Obama: Immigration action will boost wages, increase tax revenue

He must be out of his mind. Adding 5 million to compete against Americans for the scarce jobs there are is a good thing?

He's imagining they won't just continue to work for cash under the table. What an idiot! MUCH more lucrative to keep the entire week's pay than to have to pony up for Federal Income Tax, SS, and Medicare. Employers would make out better if they don't have to pay their share of payroll taxes, too.

Are not the vast majority of the 5 million already in the labor pool? Therefore they are already competing for jobs.

And they are already not paying taxes while collecting benefits. Why do the idiots who are pro-illegals think that this will suddenly change? They are already law breakers, so what is one more law?

I could think of some reasons, but I would not be able to put them in writing.

Obama's statement is on par with his claim that Obamacare will save $2,500/year per household. And half the country still lap up his lies.

Yes, many are. However, Obama has now made it possible for them to continue to work without fear of deportation. Those not working will get work permits. Americans need the jobs they are holding and they don't need further competition from low waged foreigners.

It's also on par with Nancy Pelosi saying that unemployment insurance was a stimulus for the economy and that Obamacare would free people up to pursue their passions.

None of this matters anymore. I hoped years ago that someone somehow somewhere would force these idiots to change course. That is not gonna happen. The only important thing now is what happens in 2016.
