As Alex Nowrasteh, a former immigration policy analyst at the Competitive Enterprise Institute and currently a Cato Institute immigration policy analyst, pointed out, FAIR's study is riddled with errors and based on "poor methodology" that "fatally undermine this study":
FAIR's numerous errors, poor methodology, and failure to address criticisms of its previous work on this issue fatally undermine this study. FAIR's methodology is so flawed that it leads to absurd conclusions. Applying its study's reasoning to studying the children of American citizens, one could conclude that it never pays to have children because the fiscal costs will always outweigh the benefits. That is prima facie absurd.
FAIR ignores the benefits of unauthorized immigration by claiming that other people, namely American citizens who are unemployed or underemployed, would step into the void. That conclusion ignores economic reality. Those who are unemployed or underemployed do not live in a state of economic hibernation cut off from all activity. Even if the jobs and businesses left vacant after deporting all unauthorized immigrants were somehow filled by Americans, the economic activity of those millions of people is still lost.
FAIR has a long history of making anti-immigrant remarks and is connected to white nationalist organizations. The group's founder, John Tanton, is the modern day architect of the anti-immigrant, nativist movement and also has a history of making anti-immigrant and racially charged remarks.
Fox Borrows "Fact" On Immigration Costs From Hate Group's Debunked Study
Immigration Expert: Passing Comprehensive Immigration Reform Would Add At Least $1.5 Trillion To The U.S. Economy Over 10 Years. In a 2012 report about the economic benefits of comprehensive immigration reform published by the Cato Institute, UCLA professor and immigration expert Raúl Hinojosa-Ojeda found that passing immigration reform "would raise wages, increase consumption, create jobs, and generate additional tax revenue."

Bush Administration Report Found That Immigration Adds $37 Billion To The U.S. Economy Annually. A report by the Bush-era White House Council of Economic Advisers found that immigrants increase gross domestic product "by roughly $37 billion each year because immigrants increase the size of the total labor force, complement the native-born workforce in terms of skills and education, and stimulate capital investment by adding workers to the labor pool."

Excellent! Losing $37 billion in GDP is a small price to pay.
Build a wall, deport the illegals.
No one is talking about immigration. Do we need to make a new word to define illegal immigrants? It seems you keep getting them confused with immigrants. An illegal immigrant is not an immigrant. They are criminals who violated our law and entered our nation illegally. Potentially, they are a national security risk because we don't know who they are or where they came from.
Weird, you'd think the GOP/CONServatives would want to go after WHY they came here, you know JOBS? Oh yeah, can't touch those "job creators" right? lol
But they don't all come here to work. What about the ones who come here to be thieves and rapists? How do we go after why they came? What about the ones who come to be terrorists and commit terrorist acts? How do we go after why they came? What about the ones who just want to come here and live off the government handouts? Any ideas on how we can go after why they came?
I have always been in favor of strict penalties for companies who hire illegal aliens. I thought it was one of the worst arguments ever made by Bush regarding jobs Americans won't do. I don't have a problem with heavy fines or even jail time for people who knowingly hire illegal aliens... BUT... Houston, we have a problem here....
How do we hold companies accountable when we restrict them from even being able to ask Pedro for proper identification? How does a company comply without profiling, discriminating or violating rights to privacy? How can we hold them responsible for Pedro's clever ability to forge fake documentation? It's easy to say, punish employers who hire illegals, it's hard to enforce it in today's politically correct, over-litigious and hypersensitive environment. Not saying we shouldn't try, but it's going to take some understanding when it comes to verification processes and such.
You're so full of shit your eyes are brown. Anyone who paid his workers twice the going rate would go bankrupt. How can you pay them twice the market rate if your company doesn't earn twice the market rate?
Anyone who paid his workers twice the going rate would go bankrupt.
Perhaps in Canada. Name one company in the US that went bankrupt because they paid their employees twice the going rate. In the US, how do you tell when a business owner is lying? When she/he tells you they're not making any money.
How can you pay them twice the market rate if your company doesn't earn twice the market rate?
Who says I don't? I don't pay for the leasing and maintenance of 300 pieces of equipment because I own the leasing company. I don't pay for supplies from two of the three supply companies because I own the suppliers. I'm the only company that provides on-going maintenance of towers as well as provides leasing of space which pays VERY WELL.
Wow.. helluva business model.... I'm a CPA and have seen many business people "not make any money". That's where I come in. And you charge twice the market rate? That's like saying you sell Cheerios for $8 and Winn Dixie sells them for $4 and you sell just as much.
I wanna know your secret cause you just blew the notion of competition right out of the water!!!
dude, our capitalists should pay the finest tax rates money can pay.
They do. Our corporate tax rate is 40%... the highest in the world.
did you miss the one about a company ceo taking a pay cut but giving his employees a pay raise to the company minimum of $70k?
I didn't miss it. Such a sad story. Took the poor guy all of 3 months to fail.
The Sad Saga of the $70,000 Minimum Salary Company
Clearly, the entrepreneur acted impulsively, didn’t think things through, and, ultimately, he and his employees may pay a steep price for it. There are some very good reasons why none of you should even think about trying this sort of move at your own company today, tomorrow, or ever.
For one thing, it incentivizes the wrong employee behavior. Price lost some of his best people over his move and I can see why. An entry-level new hire who just clocks in and out is suddenly making almost as much as a veteran supervisor who busted her hump for years only to be rewarded with a miniscule raise.
Leveling the playing field all at once as he did breeds resentment and virtually eliminates the merits of meritocracy. You simply can’t raise the minimum salary that high without it having a negative ripple effect throughout the organization. You just can’t.
Nobody pays tax rates. Not even you.
It's not bloviating, it's being factual. E-verify is a great tool... but in California, they passed a law in 2011 to prohibit requiring employers to use it. Liberals argue it violates rights to privacy. So IF we're going to get tough on companies who hire illegals, we need to get our ducks in a row on this...we can't enforce the laws when liberals stand in the way and reject our measures.
Because immigrants are usually desperate people looking for a better life? Oh, modern day nazi. Probably won't be needed? LOL.LOL. Immigrants do more then just that bub. Sure, like a wall will stop immigrants, and you want to deport millions of human beings.. What, do you want land mines?

