Foreign-Born Population In The U.S. Has Dropped An Astounding 1 Million In Only 6 Months....A Major Reason For Trump's Horrible Job Numbers

[RIP U.S. Democracy]

Trump and MAGAs love being tough on brown people, but it comes with a steep price. The simple fact is that Trump is hurting the economy with his brutal war on illegal immigrants.

From the article below. --

The president’s crackdown on illegal immigration, including workplace raids like the one at a Hyundai plant in Georgia on Friday, is driving down the availability of foreign-born workers, which also weighs on hiring. Over the first six months of the year, the nation’s foreign-born population fell by more than 1 million, according to the Pew Research Center.

Trump’s tougher immigration policy, coupled with the effects of societal aging, are reducing potential monthly job growth by more than 100,000 hires, according to Barclays.

The birth rate in the U.S. is 1.6 per woman. The rate required to maintain our population at the present level is 2.1 per woman. Let's discourage immigration.

Unfortunately, we are enveloped in another era of particularly brutal nativism.

Everything is secondary to the main game of purifying the population.

And it is destroying this country.

Immigration is GOOD.

And labor should be able to cross international borders with the exact same ease that capital crosses borders.

Once the garbage is flushed from the White House and Congress, we need to open up both permanent immigration and transient immigration for the purposes of work, screening only for criminals and terrorists.

It's also causing a major brain drain at our universities.

Some of the brightest scientists and college students from all over the world used to come to our country to study at our universities and then work here for extended periods of time on visas. Those days are now over.

Trump is the worst thing to happen to this country since the Civil War. That is not an exaggeration.

Well, mebbe immigration could do it.

I would postulate that additional hetero screwing right here in America might do the trick too. Y'all just need to feel the urge.

Feeling the urge is not the problem. Affording child care is a problem. No paid parental leave is a problem.

 

[bythoughts]

I'm not sure I buy this argument. From the point of view of an American, doesn't that mean that there are 1000000 fewer "unemployment openings" available? It would be like making a million jobs, except most of the jobs vacated probably suck. But I don't actually know that.

Saw an item a month ago applications to Canadian universities by American students are up 400%

It appears many question whether many current colleges will remain in businesses or be able to teach what they believe to be true.

The birthrate is never going to return to a sustainable level. It is an axiom that as a country evolves, its birthrate plummets. Japan, China and other nations know this all to well.

Immigration is the only solution.

In 2023, the population was 334 million. Now it's 342 million. That's 2 years. Does that strike you as wise, that rate of population increase??

Yes, many European countries and Japan, as you mention, have very low birth rates. Centuries old towns in Italy are half abandoned and the government is paying immigrants to move into existing houses, maintain them, and start businesses.

Well, that depends. If the increase is due to white people making more babies then I would imagine it would be fantastic.
However, it the population increase is due to colored people making more babies, or immigrants who aren't white coming into the country, then it is a disaster.
I am SURE you would agree with THAT assessment, amirite?

Trouble is, too many men with THAT kind of attitude have become undesirable to women, so rightwing fruitcakes are finding it harder and harder (excuse the pun) to find a woman who would feel the urge to be with them.

That's as it should be

Barely over 1% per year? Yeah that's not an issue.

 

[j brown's body]

That's as it should be

Because job growth is bad?

Good !!!!!

So much for being "all for legal immigration."

Illegal

Illegal

Do you understand that "foreign-born workers" is a statistic that is referencing legal immigrants?

The OP is about illegal aliens

It's very much an issue. We can't afford population increases anymore, not environmentally, not materially, not in terms of wildlife habitat, not in terms of the economy, of energy usage and not in terms of overall quality of life. We need LESS, not more

 

[Logophile]

Yes, but that's just the tip of the iceberg

Oh....you pretend to care about the environment? After Trump's ongoing destruction of the EPA?

What a ****ing joke.
