Destroying the Economy for White Supremacy

Part of the reason the U.S. has such a vital economy most of the time is that we have allowed in immigrants. Here’s the thing about immigration–everything thing about it is great and nothing about it is bad. Unless you hate foreigners. Unfortunately, a lot of Americans hate foreigners. So we are going to shoot ourselves in the proverbial head in order to whiten up America.

For the first time in at least half a century, more people may leave the United States than arrive this year, an abrupt shift in immigration patterns with potentially significant implications for the U.S. economy.

Economists at two Washington think tanks expectPresident Donald Trump’s immigration policiesto drive this reversal: from the near-total shutdown of the southern border to threats to international students and the loss of legal status for many new arrivals,according to a forthcoming paper.A rise in deportations — the aim of recent workplace raids that triggered protests in Los Angeles and other cities — also plays a role.

A net outflow of migrants could stoke inflation, a risk economists already expect from Trump’s tariff policies. It also could renew the type of labor shortages the country experienced during the pandemic. Longer term, it could even have implications for fiscal policy, with fewer immigrants paying taxes and supporting entitlement programs such as Social Security, said one of the economists, Wendy Edelberg.

“For the year as a whole, we think it’s likely [immigration] will be negative,” Edelberg said. “It certainly would be the first time in more than 50 years.”

And let’s not forget that undocumented immigrants mostly pay Social Security and all pay sales tax and they don’t get much of it back. So they are funding our welfare state, despite lies to the contrary.

But hey, what about making me feel better as a white?
