Importation of low wage workers, legal or illegal, depresses wages for everyone.

How immigrants are helping keep job growth hot while inflation cools.
June 17, 2024

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/17/immi...ndroidappshare

Immigration has helped the U.S. job market sustain a fiery run in recent months without reigniting inflation, economists and analysts say.

The U.S. economy added a whopping 272,000 jobs in May, but the consumer price index was unchanged.

This dynamic a hot job market and cooling inflation is in part the result of increased inflows of immigrants.

Recent spikes in immigration at the southern border and elsewhere in the U.S. have helped keep the labor pool full even as job gains kept apace.

Remember Repub Campaign Advisor Karl Turd Blossom Rove's Swift Boat "attack the strength" tactic?

Well, typically pro Repub Mainstream Media embraced and promoted that tactic to help their beloved Repubs win elections more than any other time in their long history of spinning Repub talking points to help their beloved Repubs win elections when it came to Biden's border policies and stewardship during his historic economic, jobs creation, lower relative inflation and NO RECESSION recovery from Trump's Pandemic.

It was one of his Great Strengths in converting the American economy and jobs numbers that Trump touched and naturally and true to form turned to shit and killed into The Envy of the World Economy he handed to Trump on a silver platter.

See link above.

Add to those critically important results the extra added bonus of Biden's brilliant use of immigration, documented and undocumented, as not only not increasing the crime rate by one iota but actually lowering the crime rate that had skyrocketed under Trump. Economic expansion and historic jobs creation tends to do that.

Meanwhile, I am sure you haven't forgotten that Democratic President Barack Obama got slammed mercilessly for breaking records on deporting immigrants during his very recent tenure, right? And that Joe Biden deported many, many more violent criminal immigrants and at a much, much lower cost to tax-payers than Trump has or ever will, right?

Maybe that actual record of results over the decades has contributed a wee bit to Democrats being "on the outs" with the American public so much they only won more votes for president than any other candidate recently in 1992,1996, 2000,2008, 2012,2016, 2020, missed it by a swing of less than a single percentage point in 2024 with a mixed race female candidate married to a Jew vs an "encumbent" Cult Leader presidential candidate that had been doing virtually nothing more challenging than playing golf and campaigning for re-election since 12 Noon on January 20,2017, reduced the number of Repub House Seats in that historic global "change" election year of 2024 and has won virtually every special election since then.

Well, along with the fact that one can probably count something close to 90% of the job gains over the past 100 years happening under Democtratic Party Presidents and most definitely not Republican Party presidents.

Just sayin'.

[MarquisdeSade1]

Sounds like quite the overgeneralization, on the number of "intellectual" or highly-skilled Europeans. Any real "...we don't need no stinkin' " data, to backup those claims of "most"? Or is this just an opinion puff piece?

Don't forget MAGA clearly thinks and believes, there's more than enough intellectual/highly-skilled Americans with a bachelor's degree or higher, to fulfill those high-level work/jobs. So it's doubtful, it the "intellectual/highly-skilled" Europeans that are the ones coming and illegally staying.

BTW, it's just my opinion, but most self-respected intellectual or highly-skilled European immigrants (the legal ones anyway), want very little, do with your Fuhrer's MAGA crazy authoritarian version of today's American.!

And get that vermin on the next flight out of our beloved Homeland!

Mainstream Media has done a pretty good job of explaining that ChristoFascist Mike is simply following Trump's orders to shut down the government and keep it shut down in order to delay the swearing in of a newly-elected Democrat who will be the 218th House of Reprentatives votes to release the Epstein Files. Which makes the Repub Speaker of the House of Representatives, ChristoFascist Mike, by definition, a Pedo Protector.

And then MSM goes on to accurately explain that the USA can break the impasse on this umpteenth Repub House of Representatives Government Shut Down if Trump orders Mike to stop being a Pedo Protector for just a minute or two, long enough to swear in that Democratic Representative so she can vote to release the Epstein Files.

