If someone tries to justify amnesty or allowing more illegal immigration to you by throwing out the tired old strawman of “they’re coming to do the jobs Americans won’t do,” feel free to throat punch them, kick them in the junk, and inform them that is the immediate penalty for being stupid. WHY won’t Americans do many of these jobs? Because we’re paying them not to. This argument cannot be broken. Nor can you dispute that when we have a record 1 out of 3 working age Americans NOT in the workforce, record real and sustained unemployment, increasing the supply of labor by legalizing millions of ILLEGALS, or even giving them work visas, will not increase the number of jobs, and will in fact depress wages due to the oversupply of labor.

Government is by definition a “market distortion.”

Fear monger, naysayer, doomsday proohet are terms ascribed to people who dare to criticize the existing economic system and speak about the real implications for our people. I dare the most liberal of you to read the following facts, engage in your own fact checking and then not to be able to conclude that the American dream, for most of our people, is dead and buried.
