[QUOTE="watdaflock?, post: 3836371, member: 53239"] That is complete Bull crap and is just another lie spewed on Faux news. You have zero legit evidence, that immigration causes any drain on our economy or to us socially. "Over the long haul, the presence of immigrants significantly benefits the economy. Areas with more historical immigration now have higher incomes, lower poverty and unemployment, and greater levels of educational attainment and urbanization. The magnitude of the results was striking: if a county that experienced no immigration during this period had instead experienced median levels of immigration, residents today would have a 20 percent higher per capita income. It is also not the case that immigrants benefit the economy in the long term but hurt it in the short term. In fact, immigrants during the age of mass migration increased industrialization and agricultural productivity soon after arriving in the United States. The arrival of these new Americans also spurred innovation — greater levels of immigration, the researchers found, correlated with higher rates of patenting. However, in the short term, counties with greater levels of immigration did see a dip in average educational attainment. Like today, immigrants during the age of mass migration were less educated than the locals. They were also eager to take advantage of the increased economic opportunity they found in the United States, and more likely to choose work over school. But this decrease in education did not persist over the long term. Within one generation of the beginning of mass immigration flows, areas with more historical immigration had higher levels of educational attainment." [/QUOTE]
