Excellent podcast breaking down the overwhelmingly positive economic impact of immigrants on countries clever enough to not keep them out or deport them:

https://overcast.fm/+YsPQ5tRa0

Key takeaways:

-Remember the Chinese Exclusion Act? This 1882 law was America's 1st shot at restricting immigration. It was an economic disaster. The number Chinese workers in the US dropped by 65%, which led to businesses - especially in small towns in the West, where the Chinese Exclusion Act was the most popular - shutting down due to the sudden drop in (Chinese) patrons. This, in turn, threw non-Chinese workers out of work. The negative impact of the Chinese Exclusion Act on the US economy lasted 58 years!

-Over 20 years of research on the economic impact of immigration found that countries that welcome immigrants reap massive economic benefits from doing so. Five reasons for this:

1) Talent: immigrants typically fill jobs that non-immigrants can't or won't do, or when there's simply not enough workers available to do those jobs.

2) Consumption: Immigrants increase the demand for goods and services, not leaste because they have to replace everything they left behind when they immigrated! But they also introduce new categories of products, services, and brands from their old lives to their new countries.

3) Taxes: Immigrants - even undocumented immigrants - pay sales taxes, payroll taxes, road tolls, etc. So much so that the taxes they pay in their new countries exceeds the amount of government services they use, which means that they actually subsidize government services for non-immgrants! How much? Each immigrant to the US pays out $250,000 more in taxes than they use in services, on-average, over their lifetimes.

4) Investment: For every 1% increase in the number of immigrants in a particular US state, that state is 50% more likely to receive foreign investment from the country those immigrants came from (what, did you think it was a coincidence that California has 72 Jollibee locations?). Also, immigrants are 80% more likely than non-immigrants to start their own businesses in their new countries.

5) Innovation: One out of every three patents in the US are filed by immigrants. Almost half of all Fortune 500 companies are headed by an immigrant or the child of immigrants.

Kiss all of that goodbye in 2025, America!

“In November 1989, while #Netanyahu served as a junior minister in Shamir’s government, he spoke at Bar-Ilan University, the academic mecca of religious nationalism in Israel. He said:

“#Israel should have taken advantage of the suppression of the demonstrations in #China in #Tiananmen Square, when the world’s attention was focused on what was happening in that country, to carry out #mass #expulsions among the #Arabs of the territories.“

UK: More than 600 #Brazilians deported by Home Office on three #secret flights

Record number of deportees includes children who may have spent most of their lives in the UK

The Home Office has never before removed any nationality in such large numbers on individual #deportation charter flights. It is thought that children have never before been removed on these flights.

According to freedom of information data seen by the Observer, the three flights were on 9 August, when 205 people including 43 children were removed; 23 August, when 206 people were removed, including 30 children; and 27 September, when 218 people were removed, including 36 children. All the deported children were part of family units, and many of them would have been settled at school and are likely to have spent most if not all of their lives in the UK.

Did a change in Govt. prompt a shift in Home Office attitudes to migrants?

Well, not really....

The Home Office seems to have been encouraging (and incentivising) Brazillians to return home - although there are clearly question about how voluntary such deportations are...

I guess they've targeted Brazillians as their deportation will (rightly or wrongly) not get tied up with questions about human right in the returnees country?

"While the Congressional Budget Office estimates this mass deportation will cost at least $88 billion a year, another cost that is rarely mentioned is that according to Bloomberg, undocumented immigrants currently pay about $100 billion a year in taxes. Losing that income, too, will likely have to be made up with cuts from elsewhere."

"Today Trump confirmed that he intends to bypass normal legal constraints on his actions by declaring a national emergency on his first day in office in order to launch his mass deportation of undocumented migrants."

Trump plans to deport millions of people at once, endangering their lives and putting them temporarily into captivity with millions of others.

Bwhahaha! But not really funny, and note these private prison corps are also in the #REHAB biz. Your alcoholic or junkie kid, rehabbed by Geo or Wackenhut. They just dress like social workers instead of guards. That's where the real money is. Low risk Higher profits.

»It remains unclear whether the law would be applied in the occupied West Bank, where Israel already demolishes the homes of attackers' families as part of its long-standing policy.
