Why Won't They Say It's Amnesty + Immigration Surge?

Snip

Naturally, most public attention is focused on the amnesty provisions. And they are truly outrageous.

But the increase in legal immigration (http://www.vdare.com/posts/magnificent-ann-coulter-column-on-immigrant-mass-murder-syndrome) is the real kicker here. It’s been smuggled in along with amnesty because, while opinion polls can sometimes be tortured enough to seem to show that, under various impossible circumstances, Americans might support amnesty for some illegals (children etc.), there has never been any poll that shows Americans want legal immigration increased.

Yet that’s what the financial musclemen who are providing that lavish funding to market the Amnesty/Immigration Surge—Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg (http://www.vdare.com/search/node/Mark Zuckerberg), Bloomberg.com’s Michael Bloomberg (http://www.vdare.com/search/node/), etc.—really want. They want cheaper computer programmers, as well as cheaper golf course tenders (http://www.upi.com/Top_News/2006/04/01/Bloomberg-Illegal-immigrants-help-golfers/UPI-85421143938311/). (Yes—Bloomberg once actually said this! (http://www.vdare.com/posts/this-message-paid-for-by-billionaire-golfers-for-open-borders))

There’s a huge amount of money at stake. By depressing wages, (http://www.vdare.com/posts/immigrants-depressing-local-wages-in-alaska) current immigration policy shifts some 2-3 percent of Gross Domestic Product from labor to capital. (http://www.vdare.com/posts/immigration-and-inequality-1) That’s a windfall profit to the plutocrats (http://www.wnd.com/2013/05/amnesty-means-more-plutocrat-plundering/) of $300-$450 billion a year.

For three decades after World War II, U.S. poverty rates dropped like a stone (http://www.vdare.com/articles/national-data-a-third-lesson-from-1965-immigration-and-inequality-rise-together)—from 32 percent of families in 1947 to 11.1 percent in 1973.
But then the 1965 Immigration Act kicked in. It had two effects: (http://www.vdare.com/articles/the-fulford-file-why-no-dillingham-commission-before-gangsters-amnesty-immigration-surge-bi) importing poverty-stricken immigrants and intensifying labor market completion, forcing more American-born workers into poverty.

Progress against poverty stalled. (http://www.vdare.com/articles/national-data-by-edwin-s-rubenstein-170)
The poverty rate has most recently risen back to some 14.5 percent—way above the low achieved 40 years ago.

Of course, the immigrant labor force is not the only cause of this immiseration of U.S. workers. But it has contributed.

Basically, in 1965 the U.S. could have chosen to be Switzerland (http://www.vdare.com/posts/swiss-referendum-voters-reject-asylum-fraudsters). It was tricked onto a course where it will become Brazil (http://www.vdare.com/posts/democratic-elite-prefers-marthas-vineyardbrazilian).
