Biden-Harris:marseyridin:administration blasted for running out of money($1billion) :marseypoor: to deal with Hurricane:marseyhurricane2: Helene after blowing billions on migrants

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13920907/biden-harris-money-hurricanes-helene-billions-migrants.html

								

								

the other post about this mentions a $640 million expenditure on illegals by FEMA, butt this article claim over $1 Billion specifically for housing illegal migrants.

This is why housing costs so much for normal citizens.

The american people are getting bussy blasted so bad by their government.

I dont even think immigration has serious impacts on wages, that's another questionable claim nativists make, basically every paper ever done on the topic has pointed to immigrants being a net gain to the economy and having little impact on wages.

The one demo they do tend to impact wages for are other immigrants:

Economists generally agree that the effects of immigration on the U.S. economy are broadly positive. Immigrants, whether high- or low-skilled, legal or illegal, are unlikely to replace native-born workers or reduce their wages over the long-term, though they may cause some short-term dislocations in labor markets. Indeed, the experience of the last few decades suggests that immigration may actually have significant long-term benefits for the native-born, pushing them into higher-paying occupations and raising the overall pace of innovation and productivity growth. Moreover, as baby boomers have begun moving into retirement in advanced economies around the world, immigration is helping to keep America comparatively young and reducing the burden of financing retirement benefits for a growing elderly population. While natives bear some upfront costs for the provision of public services to immigrants and their families, the evidence suggests a net positive return on the investment over the long term.

everytime they talk about this they never define either "upfront costs" which are high for the poor native workers and "long term" which is a long time(decades/generations) after the immigrants arrive and acclamate and begin contributing more than they take. And the "net gain" to the economy is in the pockets of the super rich who benefit the most from keeping wages for the poor and working class as low as possible. You hate poor people and the middle class even tho you are them yourself kinda like the average chud.

even the housing claim is r-slurred lol:

But in general, economists are skeptical that immigrants are the main driver of the current predicament. Chris Herbert, managing director of Harvard University's Joint Center for Housing Studies, said that while immigrants do add to overall housing demand, "they cannot be blamed for the recent surge in home prices and rents that took off in 2020 and 2021." That was when immigration reached its lowest levels in decades because of the pandemic, he said in a statement emailed to news outlets.

When immigration started to surge in 2022 and peaked in 2023, Herbert said, "growth in home prices and rents slowed dramatically."

At the end of the day I don't care if you want to be anti immigration. I have no strong opinions on immigration, if immigration was banned tomorrow I would not care.

my issue is the attempts to make bad arguments sound good. in reality the only reason most people are anti immigration is because they're nativist losers that think they're losers because of immigration.

if rural America wants no immigrants and wants to wither and die then let them.

im talking the last 50 years dummy. And that spike was due to covid ppp money another example of govt money flooding the market driving up the costs of housing.

i know you dont care, ypu dont even vote on my posts you apathetic jerk!

i care bc even tho my employees have less bargaining power to ask for higher wages due to immigration, i still want them to succeed and be enthused about their future. Not all of us are well off and its not nearly as easy for people these days to make it as it was for me, also i think the cultural degradation and the loss of national unity that immigrstion is causing is going to cause serious long term problems socially and national security wise.

how come the native americans only withered and died off once the immogrants (mayo monkeys like you) showed ip? Oh right you dont care about them or anyone. Just like you dont care to learn.

I would say it is dubious, lol.

What's actually happened is the tech industry started branching out across the country to find lower cost of living areas, the work from home revolution sped it up even more.

then you have investors buying up a shit load of single family and multiple family homes at the same time.

Something like 25% of homes being purchased during the price surge was investors buying them.