However, for whatever reason, MSM has not yet accurately cited another way to break this particular Repub Government Shut Down impasse and reopen the government; how about if just one of the hundreds of Repubs in the House of Representatives who has not already done so announce they will vote YES to release the Epstein Files? That would render whether or not ChristoFascist Mike swears in that newly-elected Dem Representatives as the necessary 218th vote required to release the Epstein Files irrelevant and leave him no serious excuse for not counting that 218th vote at any time. Then they can get back to work making sure 16 million American kids will not go without food over the next few days, weeks, months, until January 2027 or whenever the current Repub Pedo Protectors must relinquish governing responsibility and power to the Dems.

Granted, it is highly unlikely that there is more than a tiny handful of Repubs in the entire country, in or out of the government, who is not at heart a devoted Pedo Protector.

But it's certainly worth a try. And at least somebody in typically pro Repub Mainstream Media should mention it in passing as another way to break this recent Repub Government Shut Down.

How do I benefit when you and Spidy get my tax dollars and you pay for hookers? The Democratic douche philosophy is to take my money to buy your vote.

The interest on the debt because of you Democratic douches caused with your paranoid Covid policies is through the roof. https://www.reddit.com/r/economy/com...ments_revenue/

$579 billion in 2025 went to paying interest on the debt. Total revenues were 3. 1 trillion. That is nearly 20%.

$1.661 trillion was collected in income in 2025. That entire amount was swallowed up either by Medicare, Medicaid, Veteran benefits, or payment on the debt which in large was due to previous income redistribution. There was nothing of value being given back to high income families unless a family member was on Medicare.

In 2012, these were the facts. https://taxfoundation.org/research/a...united-states/

The lowest-income families receive $8.13 in federal spending for every $1 dollar they pay in federal taxes. Middle-income families receive $1.57 in federal spending for every $1 they pay in federal taxes. However, high-income families receive $0.25 cents in federal spending for every $1 they pay in federal taxes...

Well, I am just beside myself with worry over how poor widow Elon Musk got by before Trump handed him that chainsaw and his Nazi Youth the keys to every American tax-payer's private records and info so they could make huge cuts to American tax-payers' retirement income based on "waste, fraud and abuse" they never found!

Really. Boo hoo boo hoo boo hoo boo hoo.

Can you please tell us where you send your donations to keep him from starving before the end of the month so the rest of us can send money to him, too?

Dunno, you tell me?

But what I can tell you, is that white men/womenhad more to do with drug trafficking/smuggling distribution in the U.S. in 2024, than Latin or Swedish immigrants did.

The following U.S. Drug Trafficking data, show an account of convicted drug traffickers in 2024:

80.4% of drug traffickers were U.S. citizens.

84.4% of individuals sentenced for drug trafficking were men.

44.4% were Hispanic, 28.5% were Black, 23.8% were White, and 3.3% were Other races.

45.2% had little or no prior criminal history (Criminal History Category I); 5.9% were career offenders.

https://www.ussc.gov/research/quick-facts/drug-trafficking

Isn't it funny how 80% of U.S. citizens, with almost 24% of white drug traffickers,being responsible for more drug trafficking distribution in the U.S., than the 19% of non-U.S. citizens (ie. tourists, visa jumpers, illegal visitors/over-stayers or immigrants). It's not only funny, but hilarious to the depths MAGA lies will go.

Dig deeper and see if they dare define "white", I don't trust anything coming out of the extremely racist Scumbag Joe Scumbag Harris admin.

How many of those "whites" speak Espanol as a first language? How many of those "blacks" are Espanol speakers from the Carribean or Colombia or Brasil or Venezuela?

BTW its blatantly obvious to all you're obsessed with race because you're an Anti White racist not unlike Hanoi Jane and Goatanus.

And a big thanks for leaving the US.

The impasse between Democrats and Republicans finally came to an end today. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said on Tuesday the 28-day USA Government shutdown could stretch into November, when millions face soaring health insurance costs from expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits raising pressure on lawmakers to resolve the impasse as enrollment begins, however Cuck Scuhmer had a revelation that he says ended the impasse..

It's not only funny, but hilarious to the depths MAGA lies will go.

What point are you trying to prove? Yes, 19% immigrant drug traffickers is extremely high when its still enough illegal drug traffickers killing hundreds of thousands of Americans. Of the 80% who were American, 44% were Hispanic meaning they are very recent immigrants who still have ties to drug cartels. Only 23.8 were white, and remember about mexican history dumbass, those white people are probably still recent immigrants from mexico because mexico itself is 24% white. Not that it even matters, because 19% is still way to high when the overall number kills hundreds of thousands of americans from fentanyl. You are shockingly stupid!

