Donald Trump Will Blow A Gasket When He Sees These Numbers …

… AND THEN USE THEM TO EXPAND HIS LEAD

|| By FITSNEWS ||   Earlier today we wrote on a shocking takeaway from last month’s government jobs report – namely that foreign-born workers gained 204,000 positions while native-born workers lost nearly 700,000 jobs.  Since the beginning of the recession, the foreign-born count stands at plus 2.1 million – a number that’s nearly three times the 790,000 increase among U.S.-born workers.

Well guess what … there’s more.

According to a report released earlier this year from the uber-liberal Brookings Institution, there’s additional historical context for these numbers.

From 1990-2013, “US-born men without a high school degree have seen a dramatic reduction in their employment rate – from 72 to 58 percent,” the report found.  Not only that, “the fall was also dramatic for the share working full-time and year-round, sliding from 54 to 42 percent” over the same time period.

Ready for the flip side of that coin?

“In sharp contrast, the employment rate of immigrant men without a high school degree rose from 80 to 87 percent, and the share working full-time and year-round rose from 57 to 66 percent,” the report found.

Wow …

So to recap (ahem, policy makers): Government-run Education + Open Borders = Massive Jobs Fail.

Now does anyone think billionaire businessman Donald Trump – who has made comprehensive immigration reform a centerpiece of his campaign – can work with those numbers?  We do … not unlike the numbers previously generated by other liberal think tanks.

Here’s the thing: As non-fire breathers on immigration, we’ve been quick to point out that opening the borders to some degree can be beneficial to the economy (and that all of us, on some level, are immigrants).  We’ve also pointed out there were a lot of jobs U.S.-born Americans simply refused to do.

But let’s not forget government’s ongoing incentivizing of dependency among able-bodied U.S. workers … as it incentivizes illegal immigration.

Seriously: What did they think was going to happen?

You need a college degree for positions that people with only a HS diploma held decades ago. What type of job does a HS dropout think they are going to find anyway? A contractor who does work around my house, has had a revolving door of white workers. Asked him if the turnover was due to pay and he said no, that they stay for awhile and then don’t want to do the hard work anymore. He told me he was attempted to go the (illegals) day laborer route.

None of this surprising and is fully predictable, given the falling incomes of the middle class. The minimum wage is way less today than it was 40 years ago. Americans cannot afford to work for minimum wage any more. And before anyone says you are not supposed to be able to survive at minimum wage, that is not true. The minimum wage was intended to be a living wage, from the beginning.

The policies of the GOP has always been directed at reducing the cost of labor for large corporations and wealthy donors. They have refused to allow the minimum wage to keep pace with inflation, they have done all they can to bust up unions, they have encouraged the hiring of illegal aliens by blocking any attempt to severely punish employers who do so, and they have encourage outsourcing of jobs through free trade agreements. Only the duped class does not understand why the disparity in wealth between rich and everyone else is highest it has been since the early days fo the industrial revolution. Look to your Republican Senator and Representative for the answer.

Well I apologize if I offended you regarding Krugman. It’s true, I don’t like him much. Setting aside the read meat that gets your attention, my central point is that FITS has never supported raising taxes, increasing revenue to government, and other progressive economic policies as advocated by Trump. (Not to mention other offenses to the individual liberty and the Constitution.) Now Trump comes along, one of the nation’s most prolific crony capitalists comes along, and people that once called themselves Conservatives or promoted free market policies, and they’re all in with Krugman for Trump’s progressive politics.

The Republican establishment is pro-illegal immigration. They have no desire to do anything to disrupt the flow of cheap/controllable labor to their employers i.e. donors.

Illegal Aliens and Private Employment

Reply
New Sheriff In Town September 8, 2015 at 2:39 pm

Many businesses have attempted to classify workers as independent contractors when they were, in fact, employees. Many businesses have been put out of business by the Internal Revenue Service for doing so. If you make this misclassification and the IRS audits you, they will perform the reclass to employee and recalculate the taxes you should have withheld, calculate interest and penalties, possibly hit you and any other responsible party with the 100 percent penalty, and bill you for all of the above. It won’t matter if the contractor paid the taxes or not. If they did, you will have to find them and prove that they did in order to receive credit for taxes they paid. The IRS will assume that the contractor/employees paid none of their taxes. The end result of such a reclassification is usually more than a business can bear and you can expect absolutely no mercy!

Apples and Oranges
Can’t you look a little deeper into the numbers. There is a big difference in the quality of employees who did not have a HS diploma 25 years ago than now. There were a lot of quality older men in 1990 who did not have the same opportunities as men today. You have to be near the bottom of the barrel today if you are under fifty and don’t have a HS diploma.

Also the older you are the less likely you are to have a HS diploma. Many of them are not employed because they are retired.

The numbers are also skewed because there is half as many HS dropouts as 25 years ago. So the unemployment rate has doubled on half the number of people represents level unemployment for the entire population.

Finally, a lot quality immigrants didn’t not have our opportunity for a diploma as we do, but make good workers, unlike native dropouts.
