Allowing more illegal immigrants has been a net positive

We faced runaway inflation due to a fed that misjudged it as transitory. It was being most felt at hourly jobs. Many businesses couldn’t even find people who were willing to do the work.

Doesn’t it make sense to allow more illegal immigrants into the country to help manage inflation? They will perform work that most Americans won’t be willing to perform and do so at a lower cost. Not only that, but they commit crimes at a lower rate than American citizens.

Would you rather us let in more illegal immigrants or see interest rates go up another percent or two?

No.

Hope this answer helps.

Tying inflation to illegal immigration … that’s a interesting troll

The guy at the Ingle's in Travelers Rest over the weekend had some very different ideas about the "ugly foreigners taking over our country."

I'll now weigh your arguments against his and decide where I stand.

You understand wages are determined by supply and demand, right? There was no supply of hourly workers so those wages were skyrocketing. Add more workers and that helps stop wage inflation.

Care to argue how this hasn’t helped contain inflation without putting the American economy in serious jeopardy?

You understand

You should have stopped right there.

Supply of workers was lower because of Covid stimulus. Demand stayed the same or increased. Wages increase. Add to supply and wage increases slow/stop.

If you want any more I suggest you pay for an education.

Hoopla app. Aka audio books from the library

Thomas Sowell. Basic Economics
Timothy Taylor. The instant econmist

2 outstanding books on economics. Every month I renew these 2 and have listened to them for a few years now.

EVERY AMERICAN should listen or read these
