Some Facts on Immigration

There Are Three Kinds of Lies: Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics

Leftist advocacy groups specialize in this to push agendas. Let's see how some of these contradict reality-

The number of Mexicans living in America peaked 15 years ago.

Number of Mexican People in the United States

In this article, we will explore the demographic data of Mexican people in the United States, and look at historical data to see whether the Mexican population is growing or declining.

First, let's take a look at the population of Mexican people in the United States for the last 6 years.

The table above shows that between 2015 and 2020 the total Mexican population has increased by 1,896,741 people.

If this growth were to continue at the same rate, the total population of Mexican people by 2025 could be 38,433,769.

If you choose to transition to all Hispanics-

A crisis of the opposite sort is brewing: a broader decline in immigration
The resulting shortfall in population is already making it harder to find workers and threatens to do more damage to the economy

Declining populations hurt many major countries including China, Japan, many in Europe as well as the US. It creates many problems including supporting social programs that depend on major growth of those paying in for those drawing from. It also creates special problems like infrastructure (medical care, transportation, water, housing, schools, energy, waste, policing) it isn't the free ride open borders pretend it is.

Employers in business services which draws 20% of its employees from foreign-born population could not fill 10% of jobs last year
That in turn contributes to higher wages, with pay rising especially quickly for low-income earners

Wholly dishonest. (likely even more extreme) Immigrants typically lower worker pay.

Aztec Framing owner pleads guilty to recruiting illegal foreign workers

ROME, Georgia (WDEF) – A Georgia businessman who had operations in our area has pleaded guilty to harboring illegal aliens.

Juan Antonio Perez lives in Bartow County.

But he owns Aztec Framing that had offices in Rossville and Hixson.

Those offices were raided in 2019 as part of the investigation.

Investigators say he recruited, hid and hired illegal workers from other countries.

Prosecutors say Perez entered the U.S. illegally, himself, in 1992.

He operated Aztec Framing since 2009 and it made him wealthy.

“The old saying that crime doesn’t pay couldn’t be truer than in this instance. Perez thought his scheme to exploit desperate people looking for work and a better life would go unnoticed, but he was wrong and will now be held accountable,” said Special Agent in Charge Katrina W. Berger, who oversees Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) operations in Georgia and Alabama.

They say he paid his illegal workers below-market rates, offered no benefits or insurance and failed to pay either payroll or Social Security taxes on them.

He earned enough to build a 7,500-square-foot house along with other houses for some of his employees.

Perez owned more than 30 sports cars and customized trucks and collected firearms.

But the state of Georgia has no record of him reporting any income.

Perez pleaded guilty on Wednesday to “knowingly encouraging and inducing aliens to come to, enter, and reside in the United States for the purpose of commercial advantage and private financial gain, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry, and residence in the United States was in violation of law.”

He will be sentenced in October.

Breaking this down, he used cheap immigrant labor to price cut the competition. He did this by paying them low wages. How did competitors survive? (ding, ding, ding) Hopefully you said "they hired illegal migrants for low wages too"! That doesn't raise the pay of workers, it lowers it. After the arrest, companies and consumers immediately raised concern over.......Nailed it- Hiring American workers that would be paid more. That means what to consumers? Higher costs. Yep, workers making more equals consumers paying more. (they have a word for that- consequences) And we haven't even considered the displaced American workers. What do you have for them? How many displaced roofers will be hired at your tech company?

Once you push aside the agenda propaganda, consider the facts on the ground. If endless migrants are so valuable for the country, identify the locations fighting to draw as many as possible. Who is making the plea for Please come here! I have an experience they are far fewer than those who say Go somewhere else!

Everybody is ALWAYS wrong but Tinley.

Yet how many times have you encountered a business that was closed for the day or closing for additional days per week because they can’t find help?

I see it every day. I must be blind

Contradictory.




Thanks.



Businesses that grew and thrived before gov't locked down the economy and closed business and forced terminations. Immigration didn't cause their problems and isn't their savior.




Thanks, again.

I'd believe that if your party didn't constantly make it harder to immigrate. Whether it be either skilled or labor immigrants.

We're definitely capable of doing so. The US already produces enough food to support 400 million people, you could put every one of the new arrivals east of the Mississippi and the population density would simply be equal to Europe.

The only thing necessary to achieve that would be getting deregulate housing and zoning rules.


Though I realize that you're not concerned with whether we "can" do it. So Tinley what sort of immigrants are acceptable to you?

That's not (near) enough concession to save you. Substituting running and hiding for rational, coherent thought isn't helping you either.


You obviously but clearly haven't put much thought into this. "Only thing"? We have water shortage concerns out west. Energy shortages rolling across the country. Every spending bill gets weeks of crying buh, buh, buh, the infrastructure.....and all of that is pushed aside by health care "crisis", schools deteriorating, the rapidly growing homeless increasing can't afford the rising housing costs, the college educated don't want to pay their debts....

Buy you stick with "only thing" keeping endless millions from being added to our country.


I realize you aren't informed and can't be troubled to think this out, but the immigrants I find acceptable are those (and I have many in my circle of friends) who come here legally and can contribute more than they consume.

Your turn- which immigrants are acceptable to you?

Greatly reduce parking minimum requirements in lieu of better public transportation and better city planning. Remove height restrictions on buildings (but not too high, sky scrapers for housing have diminishing returns), and adjusting restrictive lot minimums mostly.

I assume you don't believe that I'd want to eliminate all parking, especially handicap parking.  Nor do you think that I want to have tall buildings in front of airport taxi lanes.  Not sure why that would need mentioning.


Especially the parking minimums are out of control.  When there is a massive parking requirement for every business it only makes problems worse.  Obviously it takes up more space which otherwise could be built up.  As well as put more distance between destinations, which creates more vehicle traffic necessity, which creates more demand for parking... I'm sure you see the problem here.


This atrocity is what we're trying to avoid.

Because public transit, walking, and just being smarter with locations in relation to residents and work is superior to massive parking lots in which a good portion of each large parking lot can be done away with or made into a parking garage. Which like I said only makes the problem worse.

Weird. Wonder why not working is better for some than actually working? But we need illegal immigration.
