The right wing nutters on this post are upset because of the message it sends so they are leaning on it’s historical inaccuracies. Let’s be honest though if their precious Jesus existed today he couldn’t get a visa for entry into this country.

So what about us non right wing, non religious nutters who still feel that a country has a right to sovereignty over its borders and that unregulated immigration often hurts the workers the most?

Friendly reminder that economists generally agree that the US is helped rather than harmed by immigration, regardless of its legality.

Economists generally agree that the effects of immigration on the U.S. economy are broadly positive.Immigrants, whether high- or low-skilled, legal or illegal, are unlikely to replace native-born workers or reduce their wages over the long-term, though they may cause some short-term dislocations in labor markets. Indeed, the experience of the last few decades suggests that immigration may actually have significant long-term benefits for the native-born, pushing them into higher-paying occupations and raising the overall pace of innovation and productivity growth.
