re: As someone who voted for Trump, do you find most people ignorant?

Did you really update your post just to add an insult. Wow...

Since again, you linked another article from 2016, I will update it for you.

Arizona has the 16th ranked economy in the U.S., moving up from 32 in just two years from 2014-2016. The economy doubled since cracking down on illegal immigration.

Alabama, again, went from last in the SE to surpassing 4 states from rank 47-44 from 2012-2016, after cracking down on illegal immigration. While still low, the state actually is in the range of most of the states surrounding.

Don't buy in to the liberal media's narrative, because the majority of the time, it isn't the right one.

Again, did you not read the part where, once those laws did not hold up in court and didn't materialize, the immigrants moved back? I already linked that for you too. It was the fox news article. So thank you for further proving my point.

You gave me yet another article from 2012, stating that illegals moved back to Alabama. We cannot see if their economy was to improve or decline after passing the immigration law, due to its short life caused mostly by pressure from the Obama administration. The appeal went to the Eleventh circuit court, where the judges presiding are 5-7 democrat appointed.(4 being appointed by Obama and Clinton).

The Arizona SB-1070 law still stands, only it was neutered partially. It says nothing about illegals moving back, but police aren't required to profile them, which was what outraged most people. They only profile at their own discretion. The economy has still doubled and the law still stands.

Good lord. The article was from 2012 because that's when they moved back. Did you want them to wait to report that in 2016? You're the one citing how their economy is improving.

I don't think they realize those from Mexico are taking the jobs they think they're too good for...

You'll find people that take these jobs, however the American work ethic in the bottom 30% is very poor and they will not be able to keep those jobs. At least the Mexicans and other illegals show up for work.

Why do people think that legal Mexican workers can't do the jobs that illegal Mexican workers are doing???

Yeah. Anybody who could buy the MSM attacks on the president such as the Russians hacked the elections is as dumb as a rock and ignorant in a way this is a disgrace for citizens.

Actually gdp was at its highest BEFORE the law was passed and still hasnt reached those numbers again.

Negative. At one time it was indeed higher, but before the law passed in 2009, the GDP had decreased 8 billion dollars, hitting an 11 year low. The decrease in GDP was not due to the immigration law whatsoever. The GDP increased 10 billion after the immigration law.

quote:

---

the general trend in growth compared to other states that don't have these laws was less. I already showed you that in another link. So was there growth? Yes, but it was hindered due to the laws. That is what is meant when people say the economy was negatively impacted.

---

As I stated before, the GDP from 2007-2009, before the immigration law, had decreased a total of 29 billion. The immigration law had nothing to do with that, because it came a year later. From 2010-2012, it increased 10 billion and has steadily increased the same amount annually post SB-1070, even lessening at times with illegal immigration increasing.

How was the growth hindered by the immigration law compared to other states when the economy had majorly declined from 3 years previous? The economic growth is not hindered when it grows 10 billion after having the worst recession since before the 90's.

The issue to be decided is whether or not our Credit last long enough to get us to a form of high-tech economy wherein basic goods and services become "ubiquitous" to a degree that we can guarantee basic income to all the unemployed (for various reasons, both moral and immoral) people who would otherwise go rogue.

A lot of folk are worse than "ignorant"; whether masses can be cured of what amounts to clinical psychoses and economic dysfunction, remains to be seen.

I suspect that collapse, anarchy and a thinning of the weak in the herd will be the ultimate 'solution', if the credit don't hold. Always has been that when people/society becomes deluded (like the utopian State of Sweden taking on psychos by the hundreds of thousands and thinking themselves wise and virtuous) Mother Nature steps in to right the ship. Unqualified reproduction is not a virtue; nor unqualified subsidization which amounts to the same. We'll likely learn this the hard way.
