They can’t. If we had a Wall, they wouldn’t even try!"]]> 2019-05-09 17:07:53 UTC https://padlet.com/austin_gunnell/5g6do97pb4q1/wish/358580673 austin_gunnell https://padlet.com/austin_gunnell/5g6do97pb4q1/wish/358581956 On Dec. 18, he said it was "more than $200 billion per year." At a bill signing event on Dec. 20, he said, "Illegal immigration costs our nation $275 billion a year." "It sounds extraordinarily high to me," said Meg Wiehe, deputy director at the nonpartisan Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP). There was an estimated cost done around undocumented immigrants. The cost of services received minus their tax contributions was about $54 billion a year.]]> 2019-05-09 17:10:39 UTC https://padlet.com/austin_gunnell/5g6do97pb4q1/wish/358581956 austin_gunnell https://padlet.com/austin_gunnell/5g6do97pb4q1/wish/358583145 In our opinion, President Trump tweets regarding immigration are misleading. We understand that President Trump wants illegal immigrants to stop coming into our country illegally but Trump needs to realize that the incorrect statistics he is tweeting about them are hurting his reputation & image, along with the United States image. The tweets that President Trump sends out hurt our country by giving the idea that our country is becoming weaker along with our government policies. However, these tweets can help lead our country towards getting a better leader that can take initiative towards their job.]]> 2019-05-09 17:13:18 UTC https://padlet.com/austin_gunnell/5g6do97pb4q1/wish/358583145 savaughn_anderson https://padlet.com/austin_gunnell/5g6do97pb4q1/wish/358587295 When the supply of workers goes up, the price that firms have to pay to hire workers goes down. Wage trends over the past half-century show that a 10 percent increase in the number of workers with a particular set of skills probably lowers the wage of that group by at least 3 percent. Even after the economy has fully adjusted, those skill groups that received the most immigrants will still offer lower pay relative to those that received fewer immigrants. Both low- and high-skilled natives are affected by the influence of immigrants. But because a large percentage of immigrants have few skills, it is low-skilled American workers, including many blacks and Hispanics, who have suffered most from this wage dip.  Immigrants receive government assistance at higher rates than natives as well. The higher cost of all the services provided to immigrants and the lower taxes they pay inevitably implies that on a year-to-year basis immigration creates a fiscal hole of at least $50 billion, a burden that falls on the native population.
