Immigration advocated use this dirty trick where they *only* count federal budget impact to say that immigrants are a net benefit. Even then, they ignore a lot of federal spending and they add some line in the article about how "we couldn't determine how much money in this category goes to immigrants, so we just left it out lol"

...and even if they were, how could we count on government statisticians to actually acknowledge and record that fact?

(Rhetorical)

First thing I learned in statistics class is how they're manipulated to serve agendas. Very red pilling.

@Deleted User Skilled immigrants are probably a net gain for the budget, but they ruin the country in other ways, demographics aside. For example, they remove the need to invest in education for American students, since employers can just bring someone in on an H1B.

@Bjorn - MD The NAS study is pretty good. Government studies generally include pretty detailed explanations of the methodology, the it's fairly easy to find the good ones.

I don't know... this all sounds pretty racist to me... <:really:453005408064241674>

why do you hate brown people?

This is a good summary of the NAS report on the economic impacts of immigrants. Very useful information on budget impacts and other stuff.

@Deleted User I just haven't had enough contact with them

I love brown people who are not in my country.

THEY'RE JUST LOOKING FOR A BETTER LIFE HERE GUYS

Literally crying rn

@Deleted User and to ruin ours...

How about creating a better life there? <:usinnoodle:420778112226164736>

Take a moment to consider that there are ACTUALLY people whose argument in favor of immigration is that one of the immigrants could be the next Jesus

Of course they are. But, you know, seeking a better life by fleeing their own people’s civilizational incompetence

People literally argue this

They probably support Israel too

I really don’t blame them for coming here. It really is our job to keep them out though.

Oh, so now your calling their countries shitholes? I knew you guys were racists

@Josh M. -OH Maybe. It's mainly a neocon thing now.

But if they weren't shitholes why would they risk so much to leave it?

wanting our own country to be safe and in line with our people = racist
