ComputerGuy Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 You're saying if there are too many unskilled applicants, you move their cases to a poorly-staffed consulate, which opens the first consulate up to better applicants, and effectively moves the "unworthies" to a location where no one cares about the increasing backlog... therefore providing a speedier path to the chosen few, and a dustbin for the unwanted. Is that it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 You got it baby. I think all clients were multi-millionaire businessmen, I never represented unskilled immigrants. And then the political parties hide this fact. You would surprised how many Punjabi Sikhs are in Mexico City. I would get them visas for Costa Rica from that Consul General in Vancouver, which required air travel through Mexico City. They would simply get off the plane, and apply through Canadian Embassy in Mexico City. The size of Mexico City Canadian immigration was the same as the nearest consulate in India - but there were many thousands more applications in India. It is the same everywhere nowadays - the wait for U.S. Citizenship, after trouble free(no felonies) green cards, is now over two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geeser Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 All immigration should benefit the country receiving them. The country getting the immigrant should be able to seek only folks who will contribute the most. The USA has over the last 30 years accepted more immigrants than other country. This Data is for 2016 for permanent residents: The U.S. accepted 1,183,500 Germany accepted 1,051,000 The U.K. accepted 350,100 Canada accepted 296,400 France received 258,900 Australia accepted 223,500 Spain accepted 215,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joco Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 On 12/5/2018 at 7:50 AM, Mainecoons said: It's being reported 63 percent of immigrant households there are collecting welfare. Where do we sign up? Unfortunately, when it comes to immigration, Mexico has a much better system and attitude (Mexico and Mexicans first) than the U.S. What I find interesting are the people who live in this country that definitely follows a policy of placing itself and its citizens first react with hostility and hatred when anyone or any duly elected politician there suggests that the U.S. do the same. Go figure. Illegals cannot collect welfare but they do pay billions a year in taxes from which they rarely benefit. "Undocumented immigrants pay $12 billion of taxes every single year. They pay their taxes." https://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2016/oct/02/maria-teresa-kumar/how-much-do-undocumented-immigrants-pay-taxes/ "The best estimates come from research by the Institute of Taxation and Economic Policy, a Washington, DC, think tank, which suggests that about half of undocumented workers in the United States file income tax returns. The most recent IRS data, from 2015, shows that the agency received 4.4 million income tax returns from workers who don’t have Social Security numbers, which includes a large number of undocumented immigrants. That year, they paid $23.6 billion in income taxes." https://www.vox.com/2018/4/13/17229018/undocumented-immigrants-pay-taxes This doesn't include sales taxes. state income taxes, property taxes, gasoline taxes. etc. that they pay. Plus illegals are paid less keeping prices down and often cheated out of their paychecks and insurance coverage. They commit less, not more, crime.

Mainecoons Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 I suggest you Google "cost of illegal immigrants" and read a cross section of what you see there. Suffice to say the cost figures are a lot higher than these figures plus obviously, and by your own report, the 23.6 billion includes an unknown number of citizens without SS numbers Unless you can quantify that, it has no real meaning. My comment about signing up was a bit of humor but the rest is quite true. I applaud the efforts of both Mexico and now the U.S. to put the best interests of their citizens and legal immigrants first. To me, that is why we elect these people--to work in the interests of their citizens as opposed to the globalist agenda. One of the most negative impacts of illegal immigration is the depression of wages among the unskilled or less skilled legal citizens. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/09/trump-clinton-immigration-economy-unemployment-jobs-214216 I also applaud the new effort by both the U.S. and Mexico to improve economic opportunity here and in Central America so that people are not so desperate they feel they have no choice but to uproot themselves and illegally enter either country. I didn't comment on crime. Plenty of that to go around on both sides of the border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmh Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 I can tell you that all the undocumented workers working for us at the winery paid SS , they usually came up with someone´s number so the social security would get paid, they also have a huge numbers of numbers that are made up and not reconciled but the SS gets paid. and the illegals never collect..Things may have changed as Immigration came up with a system to check the SS numbers before hiring people but that was the way it was..After the checking system came up they used legal relatives or real SS numbers via fake cards so the SS got paid under other people´s names.

