A popular misconception in Europe is that centrist right and centrist left parties are taking immigrants in because of ideological reasons, which is false, they take them for economic reasons.
By working or abusing welfare money, immigrants spend a lot, their expanses are very beneficial to the corporations and to the state they live in, they actually don't cost more than they return.
In conclusion, immigrants help the state by a small margin (depending on how involved it is in the economy) and the corporation by a big, juicy margin. The refugee/immigrant lobby is a result of corporate interests making their way into politics.
>they actually don't cost more than they return t. Abdul Muhammad
Carter Price
Maybe a dumb question, but why not give money to citizens then?
Camden Jenkins
Bin that hijab.
Ayden Campbell
It's literally about sustaining their welfare state. This is their solution, continually flood the country with migrants indefinitely. It has nothing to do with refugees, they were just a convenience. If the refugee crisis ends, the immigrants wont. Rip
Nolan Carter
Because then they can't drop worker's wages
Levi Robinson
>because of ideological reasons, which is false
How naive are you? This is planned and organized by the jew for the jew's benefit
Charles Scott
Deserves analysis but even with that in mind it would equate modern policy with money laundering.
Brody Hall
That doesn't even make sense though. The immigrants don't work and just put more stress on the state.
Jason Turner
The only way they would cost more is if they hoard all their money in a basement, even if the state walfare is their only revenue, they will spend the money and it will return through taxes, their consumption will also extend the activities of local companies.
Even if immigration costs to the state (which it doesn't, it's calculated to be null at the very worse), it affects the GDP positively in all cases.
Logan Baker
More workers = lower wages. That's the economic reason. The political reason is that an economically devastated working/middle class will be a less potent bloc that the elite won't have to share power with.
Gavin Ortiz
This
By extent, inviting immigrants in drops wages and extends the first necessity services consumer base (food, water, electricity, etc), instead of improving them towards high-end services that are more efficient and innovative.
Chase Cooper
Sure, just ignore that they all send loads of welfare money to family in other countries. Thus, removing money in circulation.
Kevin Nelson
Don't be so dumb, no people on earth puts the interest of others before their own interests, it's in the interest of the most powerful actors of the economy to have more immigrants coming in, they're not planning on making the white race fall but they're forseeing a better paycheck.
Never underestimate greed.
Blake Jenkins
>tax your citizens excessively >give that tax money to non-citizens >gee Francois, why are our citizens not spending anything and not getting into debt? We clearly need more people
Andrew Ward
That was a problem in the 70's but now there's whole families of immigrants coming in, policies even encourages entire families to come, so their expenses stay inside the country.
Eli Edwards
I'd agree with you but then we'd both look like idiots.
If I give you $100, you send 50 back home and spend $50 with me, I haven't made $50. I've lost $50.
Jose Jones
True. Also they push up the price of essentials like housing, by creating more demand and if you must leave your city and leave for a smaller, whiter one, so much the better. The nation will have a new city to generate revenue entirely at the expense of middle class people.
Jackson Gomez
They are trying to compete with Mexico, the UK, China and India in manufacturing. Immigration is to being our standard of living down to the level of these developing economies.
Christian Robinson
more stress on the state>oy vey goyim we have to raise taxes for a while, just to get out of this crisis!>state gets more power over people>rinse and repeat
Daniel Bell
Not accounting for all the other wonderful benefits of mass migration. Real wages haven't gone up in a decade or more.
Ethan Miller
Was this never a mystery? I thought we've all known this all along.
Jason Foster
An increase in GDP does not necessarily lead to an increase in GDP per capita. Especially when it comes to mass immigration of this scale the GDP can (and probably will) increase while the GDP per capita decreases.
Adam Morgan
We save too much money for our governments liking.
Camden Nguyen
>By working or abusing welfare money, immigrants spend a lot, No they don't, they send all the money they can in their native country to pay for more migration. Literally bleeding the economy dry.
Jackson Mitchell
All of this while milking the honest indigenous worker.
Also, the state doesn't benefit for immigration.
And there are politicians who benefit from immigration due to political gain, ex: dems and spics in the US
Logan Howard
>no people on earth puts the interest of others before their own interests define "their own", besides ideology does play a part
Jose Garcia
Let's say i have a brother, he made 100$, sends 50$ back home and gives you 50$, you have your money back.
Now let's say you encourage more people like him to come and you encourage him to bring his whole family so he doesn't send anything back home. Now you start to make a lot of money.
Aaron Johnson
>move to europe >get a free, decent home >live on very little as one from a poor nation is used to >send rest to family abroad
Jeremiah Howard
True, it wasn't my point though, since it's rarely a decrease of GDP per capita either.
We over estimate "mass immigration", in a couple years, countries neighboring Syria have had a true mass migration of refugees, by the millions, Europe is much better protected as immigration is under control.
