‘Massive benefit’: Immigration surge set to boost U.S. economy by $7 trillion

21

The Congressional Budget Office predicts that the GDP of the U.S. economy is going to be boosted by $7 trillion over the next ten years due to the surge in immigration. “If you care about the growth of the U.S. economy and more deeply about the strength of our country as a whole—we should be grateful for our immigration rates and find ways to make paths into this great country more orderly and humane.”

  1. Of course! We exploit their labor native born refuse to do! Decedents of immigrants that everyone has a problem with immigration? If it weren’t for immigration for centuries the immigration dislikers wouldn’t be here!

  2. So are you saying that all along the US has been doing it the wrong way by limiting immigration?

    Did Obama do wrong by DEPORTING 5.5 million illegal immigrants?

    If immigration is so good, why as the MSM whining about the GOP blocking the "Border Bill" just a few weeks back?

    The video is obviously thinking people are dumb by not clarifying or differencing between LEGAL and ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.

    But we are at an inflection point: (to settle before election season)

    Will one side really argue that the current situation in the Southern Border is actually beneficial to the US?

    Because if yes, then they should be consistent and actually argue and propose to take down the barriers/walls/fences along the border so that we can benefit even more.

  3. This is like saying the economy is improving lately and immigration of 10 million illegals is the reason. If true, then the economy is being helped by hotter temperatures in the climate and gun sales that have increased. anything that will sell socialism is fair game for these jingo journalists

  4. " it is true that the illegals have created some stresses on social systems ……. He is good at reading the teleprompter. Social stresses. Crime, housing, etc. This guys talking points were written by his political supervisors. AGAIN if you believe that crminals should be set free, that free housing and food and cars should go to illegals first, then please vote Democrat. Remember Crime pays