And lets go further. Of the 80% who are American, lets go to pretend land and we will pretend none of them have any family ties to Mexico or they have been here more than two generations, even though many of the 44% Hispanic are still first generation and basically Mexican / Latin American. But we will pretend any way. What country did the 80% USA citizens get the fentanyl and drugs from? Was is Sweden? Was is Norway? Was it U. K? No Spidy! It was Mexico! It was Colombia! It came from somewhere in Latin America.

So if your going to put a policy in place to protect American lives, you remove the illegal immigrants who came from a country that let fentanyl be trafficked through it which is Mexico. It your going to remove people who came here illegally by the tens of millions, those people came at the Mexican border which is why the people getting captured by ice look Mexican!

My god it really is amateur hour in here. How you post this shit and in your little brain you think it makes sense is beyond comprehensible!

Again, how many Europeans came illegally last year? How many tons of fentanyl did they smuggle in? How many tons of cocaine came into USA from Europe last year. Go back to the basement and wasting forum space with this nonsense.

[RamDavidson84]

For all you MAGA suckers and knuckle draggers, out there getting suckered by your MAGA Fuhrer's Epstein Pedo Sex Files (EPSE) subterfuge and racist policies on immigration, let me make the math simple for you.

Keep in mind this is NOT, nor as HARD as, EihTooms's brilliant, thought provoking, impromptu COLA and CPI pop quiz (which as simple as that was, no doubt many of you MAGA failed). You might say, it as simple and easy as singing along to the J5's "ABC, easy as 123..." .

Okay, I'll dumb it down for you MAGA suckers, so please try to keep up now! Here goes:

• If you have 100 million illegal immigrants in America and 10-20 million (or 10-20%), are white and probably mostly Europeans (but not necessarily), then 1 to 2 out of every 10 illegal immigrants, should result in a white immigrant being wrestled to the ground, face-planted in the pavement and deported without due process, if your Fuhrer and MAGA Brownshirts (ICE) really don't have race and racist motives in their implementation of U.S. immigration policies?
  
  That's it pretty simple...right!

So you MAGA suckers, "...Show me the money?" (no wait that Cuba Gooding Jr), just "Show me the numbers", w/r to the white immigrant arrests and deportation, that are proportional (ie. 1-2 out 10), in relation to other immigrants of color and I'll believe your so called, "...race has nothing to do with it!".

Stop wasting forum space with posts that are all fluff and no substance.

There is nothing in this post that has anything to contribute to this Forum.

This is just the ramblings of a sad little player who over played the race card too many times and that Ace up his sleeve no longer holds any value or weight anymore because he was too stupid to play the real cards in his hand which would have actually helped his cause. Screaming racism at people doesn't work anymore, didn't you watch Trump win by land slide in 2024? Get a new "narrative" to tell tell, which is all you are. A fucking joke story teller.

The impasse between Democrats and Republicans finally came to an end today. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said on Tuesday the 28-day USA Government shutdown could stretch into November, when millions face soaring health insurance costs from expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits — raising pressure on lawmakers to resolve the impasse as enrollment begins, however Cuck Scuhmer had a revelation that he says ended the impasse.

"The United States is paying far more in costs for pharmaceutical products than the rest of the world. I reached across the aisle and asked my Republican colleagues if they would consider a swap. The Republicans would allow an increase in subsidies for the poorest of Americans to go through if it is paid for with cuts on the prices the government pays for pharmaceutical products."

Senate Majority Leader John Thune struck a cautionary note. "We still have to have a final vote, but I am optimistic that we now have the votes to pass a budget resolution. I applaud Senator Schumer's vision in coming up with a compromise. Americans need not worry that excessive spending won the day, and Republicans held firm on this key issue. " Senator Thune expressed relief that the budget impasse may be resolved before the busy travel times during the Thanksgiving season.