Alexander Green
Also men arriving in their 20s can never hope to access the west's education systems. They are doomed to minimum wage slavery.
Noah Smith
What do you think the regroupement familial was about ? It was about bringing families in so the money spent on them is sent back into the economy, not in some relatives hand.
>Also, the state doesn't benefit for immigration. A country where we have 20% TVA on everything clearly benefits from immigration
>And there are politicians who benefit from immigration due to political gain Immigrants are rarely involved in politics and all parties try to appeal to them, politicians don't go out of their way defending migrants to get more seats in parliament, they do it because the lobbies that finance them are pro-migrant.
Isaac Rogers
>since it's rarely a decrease of GDP per capita either. Yes, it most definitely is, because a) productivity does not decrease at the same rate as the population (due to negative birth rates) and b) does not increase at the same rate as the population (work force) increases due to mass immigration - and that is already assuming the ideal case that immigrants could actually be integrated into the work force in high numbers.
Elijah Thomas
And btw, I know that was not your point, I just find it important to point out, because (naive) people generally assume that a "growing economy" or an increase in GDP means we are all better off. You are right, the only ones who are better off are the corporations.
Nathaniel Reyes
The interest of McDonald is to franchise more restaurants into a McDonald, to achieve that they sell hamburgers. Immigrants are wealthy enough to buy their products and they are poor enough to accept a job in one of their restaurants. It's a double win for this type of company.
Like I said earlier, the problem is that they mainly participate in those primary needs sectors, they drop wages and in consequence, we have less innovation or quality improvement.
Dylan Ramirez
If any of this was right, and it is not, why not take latin american catholics, or about whatever other migrant? Sure would cause less problems than the fucking muslims.
Landon Cooper
>You are right, the only ones who are better off are the corporations Thank you, I am glad we can have a debate that is not about "the jews want to genocide whites" or "Islam wants to take over the west". Those lobbies exist but they're not nearly as powerful as the big industries behind the immigration lobby.
Michael Mitchell
you fucking dumbass, how does the country benefit from giving money to migrants and taxing what they spend? It's all government money to begin with.
Nicholas Hill
Because there's more demand from muslims, hispanics prefer moving to the USA, and the actors at play have no ideology in mind, they just take in whoever asks.
Elijah King
You're reasoning is flawed as the disposable income of the immigrants is part of the GDP of the country already. It is only redistributed and no additional wealth is created.
E.g. whether I buy a tv or an immigrant gets a tv with welfare money (which was mine, or that of the state, before redistribution), the same value added tax would still apply and go back to the state.
Joseph Harris
When there are more people spending money instead of saving it, more people consuming goods, it allows businesses to expand and invest and ultimately they will pay more taxes, too.
Anthony Clark
We save money, so it's not in circulation, immigrants spend it.
Cooper Lewis
Saved money is invested by banks. The only way it is not in circulation is if you were to literally hoard cash under you mattress.
Justin White
That is literally what people are doing.
Jayden Howard
Considering that not all of them live under welfare, and that taxes affect everything, from the service you pay for, the salary of the people you buy from, the profit of the company, and the share of the associates, the country benefits greatly.
It can fail but since it's so easy to simply refuse a visa if you don't already work here, it needs minimal planning to work.
Wyatt Rivera
>the country benefits greatly. Define "country"
Evan Flores
Pretty sure most people have bank accounts, not a money box somewhere in their house.
I get the reasoning, similar to basic income, the redistribution will lead to higher consumption and accelerated growth.
For this to be sustainable, economies need increased efficiency of labour (i.e. a skilled workforce) in order to compensate for the higher unemployment caused by automatisation. This does not mean however that importing unskilled labour, which is largely useless to our economy is something positive.
Julian Cruz
No shit, you tell me that's why all the companies shill for EU, free trade & immigrants?
Jeremiah Robinson
>arab kebab shop >paying taxes The best joke of the year
James Green
bullshit. they are needed by the central bankers as future debt slaves since the western countries don't have enough population growth. debt based currency becomes unsustainable quickly without non stop population growth. we're all just chattel.
By doing that (((they))) are genociding the whites, and you're just a useful idiot. Also GDP per capita going down is very bad for people like you or me.
Alexander Hall
If it was about the money alone, they would have established legal mass migration point-based system. They bring as many subhuman trash as they can. Why? The agenda is ethnic displacement. Ever heard of Jean Monnet or Richard Kalergi?
We are reaching a point where negative interest rates are or soon will be a reality and banks are playing with the idea to charge fees whenever you withdraw money. My bank charges a hefty monthly fee just for their basic services, even just printing a bank statement costs money. There is literally no reason to keep "excess" money in a bank account anymore.
