Fixing Our Broken Immigration System will save One Trillion Dollars! (over the next two decades)

Hi, all!

This week, we got some big news about the immigration reform bill. It's a little wonky, but it's so great that I couldn't wait to share it with you.

The nonpartisan experts who estimate the financial impact of legislation for Congress concluded that because undocumented immigrants will start paying more in taxes for things like education and Social Security, the immigration proposal in the Senate will make the economy fairer for middle class families while cutting the U.S. deficit by almost $1,000,000,000,000 over the next two decades.

With every passing day, it’s becoming clear that we can’t afford not to act. Now we know exactly how much is at stake, and it's the kind of news that can help to change the policy conversation in Washington.

So we've put together a graphic that explains exactly how this works, and we need your help to share it. If more people get the facts, it'll be easier to build a nationwide, bipartisan consensus to get this done.

Take a look, then share this graphic with folks you know:

As much believability as the fake BC.

[Ray76]

How do we know it’s broken? It is not enforced.

Just like “healthcare reform” was going to save gazillions.

[The Wizard]

I think the term is hoese sh*t

Cecilia Muñoz is a liar, a ditz and a moron. The kids in the White House need to stop reading and believing their own press releases. Morons.

The alternative to the “trillion dollar coin” — invent a trillion dollar savings using the worst of all collateral, people who won’t earn a dime.

I mean...if you can't trust the former VP of La Raza...who can you? (puke)

“I think the term is hoese sh*t”

I use “horseclinton”.

And if you need a BC or any other documentation our underground Hispanic community can help you with that! Oh only of course if you are the right type of person.

I think the bill will save a kazillion dollars, save or create several bazillion jobs, and generate boo coo tax dollars. It will also provide an unlimited supply of happy skittle-pooping unicorns flying over magic rainbows.

[Repulican Donkey]

Right! She probably thinks a new car is an “investment”. too!

[jmacusa]

My sentiments exactly. When you never use something, it doesn’t need fixing.

[willibeaux]

Horse pucky!!!

[FourtySeven]

$1 trillion over two decades?

Pfft...chump change.

Tell me Miss (excuse me I mean “Ms.”) Munoz: how much will these “undocumented workers” COST us over those same two decades? Hmm?

Don’t see that lil factoid in your analysis do we?

[Kevmo]

There should be a barf alert in the title.

Blasphemy!! You doubt the CBO? How dare you!!! The illegals won't cost us anything. They're Free!!!

I have always noticed that the leaders in Mexico and the leaders of La Raza tend to be light skinned (castallenos) while the darker skinned people (morenos) are at the bottom of the pile. I notice the same thing when I look at Mexican television and look at the actors and newscasters. Of course they are always calling us racist. Just saying.....

[WVNan]

They think we’re stupid!!
