Joe Biden: U.S. needs ‘constant, unrelenting stream’ of immigrants
By Cheryl K. Chumley

Wednesday, June 11, 2014

Vice President Joseph R. Biden told a National Association of Manufacturers’ crowd this week that what the United States needed was more, not fewer, immigrants.

Specifically, he called for a “constant, unrelenting stream” of new immigrants — “not dribbling [but] significant flows,” to bolster the national economy, The Hill reported.

“We need it badly from a purely — purely economic point of view,” Mr. Biden said, The Hill reported.

Later, on Twitter, he wrote: “The final thing we need to do together is pass immigration reform … We need it badly. -VP at manufacturing summit,” Newsmax reported.

Mr. Biden predicted that opening the doors to the White House’s vision of immigration reform, which is heavy on the amnesty, would allow the nation’s gross domestic product numbers to hike by 5.4 percent, or $1.4 trillion, over the next two decades, Newsmax reported. Simultaneously, he predicted that the deficit would drop by $850 billion.

“That’s real powerful economic reform,” Mr. Biden said.

This seems to be the model the West will be taking to boost economic growth with US leadership.

    The U.S has a land mass 40 times as great as the UK but a population only five times greater than the UK. (312.2 million vs 63.2 million)

    It has an unemployment rate of 6.2% meaning that roughly 19.4 million Americans are unemployed.

    It seems that Politicians in America do not get it either when it comes to mass immigration.

    It's because of the system of money we have where you need more and more new borrowers to prop up existing borrowing. That's why the EU has free movement of people, why America has high immigration and why we allow immigration not only from the EU but from commonwealth countries too. It suits bankers and big business so that's what the world gets. Don't anybody think it's political, it's the wishes of those who are truly in control.

    Probably a lot more than 19.4 million, if those people who just gave up looking are not counted in the statistics.

    Extract from "After America" by Mark Steyn:

    For the corporate right, undocumented immigrants mean cheap labor. For the statist left, they mean dependents – and cheap votes. For sentimentalists in between, it's an act of ethnocultural penance: hence, the Cinco de Mayo observances in schoolhouses up and down the land. The left are right. Big Government centralists don't mind about the costs Undocumented America imposes, because in the main it imposes them on states, cities and school districts – and thus makes previously self-sufficient branches of government ever more dependent on central authority. And just as Big Government doesn't care about the impact on local government, Big Business doesn't care about the impact of illegal labor on small business. This is a recipe for civil strife, if not, ultimately, civil war.

    The corporate right wanted open borders for cheap workers in part because the statist left has made American workers too expensive: you can ship manufacturing jobs to cheaper labor overseas, but it's not so easy with hotel chambermaids and seasonal agricultural workers. Meanwhile, the statist left favored open borders as a way of importing voters: Untold millions of poor, ill-educated people with little English would need government services, and untold hundreds of thousands of bureaucrats would need to be hired to service them...

    The left was smarter than the right: The business class told itself it was importing hardworking families who just want a shot at the American Dream. But welfare mocks the Ellis Island virtues, upending them as easily as the shattered Statue of Liberty Charlton Heston stumbled across in the sands of a ruined planet. In an America with ever bigger government and ever poorer people, the dependency rationale for illegal immigration will win out over the business rationale. Seventy per cent of births at the San Joaquin General Hospital in Stockton, California are the so-called "anchor babies" born to illegals. In related news, by 2010 Stockton had a deficit of $25 million. Same thing at Dallas General: Seventy per cent of newborns are "anchor babies". Seven out of ten isn't any kind of "minority"; it's the dominant culture of America's tomorrow.

    Maybe we could send all ours over there.

    Really? I think Britain might be able to help you out there, can you provide transport and visas?

    How can a nation consisting almost entirely of immigrants argue against it?