Aaron Turner
>A popular misconception in Europe is that centrist right and centrist left parties are taking immigrants in because of ideological reasons, which is false, they take them for economic reasons. We know about the economic reasons, but whenever that's discussed in public and someone disagrees with their reasoning, the 'centrist' left and right start spewing ideological buzzwords. >By working or abusing welfare money, immigrants spend a lot, their expanses are very beneficial to the corporations and to the state they live in, they actually don't cost more than they return. pic related >In conclusion, immigrants help the state by a small margin (depending on how involved it is in the economy) and the corporation by a big, juicy margin. The refugee/immigrant lobby is a result of corporate interests making their way into politics. Yes, corporations benefit. Lower and middle class native citizens? No.
Ethan Ortiz
>crypto commie republic of France >not jewing out your business top jej
Jordan Perry
This is total bullshit. The welfare money you give them is either: sent to their family in home their country, or spent on blackmarket. It's like the keneysian economic cycle. You give money to citizens, they spend it, the economy is better. But for this to work, and have migrant bringing more than they cost, that money needs to be spend LEGALLY (taxes) and no one should put money in the bank. When Mohamed and it's family of 8 earn 2500 Euros in welfare every month and they buy stuff from hand to hand with no state taxes we are all screwed!
Hunter Bailey
Completely true, you as a consumer should not have money stored in a bank account. You would be better off investing in stocks, and bonds.
This does not mean that the money is not in circulation. The money you store at the bank is used by the bank to invest in various mechanisms.
To the economy itself, whether you move the money or the bank does, its all the same.
Negative interest rates will only mean that it becomes an even worse deal for you to keep your money at the bank, but on the other hand you get a better deal on lending. This is the idea behind lowering interest rates. Just like with the basic income, quantitative easing, and other mechanisms to boost the economy, we want people to spend in order to keep the economic organism growing.
Ethan Sanders
You really need almost 2 decades of state education to produce people stupid enough to still believe this horseshit in this day and age
Elijah Brooks
Check mate
Brayden Flores
Sorry but we don't manufacture shit anymore in France.
Elijah Carter
Sauce on your pic. Would come in handy in discussions on immigration
Nathan Ross
No! Because before their 8 children a active part of society it takes decades. Decades during which you have to pay for their education, welfare, etc... This whole thread is starting to sound very Jewish ...
Gavin Lopez
The AVERAGE German is over 50 years old. Let me be clear, what I am hinting at is they do have large amounts of cash money stashed somewhere in their homes. Trust in banks is low and monetary incentive to keep your money in the bank is virtually zero except for the money you need to pay your bills.
Aaron Cruz
And crime !
Angel Morales
I completely agree. Bank's business is not money, it's DEBT !
Lucas Clark
1.Jews don't want military aged Muslim men surrounding Israel. 2. Politicians can't wait 18 years for native born tax cattle to mature. 3. Pump, dump, collapse, control.
Isaiah Taylor
It is bad for the long run as these groups create instability in the state.
Ryan Mitchell
Even for people over 50, the amount of physical cash hoarded is a minute percentage.
When you switched from the Mark to the Euro, people had to have their money exchanged, so hoarding would be limited time wise. The phenomena you are referring to will probably increase the older one gets, but people in their 50s are paying off mortgages and raising children, not hoarding cash under their beds. Maybe becomes relevant for the old farmer generation of 80+, don't know of any data on this.
Pensions, wages, and unemployment benefits are paid out on a bank account. I find it hard to believe that anyone who has any type of income would take out their wages and stick it under their bed, in order to forego the interest(admittedly very low).
Eli Bennett
Tell us something new. Business cannot afford falling revenues. Creating consumers, that's what it should be called. State takes money from us and gives to them to spend. No, it's not beneficial or profitable in anyway.
Jose Taylor
>but people in their 50s are paying off mortgages and raising children The average person does not own the house or apartment they live in and you know our current birth rates.
Camden Cox
Your premise is, for as far as I understand; Immigration is good because of welfare distribution, and more spending by immigrant families will lead to higher economic growth.
I'm saying that the money that's redistributed already circulates in the economy, and immigrants in that sense add nothing beneficial.
Low birthrates are is a non-issue. Less people have never been the problem. Its that the welfare state will not be able to support the coming generation of elderly, because the contribution to the welfare state is too small. Immigration from non-western countries make that situation worse as shown in pic by as they don't contribute to the welfare state and are a net loss.
Angel Mitchell
I am just stating the actual problem of immigration: corporate businesses taking the big share, the state takes a share too or loses a little, but in the end it's the corporations that win.
Recognise that this debate is more interesting than the usual debates regarding immigration on this board.
Jeremiah Reyes
I am not arguing for immigration at all, very much the opposite. What I am saying is that it is entirely possible to utilize mass immigration to force economic growth, it's just that the general population does not benefit from it. I'm not disagreeing with the points you are making about the welfare system and the immigrants negative net contribution, just that one thing doesn't exclude the other.
