Fox Counter Points - Immigration

Robert Reich debunks 4 of Donald Trump and Fox's dangerous lies about immigration.

Immigrants steal American jobs

Supply and demand, they are here purchasing so they drive up demand as well. Side note: One day someone will have to explain how they are stealing jobs AND taking all the welfare.

We don't need any more immigrants

False: The US population is aging and more immigration will will help support programs to support seniors.

Immigrants are a drain on public budgets (taking our food stamps and living for free etc.)

Wrong again: UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS DON'T GET FOOD STAMPS. Undocumented immigrants paid 11.2 billion dollars in taxes in 2012, they can't draw social security and they pay into it. If we reformed a path to citizenship that number would be even higher.

Legal/illegal immigration is increasing

No. It's been declining for years.
