"Studies Show Immigration Reform Could Give a Boost to the Economy


By Julissa Treviño 3/12/10 3:00 PM Add to the immigration debate following yesterday’s White House meetings a few recently published studies that could prove to be useful in pushing for comprehensive immigration reform.
One study shows that comprehensive immigration reform could add $1.5 trillion to the country’s GDP over the next 10 years by increasing consumption and investment. Comprehensive immigration reform, here, is defined as a plan that “creates a pathway to legal status for unauthorized immigrants in the United States and establishes flexible limits on permanent and temporary immigration that respond to changes in U.S. labor demand in the future.” According to this Center for American Progress and Immigration Policy Center study, comprehensive reform would also boost wages for both native-born and newly legalized immigrant workers.
But even now, immigration is actually benefiting U.S.-born workers. Based on data from 1994 to 2007, the Economic Policy Institute published a study in February showing immigration raised the wages of U.S.-born workers by 0.4 percent ($3.68 per week), although it lowered the wages of foreign-born workers by 4.6 percent ($33.11 per week).
According to another study by the Immigration Research Initiative at the Fiscal Policy Institute, in 25 of the largest metropolitan areas, immigrants (foreign-born U.S. residents, regardless of immigration status) make up 20 percent of the population and are responsible for 20 percent of economic output. The study found that economic growth and immigration are closely connected and immigrants contribute to the economy proportionally to their population."

Citizens voters have the absolute empowerment to remove from office all corrupt politicians, Governors, Mayors, Judges and others who have been pandering to the millions of illegal families that have settled in America. In the midterm election THE PEOPLE have an ultimate commitment and duty to identify those incumbents who have used their influence in supporting illegal foreign nationals. Incumbents Sen. Harry Reid should be first to thrown out, followed by majority Speaker Nancy Pelosi, then Sen Chuck Schumer who is recognized as another player to undermine the use of E-Verify, as he tries to substitute it with yet another enforcement tool. ITS ANY SLIMY METHOD TO CUT DOWN ON ENFORCEMENT. Sen. Lindsey Graham is in discussions with President Obama to drag the American people through another expensive AMNESTY. 15 million plus Americans are walking the streets looking for work, while the estimate that upwards of 8 million illegal aliens are–NOT–jobless. THIS IS THE PROGRESSIVE IDEOLOGY OF CORPORATE AND THE OPEN BORDER INSANENESS. MILLIONS OF CITIZENS AND RESIDENTS ARE VISIBLY LIVID AND ARE THREATENING TO IGNORE THE CENSUS COUNT, BECAUSE THE HAVE A NERVE TO ADJUDICATE ILLEGAL ALIENS AS WELL.
Illegal immigration is an epidemic that is costing every state-county-city billions in government entitlements. This issue is like an old gramophone records that keeps repeating itself. Both political parties are to blame, because of their loyalty is to their parties and not to the American people. The money taxpayers spend on supporting welfare for the desperate of other countries, would pay for every Americans health care annually. Our government has lied to us continuously, but we can make an example of those who ignore the people’s interests. READ THE LATEST ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION NEWS AT NUMBERSUSA, THE CORRUPTION AT JUDICIAL WATCH. INFORM EVERY STATE POLITICIAN IN YOUR CONSTITUENCY. CALL THE WASHINGTON SWITCHBOARD AT 202-224-3121. INSURE THE YOUR POLITICIANS AID LOG IN YOUR ANGRY COMPLAINTS AND DON’T TAKE–NO–FOR AN ANSWER."

"Hello, It is very interesting to read about these kind of opinions that don’t know anything about what illegal immigrants go through. First of all employed immigrants do pay taxes and do not qualify for welfare, unemployment, federal loans and/or food stamps. So, I don’t see where illegal immigrants are taking money out of the country if they don’t qualify to get free services. Illegal Immigrants stimulate the U.S. economy because we pay taxes, go shopping, open stores and we pay tuition to go to college. Most of illegal immigrants go to college which is very expensive for them because they don’t have the same privileges as people who qualify for federal loans. Illegal students get stuck in the limbo because they cannot go forward with their career goals because people just won’t see further. This is a country of opportunities; this country was founded and built by immigrants. Most of illegal immigrants that do have a job when most of Americans citizens don’t is because most of illegal immigrants are willing to do the hardest jobs and low paid jobs to put food on the table for their families. As humans beings all illegal immigrants have the right to look for a better future for their families.

It's very important for those illegal immigrants to face these type of opinions wrote by people like "Brittanicus"
