What jumps out to me is why are we bringing in so many legal immigrants every year, i.e., 1.2 million? The decade ending 2010 was the highest in our history, yet there was a net loss of jobs during that same period. 25% of the legal adult immigrants who enter the US each year lack even a high school degree. We are importing poverty,
In fact, we are bringing in 125,000 legal foreign workers a month when you count those coming in on temporary work visas and permanent immigrants.
125,000 brand new foreign workers with work permits each month -- HERE'S THE PROOF
And the sad truth is that immigrants, legal and illegal, are using welfare programs to a much greater degree than native born Americans. Milton Friedman said that, You cannot simultaneously have free immigration and a welfare state. We have both.
Great post! Thanks!
