BE SKEPTICAL: Billionaires try to convince Americans it’s good to import foreign workers, increase immigration.

How do you convince Americans that it’s good for us to import millions of new foreign workers? Create a media blitz based on slogans, misinformation, political theater and guilt. . . .

This well-funded megaphone parrots the mantra that immigration will “make the economy grow.” It’s technically accurate but disguises the real issue: Will immigration increase per-capita income? No. Lower wages transfer wealth from workers to employers and investors, the happy 1 percent.
