More shameless parasites:


Heavyweights backing the letter included the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the American Farm Bureau Federation, Dow Chemical Co., General Electric, AT&T, Google, Facebook and tech-centric groups like Compete America and the Information Technology Industry Council.

And they have the gall to call us the "corporatists"???????

Oh yeah, Obama's "Jobs Czar" Jeffery Immelt wants to increase the supply of labor. Print money, import workers, the path to prosperity! The Federal Reserve approves this plan.

Oh no-! How dare people come here to /work/!

Next thing you know they'll be coming to share donuts!

If this was simply about work, there wouldn't be such a heated controversy. Like they say there is nothing free or cheap unless costs are being diverted to another party. Cheap labor is a widely purported lie from a macro-economic perspective:

Unlawful immigration and amnesty for current unlawful immigrants can pose large fiscal costs for U.S. taxpayers. Government provides four types of benefits and services that are relevant to this issue:

■Direct benefits. These include Social Security, Medicare, unemployment insurance, and workers’ compensation.
■Means-tested welfare benefits. There are over 80 of these programs which, at a cost of nearly $900 billion per year, provide cash, food, housing, medical, and other services to roughly 100 million low-income Americans. Major programs include Medicaid, food stamps, the refundable Earned Income Tax Credit, public housing, Supplemental Security Income, and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.
■Public education. At a cost of $12,300 per pupil per year, these services are largely free or heavily subsidized for low-income parents.
■Population-based services. Police, fire, highways, parks, and similar services, as the National Academy of Sciences determined in its study of the fiscal costs of immigration, generally have to expand as new immigrants enter a community; someone has to bear the cost of that expansion.


In 2010, the average unlawful immigrant household received around $24,721 in government benefits and services while paying some $10,334 in taxes. This generated an average annual fiscal deficit (benefits received minus taxes paid) of around $14,387 per household. This cost had to be borne by U.S. taxpayers. Amnesty would provide unlawful households with access to over 80 means-tested welfare programs, Obamacare, Social Security, and Medicare. The fiscal deficit for each household would soar.

Corporations reap the benefits of cheap labor and you get stuck with the bill. Meanwhile, an entire class of dependents become comfortable in the already burdened American social safety net, thus complicating popular opinion even further. It should be noted that the U.S. border was relatively open until 1965 roughly around the time the Great Society started ramping up.

Its easy. Amnesty in exchange for signing over your right to vote or collect welfare of any kind for the rest of your life. Not complicated.

We should do that for "Legal" immigrants too.

I wonder if some smaller, generous welfare European countries like Denmark have a policy in place like you stated.
