Funbazooka 06/23/18 4:05:21 PM #7:	Washington Post article Why do we need more people in this country, anyway? https://tinyurl.com/y6u2b4m8 One side has made sure that there is no debate. Good people want more immigration, and bad people object or raise questions. An inherently political issue has been effectively rendered religious, with the righteous on one side, sinners on the other. Economists in league with big business got good at torturing data to show that immigration benefits the economy. But as demonstrated by Harvard Universitys George Borjas, one of the nations leading economists on the topic, immigration is a net economic benefit to immigrants and to their employers. To workers already here, not so much. No matter, because the Democrats are no longer the party of labor. Back when they were in the prelapsarian Clinton years they sought tight labor markets precisely for their efficacy in boosting lower-end wages. But todays Democrats are the party of high class, high tech and high capital. This glamour coalition is not big enough by itself to win elections. So the left has hoodwinked some (but, as the 2016 election shows, by no means all) low-income voters into thinking that their interests align with those of Wall Street and Silicon Valley oligarchs. Its clear what the oligarchs get out of an endless influx of cheap labor. What the Democratic Party gets is also clear: more voters, and with them the tantalizing possibility of turning the country as irreversibly blue as Democratic policies have already done to New York, California and many other states. Democrats used to be coy about this. The 2002 blockbuster The Emerging Democratic Majority, by John B. Judis, presented demographic change as an inevitability, not a deliberate plot to rig elections. But now, for the first time facing real pushback from those whose interests more immigration does not serve, the left is more open in exhorting their side and demonizing the other. Hence this years How Democracies Die, by Steven Levitsky, states openly that immigration favors Democrats, so the more the better. It also construes any opposition as (of course) racist. Another argument for more people is to point to falling birthrates among the native-born. In fact, the United States remains near the top of birthrates in the developed world. Regardless, consider that immigration not only lowers wages but also raises housing prices by increasing demand and stresses public schools by adding non-English-speaking students. And as such factors worsen, research suggests that people are putting off marriage which reduces birthrates. Related is the claim that more people are necessary to solve our looming entitlement crisis. This quickly falls apart once you think it through. In 1967, future Nobel laureate Paul Samuelson favorably compared Social Security to a Ponzi scheme, arguing that it will be sustainable because younger people will always outnumber retirees. But does anyone really believe the United States or any country is capable of sustaining population growth without end? Somehow, the United States needs to find a way to meet its fiscal commitments without stuffing the land beyond the bursting point. So again: Why do we need more people? For the extra traffic congestion? More crowded classrooms? Longer emergency room and Transportation Security Administration lines? Higher greenhouse-gas emissions? We know how more immigration benefits big business and the Democratic Party. No one has yet convincingly explained how it benefits the American people as a whole. Thats the foremost consideration that should drive our immigration debate, and thats what should determine our immigration policy. --- "Don't trade your authenticity for approval." -Kanye West <cite>Funbazooka posted [p:903829348] in Why are pe...