The devil may be in the details, but our sources say the preliminary Democratic plan is for Congress to set up a committee to review pharmaceutical prices. The price of various medications will be compared to a basket of ten other nations. If drug prices are higher than double the cost of that average, the drug would be placed in an automated review category and negotiations on price would entail. Democrats and Republicans are having an issue with who would set the price of the pharmaceutical products. Democrats want the independent panel to set the prices while Republicans are leaning towards Congressional or executive branch control, and these details still need to be hammered out.

Yet Americans can be thankful that Congressional leaders finally put aside their differences and came up with a common sense plan that earned support in both parties. This was a rare day in Washington where compromise ruled the day.

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said, "It was crazy that we were paying so much more for drugs than other countries. We are taking money out of the hands of the rich and powerful drug companies and putting that money back into the hands of ordinary, hard working Americans. "

Oh, wait. I am sorry. That did not happen. The dumbshit Democratic douches never came up with this idea. I must have done this while sleeping. The dumbshit Democratic douches want us to continue paying 20 x more for drugs than any other country in the world and even higher insurance subsidies. They love pouring money into rich drug and insurance companies. Once more, the dumbshit Democratic want to enrich the rich while claiming they are fighting for the poor.

I thought made it very clear, you'd be the only one paying taxes, since your MAGA billionaires won't

I already quoted an article showing Elon Musk paid upwards of $15 billion on his sale of stock. It is funny how he is theAs problem and not you and all the other parasites taking in trillions. It is always everyone but guys like you and Tooms.

Donald Trumps Support Among Gen Z Eroding,Oct 24th, 2025.

Gee, another poll showing Trump doing badly? Where have we seen that before? This might shock your little pea brain, douche, but Trump is not running in another election.

And the notion that Trump's support is going down does not mean people throwing their weight behind Democrats.

Thirty percent of voters nationwide questioned in a Quinnipiac University survey said they have a favorable opinion of the Democratic Party, and 54% say they hold an unfavorable opinion.

"This is the lowest favorability rating for the Democratic Party since the Quinnipiac University Poll began asking voters this question in 2008," the survey's release noted.

"We do have a brand problem," Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin said in a Fox News Digital interview this summer.

"When you hit rock bottom, there's only one direction to go, and that's up, and that's what we're doing," Martin added.

Out of one side of your pie hole you complain that you're taxed too much and never see any benefit from it

How do I benefit when you and Spidy get my tax dollars and you pay for hookers? The Democratic douche philosophy is to take my money to buy your vote.

you demonize Democrats for trying to give you back something of value for your tax dollars by accusing them of "socialism"

The interest on the debt because of you Democratic douches caused with your paranoid Covid policies is through the roof. https://www.reddit.com/r/economy/com...ments_revenue/

$579 billion in 2025 went to paying interest on the debt. Total revenues were 3. 1 trillion. That is nearly 20%.

Middle-income families receive $1.57 in federal spending for every $1 they pay in federal taxes. However, high-income families receive $0.25 cents in federal spending for every $1 they pay in federal taxes.

Today, whatever government money is being spent on high income families is not being spent via taxes. For the high income family, you Democratic douches are using the credit cards of other generations, keeping most of us what you bought, handing us a few left overs and bragging about how much good you are doing spending our money. I am sorry, but socialism IS spending other people's money.

Their efforts are enslaving the masses, distracting them from your greater goal of giving billionaire loons like Elon Musk deeper tax cuts and bigger subsidies so he can more generously fund his hobby of blowing up rocket ships real good.

Musk made hundreds of millions off the sale of Paypal and had every right to sit at the beach the rest of his life. Instead, he developed Starlink giving the entire world access to the internet, revolutionized the cost of putting satellites in space with reusable rockets, and just today a senior I know today was thrilled with buying a Tesla with it is so called self-driving system making her feel much safer behind the wheel.

As for taxes, these are the estimates of how much Musk paid in 2021, https://fee.org/articles/freeloading...ed-83-billion/.

"The eccentric billionaire (and the world's richest person) likely owes the federal government at least $8. 3 billion for 2021," Forbes reports.

Business Insider projects Musk's tax bill is even higher when state taxes are included.

"Taxes on his stock, nearly a billion in Net Investment Income Tax, and the billions he likely owes California could add up to about $12 billion in total," report Jason Lalljee and Andy Kiersz.

CNBC, meanwhile, figured Musk's total tax bill was even higher—$15 billion.

