“Several rent studies refute that claim, however, concluding these new citizens would add billions in additional tax revenue and consumer spending, help create hundreds of thousands of jobs and, theoretically, raise the “wage floor” for all workers. An amnesty program would also allow the government to shift more of its resources to anti-terrorism.”
Wow. What a huge, soft, wet, stinking load of horse $hit.
They are spending as much as they will ever spend, and they are here because they are working under the table. And they were hired to work under the table because that is cheaper for scumbag employers. They will continue to work under the table so tax revenue won’t increase a dime. They will continue to take social services illegally by simply claiming they have no insurance and no means to pay and showing up at the ER for their bandaids.
And these leftist jackass “reporters” really expect us to believe they give a rat’s ass about terrorism!!!???? Bwwwaaaahhhhaaaahhhaaahhhaaa. That’s a good one!!!
I'll bet you money these "studies" were put together by a bunch of slumlords who are licking theirs chops over the prospect of filling their slums which they can't rent to anyone else with newly minted faux citizens.
This would also be the first case in my long years of studying economics where dumping a huge new supply of workers into the tight labor market where the "wage floor" for all workers would be raised.
Under that reasoning, we might as well move the entire third world to the United States and everyone's wages would surge so much we'd all be rich.
