The link between abortion and illegal immigration

There’s a strong link between being pro-abortion and pro-illegal immigration, two pillars of the Democrat Party. It’s not because this is the party of caring and social justice, either. The U.S. birth rate is below replacement. We can’t support our current social programs without more people coming into the work force to pay taxes. Since we’ve been killing off our population legally since 1973, many of whom would be in the prime work years of their lives, we have to import poor, and mostly brown people from Mexico and Central America for the grunt work of harvesting crops and roofing buildings, and Asians for the high tech jobs with the legal visa program, H-1B.  

There were 11.3 million unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. in 2014 according to Pew Research. The population has remained essentially stable for five years, and currently makes up 3.5% of the nation’s population. The number of unauthorized immigrants peaked in 2007 at 12.2 million, when this group was 4% of the U.S. population. 

 Blacks are about about 13% of our population, and Hispanics about 17%, and that's just a recent change due to amnesty in the IRCA and a fluid border. Unauthorized immigrants make up 5.1% of the U.S. labor force. In the U.S. labor force, there were 8.1 million unauthorized immigrants either working or looking for work in 2012. Among the states, Nevada (10%), California (9%), Texas (9%) and New Jersey (8%) had the highest shares of unauthorized immigrants in their labor forces. 

Since these people all have a better chance for the good life in the U.S. than their home countries, of course they fall into the arms of the party that welcomes them. But they don’t look behind the curtain.

Happy No-Labor Day

“As Americans celebrated the Labor Day weekend, nearly 94 million people of working age actually had nothing to celebrate. That’s because they aren’t in the labor force. They’re not working and they’re not looking for a job. The latest Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the labor force participation rate is now 62.6 percent, a 38 year low.”

“A mother with two children participating in seven common welfare programs would enjoy more income than what she would earn from a minimum-wage job in 35 states, even after accounting for the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit. In Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, and the District of Columbia, welfare pays more than a $20-an-hour job. “

Government aid is bi-partisan—Republicans vote for increases almost at the same level as Democrats.  It means VOTES!  But obviously it’s not best for the individual, the family or the country.
