The lifetime fiscal cost (benefits received minus taxes paid) for the average unlawful immigrant after amnesty would be around $590,000.
Now, thanks to the DVDs that Fr33minds is offering, I have Friedman on video stating precisely what he believes about immigration. And, instead of giving you half quotes, like the anti-immigration crowd does, I want to give you his precise words. What follows are direct quotes from Friedman in his lecture, What is America.
Friedman referred to the millions of immigrants and how most came with empty hands. He noted that some immigrants in the audience were more recent and said: You are the modern wave that we ought to be welcoming as immigrants. In the same tradition, as the tradition, which enabled the rest of us to get here.
You had a flood of immigrants, millions of them, coming to this country. What brought them here? It was the hope for a better life for them and their children. And, in the main, they succeeded. It is hard to find any century in history, in which so large a number of people experience so great an improvement in the conditions of their life, in the opportunities open to them, as in the period of the 19th and early 20th century.
You will find that hardly a soul who will say that it was a bad thing. Almost everybody will say it was a good thing. But what about today? Do you think we should have free immigration? Oh, no, theyll say, We couldnt possibly have free immigration today. Why, that would flood us with immigrants from India, and God knows where. Wed be driven down to a bare subsistence level.
I'm guessing a spoiled rich kid.
Actually, CP is coming off as such in this scenario. I don't refer to socioeconomically limited neighborhoods as latrines. I lived and worked out of one for years.
But let's go ahead and perpetuate language that serves no other purpose than to dehumanize the lower class.
This has a religious bend to it, don't be shocked that i shared it.

It is, I hear you recommend castration and estrogen supplements.
I'm just calling it as I see it. Any blemish in a silver spoon clearly makes you extremely uncomfortable.
You must be going senile.

Uncomfortable? You're not understanding the point I'm making. That area used to be a nice middle class type community. Then waves of illegals started flooding into the area. Long time residents moved away, property values dropped and more illegals continued to move in. Now what was once a very "American" area is now a crime-ridden "Mexican" area. Huff says there's no way illegals will affect the Anerican culture, but he's full of **** because I've seen it happen with my own eyes. It will continue to grow as long as their allowed to flow in without consequence.
