False. Immigrants are not a net benefit, except as cheap, abusable labor.
They commit crimes at a lower rate and improve the economy. Also, don't we have a labor shortage everyone keeps going on about? And if they're legal, they don't get abused. Which is why we should make an easier path to getting them work papers.
So I mean. The whole labor thing boosting the economy is a big deal.
False. Immigrants are a net benefit. On average, every additional person contributing to a society is beneficial.
You're coming at this from the obvious, white male perspective of "They took our jobs." Admit it.
Oh absolutely. No American will work as cheap or be as abusable as a h1b1. I would post the pewresearch study, says that for every 10% increase in immigrants, wages go down 2%, but google is not being helpful.
So the government should step in to block immigration, but not the abuse of workers?
Gonna block you now. I can tell you have nothing 'beneficial' to add to this conversation.
Sorry you're so racist and unskilled that you need to blame immigrants for your problems. Maybe you should become more competitive in this capitalist system your kind are so fond of.
When has the government ever been pro-worker? The only lever we can actually pull is immigration.
There was a study. I dont think it was pew. Here's a good response to why this papers results doesnt match up with most other literature and why, while the model was good, he data selected seems biased: https://www.cato.org/cato-journal/fall-2017/does-immigration-reduce-wages#testing-george-borjas-s-results
