    During his speech going on right now Obama claimed that illegal aliens raise the wages of Americans.

    Does this make sense to anyone? And I don't see how this would encourage high-skilled immigration, highly skilled immigrants don't have anchor babies.

    If he said that then it means the exact opposite is true. Everything out of his mouth is a lie.

    Obama is full of crap. We all know he will say anything if he thinks it benefits his leftist agenda.

    Not even Hans Gruber would make such an absurd claim. Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen may I please have your attention and direct you to the following article. Obamacare the gift that keeps giving (it) to Americans.

    This moron makes Dan Quayle look smart. This is what happens when the right doesn't have anyone worth their salt to elect as president. You get another idiot for 8 years.

    Illegals lower wages because competition lowers prices to the benefit of the consumer.

    If you restrict competition and create regional monopolies - prices will rise.

    [hr][/hr]

    Where I disagree is that this is a justification for such restriction of competition. The same is true of any industry: steel, healthcare, automobiles - if you protect your goods/services from competition in the market, that helps producers at the expense of consumers.

    In other words, you agree that Obama is just spewing bullcrap again.

    He is clearly a liar. And way too many idiots in this country believe his lies.

    Literally every time this guy speaks out on an issue, he says something stupid. I could find a more qualified person to be our president by simply selecting a name at random from my home town phone book.

    Read it and learn something, people:


    Today, the independent Congressional Budget Office released its score of the Senate’s bipartisan immigration bill, providing even more evidence that commonsense immigration reform is good for the budget and good for economic growth.

    CBO estimates that fixing our broken immigration system will reduce federal deficits by about $200 billion over the next 10 years, and about $700 billion in the second decade. The CBO analysis made clear that the additional taxes paid by new and legalizing immigrants would not only offset any new spending, but would be substantial enough to reduce the deficit over the 20-year window. A significant portion of the new taxes would be paid by previously undocumented immigrants. While many of these workers already pay federal taxes, millions more will pay payroll taxes once they are able to obtain legal status and work above board.

    CBO also found that commonsense immigration reform will increase real GDP by 3.3% in 2023, and 5.4% in 2033, a real increase of roughly $700 billion in 2023 and $1.4 trillion in 2033, due to higher labor force participation, increased capital investment, and increased productivity resulting from “technological advancements, such as new innovations and improvements in the production process.”

    From the link you've posted:

    Under the Affordable Care Act, that means businesses who hire them (newly minted legal illegal aliens) won’t have to pay a penalty for not providing them health coverage — making them $3,000 more attractive than a similar native-born worker, whom the business by law would have to cover.

    Does anyone believe, Obama will hurriedly sign new executive order, rectifying quirk in the law?
    I (*)(*)(*)(*)ing rest my case.

    High skilled immigrants don't come to the United States.

    The US generally gets Mexico's undesired populace - those that are unskilled or those that just want to live on welfare.

    Oh and the best part is that the majority of "immigrants" from Mexico have ZERO loyalty to the United States and the money they make here goes straight to Mexico, boosting Mexico's economy.