Whatever Musk's tax bill ends up being, it's worth examining the context of his claim. Musk was not bragging that he had the largest tax bill in history; on the contrary, he was responding to Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who—somewhat unfathomably—lashed out at Musk for not paying his fair share of taxes.

"Let's change the rigged tax code so The Person of the Year will actually pay taxes and stop freeloading off everyone else," Warren tweeted.

You read that correctly. Warren, the progressive lawmaker from Massachusetts, called Musk a freeloader. It's possible that Warren didn't know that Musk is set to pay more in taxes than any American—perhaps human being—in history, but it's more likely she simply does not care and is comfortable peddling the fiction that Musk isn't paying taxes. Warren made this clear in subsequent remarks after Musk had responded to the Senator.

"he's the richest guy in the world, and he just doesn't want to pay taxes," Warren said. "That's what it's all about for me. "

Taking the lowest estimate on what Musk is expected to pay, he'll cough up more in taxes than the entire state of Massachusetts collected in sales and use taxes through the first half of 2021—from its 7 million residents.

Moreover, unlike Warren, who collects a salary from the government, Musk earned much of his wealth by creating value. Tesla employs nearly 80,000 people who've built no fewer than 623,000 energy-efficient cars in 2021 alone. Its market cap is nearly $1 trillion, which has made untold numbers of Tesla employees and shareholders wealthy. Warren, on the other hand, creates nothing. Every dollar of her $174,000 salary—and the money she pays her staff with—comes from funds confiscated from taxpayers. Every dollar she authorizes to be spent was taken from someone else who earned it.

It cracks me up when parasites like you and Elizabeth Warren point a finger at Elon Musk and other high income earners and claim that they are the problem.

Here is a novel idea. Pay for your own blow jobs you effing loser!

So your solution is for younger generations to be happy paying for the BJs of boomer losers like you? You are so full of shit.

I thought made it very clear, you'd be the only one paying taxes, since your MAGA billionaires won't and it's unlikely Gen Z is it, probably won't have jobs (at least in the traditional sense), in this quagmire of a Trumpian era, they'll no doubt inherit.

There would not have been so many layoffs if you boomers were not so greedy with your handouts or so paranoid with Covid. That $20 trillion in Covid debt is so boring to you because you sure as hell are not going to pay for it.

Funny you should bring up, yet another disaster in a recent Trumpian era and period of ineptitude that unfortunately the younger and older generation, has suffered from and today continue to suffer your Fuhrer's shit-show.

The "younger generations" are where you lost it in 2024 and that is not going to get any better. Like I said, all you guys do is demonize Trump in hopes that you can steal from the young especially young men without their noticing. Well, the men have caught on and when more blacks and more women do as well, you douches are toast.

This is who you have in the "younger generation", https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJBkkZ5lG_g

Say what now! Don't forget voters aged 18 to 29 backed Kamala Harris over Trump by just 51 percent to 47 percent in 2024, but yes, down from Biden's 61 percent. However recent trends, show a different story!

Donald Trump’s Support Among Gen Z Eroding, Oct 24th, 2025. The survey, conducted between October 17 and 20, found that just 25 percent of Gen Z respondents approve of Trump’s performance, while 67 percent disapprove — a net approval of –42 points. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trum...oding-10918527

So while it's true, your Fuhrer was able to bamboozle some of the more weak minded youth, who obviously did not pay attention to his disastrous MAGA 1.0 admin shit-show, current trends show and suggests that younger voters, who briefly warmed up to your MAGA Fuhrer in the 2024 election, are once again fading away to the left.

You have no gratitude for those paying your way. Paycheck superhero? Yeah, that says it all. Boomer parasites like you are not just greedy; you are such fucking assholes.

If that's anything like when RamDavidson84, calls your Fuhrer is an asshole, then I guess that could be considered high praise in your toxic MAGA Inbred he-Man Incel circles?

It is funny when others mention cutting benefits to seniors, they respond and do the shame thing, "Do you want us to just die then?" I think I can speak for my and the younger generations in saying, "If this is your attitude, then the answer is yes. "

Now what's with all that talk of hate again, my "Paycheck Superhero" brother?

Yes, 'cause I know your thinking it, there was lots of chuckling in this post, you won't get to see!
