Add more illegal aliens to improve economy

Legalizing the status of the roughly 12 million undocumented immigrants living in America would create jobs, increase wages and boost the sagging U.S. economy, according to a study released Thursday.

The study by UCLA associate professor Raul Hinojosa-Ojeda found that citizenship and flexible limits on legal immigration would serve future labor demands and boost wages for native-born workers.

"Immigration has a positive effect on the economy," Hinojosa-Ojeda told reporters, saying legalizing undocumented immigrants already in the United States could add $1.5trillion to the gross domestic product over the next 10 years.

Yes, that man is teaching our children.

If you just ignore the fact that for every illegal alien's job meant that one less citizen had one.... and if you ignore the fact that as soon as they become citizens they will bring in 15 family members.... and if you ignore that increased competition for the same job brings wages down not up... Well, yes. If you ignore those facts....

The Commentator's Comment Award 1-8-10

It has been awhile since I gave out one of these. I mean this isn't the Nobel Peace Prize where I'll give it to just any old dictator or President. No, they must be worthy.

And just to show you the 'net isn't all about politics, I give you this from the Des Moines Register.

In Response to Plus Equals Minus:

These fat girls or plus size as some prefer to call them, are not appealing or cheap to house. Expenses can range from large grocery bills to frequent replacement of broken furniture. They are able to keep warm in this weather with all the insulation. In the summer they lay around eat and sweat all day. This is so when the cold weather get's here they can live off the body fat and stay warm. There are a few men who find these lard butts attractive. Not I. If you are one who keeps a large barge at home then you have my sympathy.

Obama quote of the day for 1-8-10

I can make a firm pledge, under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.

And the check's in the mail, the Beamer's paid for, I'll respect you in morning and I'm from the government and I'm here to help you.
