Economist Eric Rasmusen of the University of Indiana has written what he calls an "informal paper" called, “How Immigration Can Hurt a Country”.
Show me any other Senators doing this:
There's talk about amending the Schumer-Rubio immigration bill to fund a "border surge," like the short-term escalation in Iraq known as "the surge."
Of course, the notion of a "surge" against illegal immigration gives away the game: the elites are thinking about a brief change to delude the rubes so they can then get back to business as usual when the economy finally picks up and wages threaten to rise.
Resisting illegal immigration has to be permanent.
Senator Jeff Sessions took the floor Thursday with a simple list of broken pledges from the Gang of Eight, showing the bad faith of the legislation which was negotiated in secret at the behest of business, ethnic and Democrat special interests.
Broken Promises of Senate bill:
The Slowdown in the Economic Assimilation of Immigrants: Aging and Cohort Effects Revisited Again
George J. Borjas
NBER Working Paper No. 19116
Issued in June 2013
This paper uses data drawn from the 1970-2010 decennial Censuses to examine the evolution of immigrant earnings in the U.S. labor market.
Jack Cashill reports in WND:
In a case filled with anomalies, chalk up one more: Unless one of the six chosen jurors is booted from the case, George Zimmerman will have an all female jury.
With all the media sob stories about the supposed travails of illegal aliens, it’s refreshing to see a tiny bit of attention focused on legal immigrants. Law-abiding entrants get little respect from Washington elites and campaign consultants, even after the people who came the right way have spent tens of thousands of dollars to pursue immigration.
For example, the formerly Canadian Sweazey family, pictured below, spent $45,000 to become Americans.
For over 13 years, despite the Left and the fake Right of Conservatism, Inc. waging war on him, Peter Brimelow has walked tall, rather than cringe and submit, unlike so many others (Jim DeMint, James Watson, Larry Summers, et al.).Kathy Shaidle writes:
Ann Coulter notes her column today what we’ve noted here about “Homegrown terrorism”—it’s not really homegrown, it’s mostly imported.
John Hoeven of North Dakota and Bob Corker of Tennessee are trying to write in some kind of figleaf border security legislation into the Amnesty/Immigration Surge bill. I'm listening to Rush Limbaugh now, and he's pointing out that a 700-mile fence bill was passed in 2006. 36 miles have been built:
Immigration agents say border security deal not good enough
By Stephen Dinan
The Washington Times
June 20, 2013 "
It looks like the Steve King/ Tea Party anti-Amnesty/ Immigration Surge demonstration worked despite Washington Watcher's fears:
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is feeling the heat as potential GOP allies are now turning against his immigration reform bill.
Everybody talks about Big Data nowadays, but I never see mentioned one straightforward use: real estate investing.
The police have slowly been ramping up their information technology over the last 25 years to look for "crime hot spots," as recommended by Bill Bratton.
Can you use this data for real estate investing purposes? Scan the data for "crime cold spots"—low crime blocks in low cost neighborhoods—because they might be promising for gentrifying.
In the June, 2013 issue of The American Spectator, Peter Hitchens opens his article, Revenge of the Fruitcakes, with:
H/T One Old Vet
If the MSM were not so flagrantly biased on the immigration issue and the 2013 Amnesty/Immigration Acceleration bill, the CBO report The Economic Impact of S. 744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act would immediately be seen as a lethally double-edged sword for the Treason Lobby.
The bad news did appear briefly: Estimate shows wages would drop under Senate immigration bill, despite economic uptick June 19, 2013 FoxNews.com
… a new analysis that shows …the average American wage would drop, and not recover for more than a decade…It would affect lower- and higher-skilled workers more than those in the middle of the spectrum.
(Take that, recent College graduates!)
Further, the changes would “cause the unemployment rate to be slightly higher for several years.”
Needless to say, Senator Jeff Sessions got it
"The wages of U.S. workers -- which should be growing -- will instead decline," Sessions
- Slim's company, America Movil (comprised of Telmex and Telcel), has nearly 75 percent of the TOTAL Mexican telecommunications system – from telephone landlines to mobile telephone services.2 ...
This is the redoubtable Ann Coulter referencing Peter Brimelow's Time To Rethink Immigration in WND:
Historically, immigration has helped America – why is it now hurting our country?
That’s nonsense!