Combined with an existing policy that allows immigrants who arrived here as children to avoid deportation and work legally for two years, California could reap an additional $900 million in state taxes over five years if DAPA is implemented, a 2015 reportby the left-leaning Center for American Progress estimated. That report also estimatedadditional tax receipts of $347 million for Illinois, $184 million for New York and $25 million for South Carolina. https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/blogs/stateline/2016/04/20/states-weigh-costs-benefits-of-undocumented-immigrant-parents All studies agree that immigrants would pay billions more into the economy if they were allowed to legally work.

Mainecoons Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 More like speculated. Every advocate of the various immigration position from open borders to total shutdown has official looking studies to buttress their positions. What you didn't address at all is the impact of importing low/no skilled workers into an economy that has a surplus of same, both in terms of the incomes of the corresponding citizens and the social conditions that result as a result of their depressed wages. In a free market economy, even one that is not so free, flooding the labor market with surplus labor leads to lower wages. Trying to avert that with minimum wages only leads to more unemployment. BTW California has the highest rate of poverty in America and also the greatest single state percentage and numbers of legal and illegal immigrants. Perhaps there is a connection? This could go on ad nauseum. Your study is just so much speculation from a source with a clear agenda. In any case, there are two realities here: There can be no immigration solution in the U.S. without control of same. Any solution salubrious to the previous illegal immigrants simply causes a renewed flood of same in the absence of such control. That has been proven over and over again starting with Reagan's amnesty. Open borders guarantees immigration in direct proportion to the perceived level of opportunity. That too has been proven over and over. People exhibit economic rationality. If they think they can do a lot better on the other side of the fence, they will go there until either they can't do better or until the recipient country decides to exert their own self interest and control that fence. Second, I'm glad I am living in a country which realizes open borders are a bad idea. Fortunately, for all of us Mexico does not subscribe to the globalist agenda. Mexico's government is Mex-centric as it should be. This is why AMLO has announced they are closing all border crossings with Guatemala except the river crossing. I suspect this is also part of the recently announced deal to try and reduce the impetus to immigrate in the first place. And Angus, since you apparently follow Info-Wars perhaps you will share their fate with the rest of us. From what I understand, not following it, the attempts at selective censorship so prevalent these days has had the opposite effect to that intended. That too has been proven over and over.

bmh Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 i suspect that the closing of tje border is just talk amd show. The border was never designed to really stop people and the idea was to get the migrants when they would travel through Chiapas or getting put of Chiapas.. The Tapachuña crossing on the river is the main crossing. There is a small crossing via the mountains in Mesilla with the aduana in Comitan. otherwise you have mountains to cross and villages that can be friendly or unfriendly . The border is a biv river im the jungle with few roads, it is easy to hide. There are army retenes on the roads in all the area but it is easy to walk around them and there are plenty of people you can pay to help you find your way Good luck on closing the southern border which is in a pretty lawless area.

The posting I made was about rumored doubling of minimum wage. You may not agree but the Guadalajara Reporter on page 1 says: The central bank had raised concerns the new government policies could lead to an inflationary spiral and this was on only a 16% increase. They have voted to raise interest rates by 8.25%. Glad I'm in good company. As for what I think Liana, I believe it is better not to have runaway inflation.

Pax_Orbis Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 In response to the original post: The increase in MX minimum hourly wage will effectively raise, by an equivalent percentage, the minimum monthly income necessary to obtain MX resident visas. Temporary resident visa (annual renewal) applicants must prove monthly income of 300 times minimum wage. Permanent resident visa (four years) applicants must prove income of 500 times minimum wage. Otherwise, there are not any significant differences. (For purposes of computation, the exchange rate was recently 20.13 pesos per dollar on which rate the minimums are calculated below. Lower dollar exchange rates of, say, 19.00 pesos per dollar can also serve to increase the final computation of the requirements.) Temp resident: $102.68 x 300 = MX $30,804 / $20.13 = US $1,530 per month Perm resident: $102.68 x 500 = MX $51,340 / $20.13 = US $2,550 per month In any case, one must doubt the MX government will leave in place any rules that are too restrictive of potential U.S. immigration. The MX economy benefits from, and relies upon, steadily growing retirement immigration from the U.S. Mexico is the largest retirement destination for the rapidly growing number of U.S. retirees. The baby boomer flood is on its way! And Mexico is not going to let it dry up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
