we just don't have enough people to work...not sure where you think all these native-born workers are going to come from.
But one thing I'll agree with - the strength of the US economy is the magnet. When bad economic times return to the US we will have a lot less immigrants. People are voting with their feet and they see the biden boom and US labor shortage as an opportunity.
I don't know the demographics or economics of it. But 2 thoughts:
1) A lot of things seem like intractable problems until you're (simply) faced with them. Low wage workers dry up. OK. U.S. economy adjusts? Companies start paying better wages for the jobs currently filled by illegals? Prices go up? Everyone survives. Prices eventually level out? Again, never taken an econ class in my life, but far from certain that a country of 330 million DOESN'T actually have enough workers.
2) Assuming that #1 is too rosy, adjust legal immigration. How many of those companies are pushing for that? Two? They might not get away with paying $2/hour to a citizen?
So, yeah, I'd think that there are ways to solve this that don't involve never-ending large illegal immigration.
well the big question is how much slack here is in the US labor market. Meaning, how many Americans will decide to go take a job if wages go up. There is a lot of disagreement on this among economists, and there is no consensus answer. Many just don't want to work, many have childcare responsbilities, many must take care of a sick family member, many live in rural areas without any jobs and can't move, many are disabled or have a criminal record/can't pass a drug test.
but we may find out...wages of low-earners have been rising the quickest among all groups. We'll see if that draws more Americans into the workforce.
I think it probably will on the margin, but not enough to meet the needs of American business. I mean we're at a level of unemployment only found at around 1% of US history.
The child of a rapist is indeed a US citizen equal to me and you in every way. I do not want them murdered. I don't know where you would get such a crazy idea.
Birthright citizenship is right and good and enshrined in our constitution.
You're pro-abortion most likely right up to the moment of birth. It's murder whatever you call it.
The founders didn't have 3rd worlders crapping out kids for government handouts in mind.
I'm pro-life.

The race war has already started. Whites are hunting black people. Ten were killed in Buffalo on Saturday.
And CNN is there to capitalize on it
Yes, CNN makes their money by reporting on the news.
Fox makes their money by stoking hate and resentment among the elderly.
Since these elderly racists don't want to hear about the racist shooter that killed 10 people, Fox downplays it as much as possible. Better to go with UFO's instead.

Take your idiotic infantile logic and stuff it.
Birthright citizenship is the primary argument AGAINST open borders not for them.

They’d have to remove you from your room and internet into the real world.

If you weren't a GD moron you'd realize how stupid it is for you to taut the "real world" while you defend a position the MAJORITY of Americans reject.
Let me amend that ... or rather amend Agip's statement ... Dems want a lot of ILLEGAL Immigrants so they will become citizens and vote out the Rs
classic R hatred of America.
Here we have a nation built on immigrants. American immigrants work harder, commit less crime and become better citizens than native borns. Plus we have a massive worker shortage and need immigrants to help American business grow.
But here Rs loathe america so much that they can't accept that Dems want immigrants for those good reasons....and instead think that there is some plot by dems to further their political interests.
They really hate America. You can just feel it in every posts from Adult and a few from Sally.
they know their own party is very bad and so they project that illness onto the other party.
they just can't imagine anyone would want the best for America, that corrupt miserable place. There must be a plot.
The badness of the current R party and the goodness of manageable immigration doesn't change the fact that there certainly COULD be lots of Democratic operatives for whom some or much of or all the motivation is to gain political power. In fact, I'd be shocked if there aren't. And probably a good number. Rs don't have a monopoly on the desire for political power, obviously.
And this argument might have been more abstract and theoretical until fairly recently, when localities started discussing (or even implementing?) voting rights for illegals. To which a lot of Trumpers no doubt said (with much justification), "SEE !!!! I TOLD YOU SO !!! They want them to VOTE !!!"
Always best not to give bad people good ammunition.

You're side is the pedophiles at the Lincoln Project and you think the 74+ million people who voted for Trump are "bad people".

The solution to this is quite simple: issue more work visas to both skilled and unskilled workers.
