It takes jobs away from the citizens, but it does help small business owners keep wages down.
I understand why we let people with 1.5 million come into our country, and some PH.D graduates, entrepreneurs that agree to hire 2 or more citizens and invest a minimum of 500,000 into a small business (excluding real estate), and engineers who have a company agreeing to pay them over 200,000 a year....
But WHY do we let these shit poor-migrants/refugees who refuse to speak the language, and their always 80% male...

Low wages boost GDP.

It's the easiest way to take advantage of the Curley Effect. Democratic socialism is based entirely on exploiting this to stay in power, so it makes sense that they'd want to accelerate the growth of poverty by importing people who consider it to be a comfortable lifestyle.
Isaac Anderson
import more poor people poor immigrants vote democrat rinse, repeat?
Matthew Perez
>it does help small business owners keep wages down. large businesses too. Mostly large businesses.
and that's the reason. Your government is owned by large businesses and they like cheap labor.
they don't give a fuck what you think about that.
David Thomas
Yup. It's faster than the older method of driving out everyone who isn't poor. It's even better if they're culturally incompatible and simply refuse to integrate, because this guarantees they will stay poor for tens of generations, likely living in ghettos where groupthink forces them all to vote for the same party.
Connor Edwards
doesn't explain why Obama deported something like twice as many as Boosh did.
William Martin
Because entitled monkeys like yourself want extravagant salaries and benefits for the absolute lowest tier labor or you won't do it.
The people who are willing to accept low tier work for low wages are third world male migrants.
It's as easy as that.
Don't like it? You pick fruit for a dollar a day or support industries that automate.
Luke Lewis
But at the same time he tried to push through amnesty and set Hillary up to increase refugee intake.
Oliver Gonzalez
yep. the last amnesty we had was under a republican though. Reagan. Back in the day migrants voted Republican.
they stopped when they began to realize you guys literally hate them.
Anthony Turner
Reagan actually succeeded in implementing mass amnesty long before Obama even tried.
Take your retarded memes back to /pol/ is the correct answer.
Luis Sanchez
Unskilled immigrants are a double edged sword. IMO the cons outweigh the pros. Here's why:
Advantages: > Cheap labor
Disadvantages > Undercuts current bottom tier of labor > Increase in crime > They often skirt taxes AND accept social program money from government > As immigration increases, nationalist ideals decrease, which decrease the overall productivity of the nation
At the end of the day a little bit of immigration is a good thing. Any more than that and it pokes holes in the boat.
Trump is correct. Build the wall.
Josiah Fisher
Wow thanks for telling me about the Curley Effect.
I have heard a belgian complain about that with muslims from like 2010...
Leo Hill
>implying the brown people will work over 90% employment in most Swedish enriched areas
Jordan Edwards
Sweden is a welfare state, logic doesn't apply there.
Alexander Watson
>But WHY do we let these shit poor-migrants/refugees who refuse to speak the language, and their always 80% male...
Please check your privilage before designating other people's gender you shitlord
Ryder Hughes
>b-but the Republicans did it 30 years ago! Do you think it's a coincidence that open-borders Sweden is a role model for Democrats?
Oliver Cooper
what do you mean?
Hudson Hill
Ignore it. He's too stupid to defend his god emperor's god emporor so he's bringing up strawmen to deflect.
Bentley Sanders
I'm saying both sides want illegal immigrant votes.
the republicans were just stoopid enough to get them via amnesty and then piss them away by being dicks.
You're a useful tool for the GOP, but don't pretend for an instant they actually want what they tell you they want. I wouldn't be surprised if they passed another amnesty in the next 4 years. They'll call it "a path to citizenship" or some bullshit.
Landon Myers
Maybe next time put a fucking trigger warning you inconsiderate cunt.
Ryder Mitchell
Sweden is a welfare state where the people are totally dependent on the government to fulfill their basic needs. Sweden is also poorer than most of the US when adjusted for purchasing power, because welfare states are inefficient and draining on the economy. This is the Curley Effect in action.
Sweden is currently importing large numbers of Muslim refugees from backwards countries like Somalia and Syria. These people don't speak Swedish or even English and don't have Western values. This means that even if they wanted to assimilate, they couldn't, so they will be dependent on government benefits just to survive for generations.
Easton Gutierrez
And how does any of that counter the claim that Republicans enacted amnesty decades before the Syrian refugees came into the picture?
Daniel Allen
>they will be dependent on government benefits just to survive for generations. most immigrants fail to assimilate. most immigrants' kids assimilate just fine.
they're often more successful than the natives.
Austin White
>they're often more successful than the natives. 6/10 made me laugh
Colton Green
I never disputed that. It's not a refutation of my statement that the Democrats are using immigrants as part of the Curley Effect, which is the strategy social democratic parties use to stay in power. You've mistaken opposition to the Democrats for support for the Republicans.
The governments of European nations are actually trying to prevent assimilation. There's a push in Germany to give Arabic equal status to German in schools.
