The mainstream media is now framing and selling illegal emigration, which is destroying our social systems and causing the economy to decline, as a huge economic stimulus program that will boost our economy in the coming years. what bullshit!

BREAKING: Denver Mayor Mike Johnston (D) announces cuts in services at the DMV and Park & Recs to free up more resources for illegals. He warns there will be more cuts coming.
He blames Republicans for his decision to cut services to Denver residents.
Democrats made Denver a sanctuary city in 2017. Democrats control Colorado and passed progressive immigration policies in 2021.

I recently wrote an article on the subject of illegal migration in Germany and the impact on the welfare state and have reaped a harvest that I had never expected. The hatred for all bourgeois who argue objectively in any form against illegal emigration is boundless. These idiots are digging their own graves

so who does Bloomberg speak for?
From the perspective of transnational corporations, illegal immigration is indeed a giant stimulus program.
It imports a pool of super-cheap labor that can be absolutely exploited, because the employers can (and regularly do!) call the police on them if they resist their exploitation in any way.
This drives down wages for the rest of the work force, who have to compete with people who are not on the same legal footing as they are.
As a bonus, you get a political talking point out of it. Conservatives love illegal immigration, because they get to publicly hate it. Witness the US Congress refusing to pass a spending bill that has money for the border crisis in it - they're protecting an election topic they can rile people up with. Conservatives are not the solution here, they profit from this, on multiple levels, in PR as well as in support for/from their friends in high business. (nobody here is on your side.)
The other side of this is the instigation of forever wars, which are of course not exclusively meant to drive immigration to imperialist countries, but do ALSO have that effect, which serves the transnational enterprise class quite well and is one more reason for them to support these wars.
None of this, of course, is the fault of the immigrants. They're getting their lives destroyed and then squeezed (as well).

This. Bloomberg does for the financial class what the NYT/WaPo do for the political class -- carry water over systemic failures and justify endless monetary inflation. They're also a mouthpiece for the west so if some issue concerns the interests of other nations, guess which way Bloomberg is leaning?

thanks for the article. just a few figures from Germany: Germany has been experiencing an incredible wave of illegal immigration since 2015, attracted by the generous welfare state, which finances rent, ancillary rental costs, health insurance and about 600 € cash per month per capita. the entire migration program now costs the German taxpayer over 50 billion euros a year! this is money that only flows into consumption, which is withheld from the investment economy - a real impoverishment program. illegal emigration is a disaster, as usually people come whose labor productivity is not significant. At least the welfare state ponzi gets eliminated that way

Conservatives hate illegal immigration. We wish we didn’t have to talk about it
The left loves illegal immigration. The left has no interest in solving the border crisis. For 3 years Biden said there is no border crisis. He recently changed his talking point because of his stand off with Texas.
