People living in poverty in America
Since the unwed mother angle of the thread below got started when someone cited Social Programs as a great way to eliminate poverty I thought I would toss out the question. What impact of allowing millions of illiterate, and low skilled into this country, many of them illegally, do you think has on the poverty rate of this country and what impact do you think these low skilled immigrants have on the existing wage base for low skilled American workers?
Do you think these existing workers are helped in their quest to get themselves out of poverty with this influx of immigrants or are they hurt by it?

1) there's been a net zero migration the last 10 years.
2) most illegals enter the country legally first then overstay their Visa.
3) the number of legal immigrants we allow each year is about 60,000.
Ok?
Since 2000, legal immigrants to the United States number approximately 1,000,000 per year, of whom about 600,000 are Change of Status who already are in the U.S. Legal immigrants to the United States now are at their highest level ever, at just over 37,000,000 legal immigrants.

Hondo is full of shit.
The vast majority (about 80 percent) are tourist visas that are good for people to come and go up to six months at a time over a five-to-10-year period. People with tourist visas are almost always not allowed to the work in the U.S.
There are also temporary visas for students, diplomats, members of the media, fiancés, religious workers, victims of crime and more.
Another large group in the nonimmigrant category are employment visas. These can be transfers to the U.S. within international companies (70,000) and their families (86,000) and low-skilled seasonal workers (220,000).

This chart tracks the number of people who annually are granted legal permanent residence (also known as getting a green card). Green-card holders are permitted to live and work in the country indefinitely, to join the armed forces, and to apply for U.S. citizenship after five years (three if married to a U.S. citizen).
Foreign students and diplomats aren't granted permanent legal residence. You're either a liar or a fucking moron. Take your pick Hondo.
Fuck off.
Don't feel bad Hondo, you were only off by 940,000. Hell and I didn't even bother to check any of the other bullshit numbers you tossed out there I just knew immediately that you 60K number was complete bullshit. You net zero migration claim is also a fucking lie.
Btw, Nice touch with that lie about my number including tourist and temporary visa numbers. You've got a couple of other fellow liberal dipshits here that probably swayed.
Nobody wants uncontrolled immigration; but I find it terrible interesting that the people so obsessed with that issue are relatively quiet about the much bigger problem of the welfare state. The toothless hillbilly in Arkansas is a toothless hillbilly because he and his family suck; it has nothing to do with Pablo.
You also assume that immigration is zero/sum for domestic workers. It's not.
This country's system is based on competition; it is not meant to function on irrational guarantees of work and wages. If you want to pay people $55k a year + benies to pick fruit then you put up your capital and do it and quit whining.
Finally, if you're going to ask rhetorical questions, try and make them less obvious.
I'm quiet about the problems with the welfare state? You know me so fucking well its spooky
As it relates to protecting American workers and wages from competitive labor, put up your own capital to the 'problem' and then get back to me. Until then, I'm not interested in the question.
yes i own 500 slaves so what
