re: Study: Deporting Illegal Aliens Saves Americans Billions in Tax Dollars

I feel the need to clarify, without sarcasm.

The National Academy of Sciences published a researched, peer reviewed paper over 600 pages of data-driven research. They concluded that 1st generation immigrants are a net negative of $1600 per person. The second generation is a net positive of $1700 per person. The 3rd generation is a net positive of $1300 per person.

Don’t forget that the 2nd and 3rd generations have far more people than the 1st generation.

This means that even though the 1st generation cost us money, the rate of return in the economy is well over what any other investment will bear. Not even Bernie Madoff could promise these kinds of returns.

Your xenophobic instincts are wrong.
Build a bridge.

Yep and all 3 generations are illegal and have to go. No sarcasm!

No shite

Stupid, biased study by National Academy of Sciences is amazingly thorough.

Stupid, biased study also failed to come to the same conclusion as super smart, well-researched, Breitbart-referenced article that bases conclusion ENTIRELY on the data of stupid, biased study.

You are dumber than the other asshat.

This study was based on numbers from...wait for it... the National Academy of Sciences (and Engineering...and Medicine).

God damn

All Trump has to do is say that the billions saved deporting all the illegal aliens will be shifted into education and job training for the poor in the country, especially the black community.
Heck - hand out free electric cars with the money. Instead of Obama phones, we have Trump electric cars made in the USA.
Would blow their minds. Green Energy and pandering to their main voting block plus massive economic progressive economic expansion.

So your study is centered around illegal/undocumented immigrants, such as those referenced in the OP eh?

That same group who released that “study” is the same outfit that produced the ridiculous “study” last fall about the “cost” of immigrants. There was no method, just “we estimate the cost to be X,” and “we estimate the taxes paid to be Y.” It is what is referred to as ipsi dixit.

What the right wingers refuse to acknowledge is that the value of the cheap labor produced by the exploitation of undocumented migrant workers is astronomical. The American employers who use undocumented labor provide the financial machinery which promotes it. If undocumented workers were actually a net loss, the system would have dried up on its own.

It is more productive and useful to use factual reasons why we have limits on immigration. Allowing an unrestricted flow of undocumented workers undermines the domestic trade workers. Immigration enforcement is needed to protect good labor jobs for the large segment of our population who are not college bound. We DO have to protect our communities. Not from “diseased dogs,” but from having no way to earn an honest living.

Correct. The “net gain” of immigration comes (+90% of it) from depressing native wages. And that gain goes to the big (and some small) businesses that exploit that labor. Not to you. Not to me.

Not important to those who don’t pay taxes
