Actually, the Numbers Show That We Need More Immigration, Not Less

The Democratic Party's solution is to bring in the most uneducated, unskilled, impoverished and often bigoted, sexist and anti-secular people of all by the millions making the USA the world's dumping ground of the least desirable people of all.

I read your post.

So you must be an immigrant.

Unless your a Native American you must be.

Whites being evil, there is some poof that whites have been evil, but not all whites.

Roman Catholic was the religion of the Nazis, but that doesn't mean all Roman Catholics are Nazis.

Immigration has always made America strong and has always been opposed.

Ben Franklin HATED the Germans and believed the world would be better if the were wiped out.

The Irish, Jews, Italians, the French, Asians, Mexicans and virtually every race or culture that came to America have been slandered.

Many of the greatest minds who won Nobel Prizes as Americans were immigrants. (About 75%)

Nikoli Tesla father of A/C power, the radio, electric motors and 100's of other patents came to America with $4.00 and no job.

I agree that we need to increase immigration.

Congratulations!

Your wish is being amply fulfilled.

I have just read that many people from ALL continents are crossing the Rio Grande -- with their suitcases.

It is a sight that warms the cockles of the hearts of all open borders advocates.
 
Yet Japan manages to rank 3rd in GDP year after year, ahead of countries who've taken in millions of migrants. These countries include the UK, Germany, and France.
China, ranks #2, and also does not allow economic migrants to ever holds citizenship.

Ever thought about adjusting for population? Japan has over 100 million while Germany has 80 million and the UK has 66 million. In regards to GDP (PPP) per capita, both countries are ahead of Japan. In 2017, the UK had $43,600 and Germany had $50,200 while Japan had $42,700 and China was at $16,600.

LEGAL immigrants....not those that broke the law to be here or have been deported 20 or 30 times.
 
About 25% of all immigrants are undocumented.
There is no paper trail for them.
There is no way to accurately describe the individuals in this group, because they are “unknown”.

According to their supporters, they use bogus names and social security numbers. They often work for cash.

When they live in HUD housing, with their legal resident relatives, no records exist, they are never counted. There are no statistics of any kind available, for illegal residents living in HUD housing.

When illegal residents live with legal residents receiving food stamps, they must be listed on the application. They do not “receive benefits”, as an additional household member, but they eat the food purchased with the food stamps. Illegal residents receive the nutritional benefit of good stamps. There is no statistical information available.

Statistically speaking, illegal immigrants are invisible, do not exist (except in the census count).

On the other hand, legal immigrants are well documented. All kinds of paper trails to chart them as individuals.

Of non-citizens in Census Bureau data, roughly half are in the country illegally.
In 2014, 63 percent of households headed by a non-citizen reported that they used at least one welfare program, compared to 35 percent of native-headed households.
Compared to native households, non-citizen households have much higher use of food programs (45 percent vs. 21 percent for natives) and Medicaid (50 percent vs. 23 percent for natives).

While most new legal immigrants (green card holders) are barred from most welfare programs, as are illegal immigrants and temporary visitors, these provisions have only a modest impact on non-citizen household use rates because: 1) most legal immigrants have been in the country long enough to qualify; 2) the bar does not apply to all programs, nor does it always apply to non-citizen children; 3) some states provide welfare to new immigrants on their own; and, most importantly, 4) non-citizens (including illegal immigrants) can receive benefits on behalf of their U.S.-born children who are awarded U.S. citizenship and full welfare eligibility at birth. 63% of Non-Citizen Households Access Welfare Programs | Center for Immigration Studies

Legal immigrants are required to show how they will be supported, without welfare, to maintain legal status (for the first five years). In general, they are educated and self supporting.

Illegal immigrants often start benefitting from the welfare system from the first day they are in the country. They are generally uneducated, with little or no job skills. We are told this is their strong point, they will take jobs no normal person would want.

Statistics that show immigrants as a benefit to society only consider the legal resident immigrants. There are no reliable statistics for the illegal residents.
