The Economic Impact Of Runaway Immigration

Yesterday The Gateway Pundit posted an article about the impact of mass immigration into Germany and Austria.

The article reports:

Of a million asylum seekers who have come to Germany in recent years, only a fifth has acquired some kind of employment, writes SVT Nyheter. Now, a large majority of Germans consider that immigration policy needs to change. In the elections of Sunday, immigration has become the most important choice.

As many as seven out of ten Germans, the so-called integration after asylum to Germany is far too bad.

Among the newly arrived immigrants, there are very few who have so far brought something to the country.

Of the one million asylum seekers who have come to Germany in recent years, only fifth, or 200,000, have gained employment.

The illegal immigration problem in America looks slightly different. In America, the impact of low-skilled illegal immigrants coming across the border is felt mainly by low-skilled American workers. The migration in America has resulted in downward pressure on wages for all Americans. Illegal immigrants are willing to work for lower wages and generally have a good work ethic. The American Chamber of Commerce supports the flow of illegal immigrants because it keeps the cost of doing business lower for their members. It hurts the American worker, but the Chamber of Commerce unfortunately represents big business rather than the average America. If the unions want to see their members earn higher wages, they need to support controlling our borders and building the wall. That would help end the downward pressure on American wages. As an aside, all immigrants need to be barred from receiving federal assistance for the first five years they are in America. We need to have people coming to America to build their dreams. We all gain when a new immigrant builds a successful business.
