Michael Bloomberg: Amnesty Needed to Prevent 'National Suicide'
Brietbart ^ | January 26, 2014 | Tony Lee

Posted on 01/27/2014 5:58:17 AM PST by Zakeet

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.”

All this false urgency to pass “immigration reform”. I would be supportive of immigration reform if it meant that we would enforce current immigration rules, but the immigration reform touted by Bloomberg and others is nothing more than a way for elites to get cheap labor and/or to ensure a loyal voting block. Neither of these goals helps the long term health of this republic.

I couldn’t have put it any better. No more until our tech employment stabilizes and rebounds if it ever does.

Our tools of national suicide are sitting in the White House and the Senate, not at the border.

Another 50+ million people (the number aborted) would have done a lot to fill the need for labor and stimulate the economy.

Need for labor? We have 20 million Americans underemployed or unemployed. We have a shortage of jobs, not labor. And who uses abortion the most? Blacks and Hispanics. And which groups have the highest unemployment rates? Blacks and Hispanics. And which groups use the welfare system the most? Blacks and Hispanics. And which groups have the highest birth rates? Blacks and Hispanics.

I don't support abortion, but it would be a mistake to say that these additional 50 million people would be an unalloyed good for the economy or jobs.

I think we need to explore other remedies to our low birth rates.

Our fertility rate is 2.06 children born/woman (2013 est.), which is just about at replacement level. This places us 121st in the world, but only Israel (2.65) and France (2.08) have higher rates among the developed countries and most of that is due to the Muslim birthrates. New Zealand has the same rate as the US.

The nation’s total population would cross the 400 million mark in 2051, reaching 420.3 million in 2060. Our current population is 317 million. Below is a breakdown by race and ethnicity (2012 and 2060):

Below are projections by age and sex:

We already have such programs. The Gang of 8 bill wants to double the number of guest workers from 700,000 a year to 1.4 million a year. In addition we take in 1.2 million permanent legal immigrants a year.

Instead, the pols are trying to invite unskilled people to come here in droves and not work. That's national suicide.

Trying to invite? We already bring in 1.2 million permanent legal immigrants a year, most of them poor and uneducated.

Right. Just another “law of the land” which this administration willingly ignores.

Amnesty is national suicide and it can save us from suicide. Double edge sword. Our birth rate is below what is needs to be to sustain growth, so more immigrants are needed to offset. Yes, I get that it is suicide, due to the watering down of America. On the good side, I’d be willing to bet that most of the immigrants would be harder working that the 47% that are on the govt assistance. So the govt needs these workers to offset the lazy Americans who won’t work. Very tough situation be this country to be in right now.

The economy is in desperate shape. Tens of millions of honest LEGAL citizens out of work.
GOP in trouble.

Solution:
Bring in tens of millions of MORE workers that will vote Democrat.

That works out well for an extreme Leftist/Government Supremacist like Bloomberg, but not so well for the 300 million citizens who will suffer a much lower quality of life if the elite like him turn America into THIRD WORLD COUNTRY.
