MIGRATION POLICY INSTITUTE: Only about 18-20% of these immigrants come for work.

There has never been this much LEGAL immigration to the United States, nor for so long a period.

Since 1989 legal immigration has averaged 1,000,000 a year. For many of these years LEGAL immigration has topped 1.2 million.

There has never been this much LEGAL immigration to the United States, nor for so long a period.

Since 1989 legal immigration has averaged 1,000,000 a year. For many of these years LEGAL immigration has topped 1.2 million.

Only about 18-20% of these immigrants come for work. 

The current administration has brought down legal immigration, and they expect to reduce it overall by 33-50%. Congress has to act, though. They must pass Chip Roy's PAUSE Act and stop all immigration until the system is rebuilt.

WHITE PAPERS POLICY INSTITUTE: [Legal] Immigrants can bring in their spouses, unmarried children under 21, married children of any age, their parents, and their siblings. All of these individuals can then sponsor their own families.

Most legal immigration to America is not for workers. It's chain migration.

In any given year 65-70% of immigrants come on a family sponsorship. About 85% of all family sponsorships are from immigrants themselves, not native-born Americans.

Oh, and most have access to the welfare system. 

ZARATHUSTRA: If a massive share of tech and software jobs are headed for extinction in the coming years, as the leading figures in AI openly say that they are, and millions of other white-collar jobs across the economy are about to be automated as well, why are we still pretending there is some pressing “need” for H1Bs and other “skilled” immigration?

The H1B issue should outrage every parent in America.

If a child cannot find a good job he cannot buy a home, is less likely to marry, less likely to have a family, smaller savings, his contributions to Social Security will be lower.

H1Bs are ruinous for young Americans. https://t.co/t2m29n0GBa

from Zarathustra,

Immigration enthusiasts have not updated their talking points for the world we are actually entering. If a massive share of tech and software jobs are headed for extinction in the coming years, as the leading figures in AI openly say that they are, and millions of other white-collar jobs across the economy are about to be automated as well, why are we still pretending there is some pressing “need” for H1Bs and other “skilled” immigration? There is no “need”. It does not exist.

If you want to talk about narrow carveouts for the genuinely singular, once-in-a-generation Werner Von Braun outliers who can do what no one in America can, fine. That is a different conversation. It is also not the one being used to justify mass inflows.

Chickens were never meant to be eaten, they were meant to give us eggs. Up until big corporate farms came along telling us that chicken is healthy for us, chickens used to run around farms providing eggs. When the chicken didn't lay anymore, they were slaughtered. The meat was so tough and lean that many farmers fed it to their dogs or pigs. Now, big corporate farms force a rapid growth on chickens to produce more meat, pump them full of who knows what, mass produce it for grocery stores, then tell us it's a health food. Chickens are only good for one thing - eggs.

Red meat is best
