Cheap-Labor Hucksters Scam America and Its Workers

At a time of document immigration, America’s cheap-labor foyer is demanding extra. Its marketing campaign relies on the declare that inhabitants progress is crucial for nationwide prosperity. However it is a Ponzi scheme that cheats U.S. employees and strains public providers.

“‘Financial progress requires inhabitants progress’ is the essential message that Ponzi demography desires the general public to swallow,” says Joseph Chamie, director of analysis on the Heart for Migration Research. “No point out is product of the extra earnings they reap and the additional prices the general public bears.”

The venal axis of leftist politicians, libertarian ideologues and company media hacks doesn’t care about American employees, taxpayers and even U.S. safety. Their mass immigration agenda is actually alien to the nationwide curiosity.

In 2017, the Census Bureau projected that America’s inhabitants was on monitor to hit 404.5 million by 2060 — a 23 p.c enhance in simply 4 many years. And that was earlier than Joe Biden toted his disastrous open-border insurance policies into the White Home.

“Larger immigration ranges had been a profit at a time when cities weren’t overpopulated, our public transportation and infrastructure weren’t in disrepair and our entitlement system was not close to collapse,” FAIR acknowledged in 2019. “Unrestrained immigration is an undue and pointless stress on our cities and suburbs.”

Even immigration fans in academia acknowledge the issue. Within the phrases of 1 research: “Immigrants are much less fiscally helpful than native-born working-age individuals as a result of they earn much less on common and thus pay much less in taxes.” The report went on to quote “vital web prices” of immigration to state and native governments, which fund Okay-12 faculties. A traditional Ponzi recreation.

Meantime, America’s workforce, supposedly unable to satisfy market calls for, has ample slack, in keeping with the newest knowledge from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Along with 5.95 million Individuals out of labor final month, the ranks of the long-term unemployed are 1.4 million and rising. One other 5.7 million will not be within the labor drive however need a job. That’s 700,000 greater than in February 2020, when COVID arrived.

Amongst foreign-born residents age 16 and up, 15.3 million will not be within the workforce in any respect, and their 65.6 p.c labor participation price is barely three factors above the U.S. common. So, why the need for extra imports?

“It’s apparent that what U.S. enterprise is ‘frantic’ about (to make use of the Washington Submit‘s time period) isn’t a scarcity of employees. It’s a scarcity of low-cost employees,” writes Alan Tonelson on the U.S. Enterprise and Trade Council Instructional Basis. “When enterprise begins providing pay that’s rising increased than the inflation price, then Individuals can begin worrying about real labor shortages.”

For now the cheap-labor shills are whistling within the wind.
