Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said it was not an "exaggeration" to say America would be committing "national suicide" if it does not pass amnesty legislation.
“Our current immigration laws are national suicide,” Bloomberg said on Friday at an immigration summit in Washington. “I don’t think that’s an exaggeration.”

What an idiot. Amnesty IS national suicide.
Mr Nanny needs to go away......
Actually, national suicide is exactly what Bloomberg and his ilk have been enabling for decades with their support of abortion. Another 50+ million people (the number aborted) would have done a lot to fill the need for labor and stimulate the economy. But he preferred to kill them.
Always take whatever a liberal says and flip it to find the truth.
If they say the earth is warming, you can bet were heading into a new ice age.
If they say those who deny global warming are flat earthers, the truth is THEY are the flat earther’s! who are calling the skeptics heretic's with government backing.
If they say not passing amnesty is national suicide.. you can be 100% certain that passing amnesty will be national suicide!
And if we pass amnesty, we will become Mexico.
I think we need to explore other remedies to our low birth rates.
Have you noticed how the left no longer hides their true goals?
They are doing and saying things today that would have prevented them from winning any election in the past. They had to lie to get into power, and now they believe they have won it all. Welcome to the brave new world of socialist utopia.
I guess when you have the MSM covering your back you can say and do anything.
Bloomberg we don’t have jobs.
Jobs.
Jobs.
After we have jobs, then talk about immigration, maybe, but first bring back American jobs.
Bloomy:
‘The one thing, all kidding aside, that hasn’t changed and won’t: I’m going to keep pressing Washington to act on the issues that matter most when it comes to keeping America competitive, and America safe, and America strong, and few things matter as much as immigration. I have said repeatedly, our current immigration laws are “national suicide” – and I really don’t think that’s an exaggeration. Because I see industry after industry, company after company, school after school improving overseas, and if we don’t do something, we’re going to find ourselves someday on the backside of the curve, and it’s very hard to play catch up in this world. The vast majority of Americans, the good news is, agree that we need hardworking people from around the world to come here. It is crucial for our economic stability, and our ability to create jobs. We all agree that we need stronger borders and better enforcement. But we also agree that turning away foreign-born innovators and entrepreneurs and the best and brightest immigrant students educated here – is about the worst economic policy anybody could possibly have. ‘
No shortage of recent immigrants in NYC or Maryland Bloomy, in fact they are Balkan-ized now, that means little resistance to guys like you and O malley..
There is nothing wrong with our immigration laws. The problem is that they are not enforced. Period.
When is this lizard going to crawl back under his rock?
See how that works?
want engineers? make an allowance for them. Whatever positions are lacking. that sort of sanity does not require for amnesty for people plucking chickens or serving fast food.
they have no problem with the idea of jailing or confiscating property from up to 300m people if they don’t pay their 0bamacare bill...
they also have no problem handing out over 150m speeding tickets every year
but propose they evict 5-10m illegals every year and they start screams about how it’s not possible
what a load of bullsh*t. they want to push amnesty so progressives will have a lock on the govt for the next 50+ years
screw them
Exactly
Many people would effectively argue the opposite - open borders, like we have now, are national suicide.
There, fixed Bloomies statement.
H1B is pure evil, that needs to stop NOW.
They will have a job. Not very skilled, but a job that pays quite well.
They'll be professional voters. Skilled at voting for one party. For this labor, earning all kinds of income: EBT, section-8, 0'care, EIC, food stamps, at least 140 flavors of income.
