits. Cumulative deficits would fall by nearly $1.2 trillion over a
20-year period. About $180 billion of this reduction would occur in the first decade,
and $990 billion in the second decade.

• Jump-start the housing recovery. Immigration reform would dramatically
increase demand for housing units. This would increase residential construction
spending by an average of $68 billion per year over the 20-year period.

• Expand the labor force. By 2033, the labor force would be 8.3 million people
larger, an increase of 4.4 percent compared with the baseline.

• Offset aging of the workforce. After accounting for fertility, mortality, and
emigration, immigration reform would add 13.7 million people to the population by
FY2033. Just 6 percent of these people would be age 65 or older. By comparison, the
Census Bureau projects that 20 percent of U.S. residents will be 65 or older in 2030.

• Increase long-term wages. Wages would initially fall due to the large influx of
workers, but rise in the long-term. Real wages in FY2023 would be about 0.2 percent
below the baseline, but would be 0.5 percent higher than the baseline in FY2033.
