Why Asians can't succeed without parasite economics.
-
Shrinking populations equals shrinking consumer markets equals shrinking GDP. It's math plain and simple, if you have a shrinking town, the town's gdp goes down. Abortion and opposition to immigration are the biggest destroyers of economies.

These issues have literally caused several people (that I know) to go out of business (or greatly reduce wages), who hire Americans from their community: construction workers, painters, plumbers, medical, farmers, landscapers, etc. These Americans provide according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs (our needs): food, water and shelter. These kinds of Americans should be paid well and more than most other Americans that are NOT willing to do the work (building the house they live in, working with the itchy fiberglass, getting in the hot sun for roofing, lifting bricks, etc.) and should not be forced to compete against companies that use a form of modified slavery (H1B visas and immigration workers) to lower bid prices.
This is a FALSE statement: "Immigrants do the work that Americans are not willing to do."
This is a TRUE statement: "Some Americans (many of them of them whites of Western European (people that look like me) and/or Jewish decent) are not willing to pay another Americans citizen (of ANY RACE) to produce NEEDED units of capital or services, so they hire people from foreign countries"
Also there is a difference between median income and GDP. The term GDP does not really paint an accurate picture for most Americans, and GDP can rises while median income lowers.
This is not against people of foreign countries; this is against Americans (many whites that look like me) that want to pay a foreign worker s 7.50 USD (or worse) instead of 20.00 USD per hour: Americans that want to pay immigrant wages should get deported.
A big economy is not a big median wage. -
Import the third world, become the third world.
End of story -
Spain is booming because immigrants?
-
The economies seem to be booming due to an influx of low payed workers and an increase of large, corporate wealth. The influx of cash nearly always leads to corporatism and corruption. You also fail to bring up the scale of immigration and distinguish legal and illegal immigration. This video is a horseshit.
-
Yes but this video doesn't look at the levels of immigration. You can't just say immigration is good or immigration is bad that's just fucking stupid. This video is completely one sided and doesn't even consider any of the obvious downsides. Your point about immigrants enriching us with diversity is complete bullshit and doesn't have any real substance behind it. Sure we get nice food but we also get conflict between opposing cultures and mass sex attacks. Not all immigration is good! It must be controlled!

Lies start to finish! Where does one start to refute this bullshit?

I am from europe and what he is saying is pseudo economics because yes sure spain and ireland are fast growing economies but they are because there economies had a very hard time compared to the rest of europe because of the 2008 financial crisis. There economies are now recovering fast because of improved regulation and tax cuts for big corperations to come to there country. And besides ireland doesnt have that many immigrants and if immigrants produce any economic benifits at all in europe its often after many years of them being in the country and having integrated in their new culture in the short run immigrants are in the majority of cases in europe a burden on the economy. This video isnt very analyticle at all its mainly a portrail of his own political views ( so shame on you dnews plus for this series)

In quebec, canada, we dont have as much diversity in our immigrants, but we have many people from Haiti, some of them mayors and important positions in society and at this point they have become part of the culture, they are a positive impact on our society
-
How does your analysis contrast with growing automation? When jobs are fewer will low wealth immigration still result in economic growth?
-
I am A REAL AMERICAN. i am mestizo because of the invaders from Spain. However, i still have Indian's blood of which i am very proud. So bad i speak Spanish. i would've loved to speak a dialect.
-
je ne sais pas pourquoi les Americains et les autres qui ont plein de immigrants se plaindre d'eux. nous sommes pret pour apprendre l'angalis, francais, allemand si c'est possible. Moi, rien me derange parce que je peux parler Espagnol, Francais, Anglais et en peu l'italien. cependant, cette language. non mi piciache molto.

immigrants work hard, are willing to learn the language spoken where they move and go give the best of them . and love that country. I do not live where i was born and learned English. French and know getting some German. ich kann sagen dass veilicht werde ich gehen aus deutschland zu lernen deutch. Dass freut mich viele!!!

if all of you do not support illegal immigrants then LEAVE AND LET NATIVE TAKE THE LAND AGAIN
-
You made an argument that a country is better with immigrants but failed to explain how the economy cannot succeed without them.
Yes some of the fastest growing economies have an open door policy but also some of the fastest growing economies do not such as China and South Korea. -
I was also once hit in my car by an illegal immigrant who had no license or insurance. Had to pay $500 out of pocket to get my car fixed. Many illegals also do NOT want to become citizens. They're more loyal to "the motherland" than they are the U.S. Plus, they do not want to pay taxes. I personally know Hispanic women who do NOT take their husband's surnames as it allows them to appear as a "single parent" on paper, and they can then qualify for welfare and food stamps under one salary......when in reality, they are married and have two incomes. Yet someone like me, if I needed it, would never qualify.
-
Its not immigration that keeps a nation growing.....its simply population growth, which is primarily driven by middle class. The middle class in the U.S. simply isn't having large families in the modern era due to over taxation and over regulation. Lower class/poor are actually encouraged to reproduce and expand their families with tax subsidies and virtually no tax rates to speak of, hence, in the mind of the poor/lower class its quite easy to AFFORD to have children.
The middle class, however, is typically taxed 35% of their income and also view the subject of having children as "too expensive right now". -
Economies can't succeed with immigrants if too many of them are spies, insurgents or gangsters. Responsible Immigration policy isn't just about stock values for the mega-wealthy, and those lucky enough to have 401k's worth a damn, it's about national security.
