Democrats: Migrants Make America Great

Migrants make American great, according to the candidates of the 2020 Democrat debate in Houston, TX, on Thursday night.

“I start with a statement of principles, and that is, in this country, immigration does not make us weaker, immigration makes us stronger,” Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said at the debate on ABC News. She continued:

I want to see us expand legal immigration and create a pathway to citizenship for our DREAMers, but also for their grandparents, and for their cousins, for people who have overstayed student visas, and for people who came here to work in the fields.

“We have to say to the American people, immigrants are positive for our economic and social dynamism,” Andrew Yang told the ABC cameras, adding:

I think we have to compete for talent, and I am the opposite of Donald Trump in many ways. He says, “build a wall.” I’m going to say to immigrants, “come to America because, if you come here, your son our daughter can run for president. The water is great. And this is where you want to build a company, build a family, and build a life.” This country has been a magnet for human capital for generations. If we lose that, we lose something integral to our continued success.

Numerous economists say mass migration lowers Americans’ wages and salaries, while it expands the overall economy and boosts the stock market’s investors.

The Democrats’ pro-migration stance helps their major donors on Wall Street and in business and also boosts their growing cadre of ambitious progressives who gain votes as the immigrant population rises.

The pro-migration policy is also favored by the party’s activist base of university progressives who champion the 1965 claim that Americans’ homeland should be a “nation of immigrants.”

“My plan for revitalizing the economies of rural America includes community renewal visas that would allow cities and towns and counties that are hurting … for population to embrace immigration,” said Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, IN. “The only reason that South Bend is growing right now, after years of shrinking, is immigration,” he added.

“Begin with those more than one million DREAMers, make them U.S. citizens right now in this, their true home country,” said Texan Beto O’Rourke. “Extend that to their parents, their sisters and their brothers, and ensure that we have a legal, safe, orderly system to come to this country and add to our greatness here.”