Yes I do.

Why don't we just cut off their heads? That would do the trick, eh?
The Supreme Court would call your plan "cruel and unusual." It would be unconstitutional, in other words.

Illegal Hiring Is Rarely Penalized
The Bush administration, which is vowing to crack down on U.S. companies that hire illegal workers, virtually abandoned such employer sanctions before it began pushing to overhaul U.S. immigration laws last year, government statistics show.
Between 1999 and 2003, work-site enforcement operations were scaled back 95 percent by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, which subsequently was merged into the Homeland Security Department. The number of employers prosecuted for unlawfully employing immigrants dropped from 182 in 1999 to four in 2003, and fines collected declined from $3.6 million to $212,000, according to federal statistics.
In 1999, the United States initiated fines against 417 companies. In 2004, it issued fine notices to three.
The government's steady retreat from workplace enforcement in the 20 years since it became illegal to hire undocumented workers is the result of fierce political pressure from business lobbies, immigrant rights groups and members of Congress
Illegal Hiring Is Rarely Penalized
EVER HEAR OF EVERIFY?
Few use feds' simple tool to verify legal workers
Called E-Verify, the online government program uses records from the Social Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security to instantly check an employee's legal status after being hired. When word gets around that an employer uses the program, illegal immigrants stop applying, experts say.
...The program has run into strong opposition from business groups that say it creates an administrative burden. But experts say the real reason is that E-Verify makes it harder to hire illegal workers.
The debate over E-Verify has put local conservative groups in a tricky position: They oppose illegal immigration, but they support businesses that rely on illegal immigrants
BIGGEST CHEERLEADER? RIGHT WING CHAMBER OF COMMERCE!
Few use feds' simple tool to verify legal workers
GOV'T HANDOUTS HUH? You clueless freaking idiot!
He has no competition in his imagination.

Only Obama is worse.
He has no competition in his imagination.
That also explains his illegally low tax rate.
I have competition. I use their weaknesses to promote my business.
Again, nobody pays tax rates, not even you.
How do we do that when liberals whine and moan over rights to privacy and anything that could resemble "profiling" in the workplace? So do they ask Pedro for his green card because he looks Mexican or has a Hispanic last name? Do they require all Latinos to prove citizenship as a condition of employment? How exactly do we ensure companies can comply with the law?
So we impose a $10M fine and 20 years in jail for every illegal they knowingly hire-- as long as they can say they didn't know, what damn difference does it make?
More bloviating.
If an employer used as an example, e-verify, and the employee past, then they didn't knowingly hire an illegal worker. No profiling involved.
It's not bloviating, it's being factual. E-verify is a great tool... but in California, they passed a law in 2011 to prohibit requiring employers to use it. Liberals argue it violates rights to privacy.

Writing of 'you are wrong,'
How would you undo the deregulation of the HMO act which eliminated real competition in the healthcare insurance industry?
How did Henry Ford justify doing something similar in the early 1900s?
I don't know but the time to argue vociferously in favor of the CEOs plan seems to be over now. This is what is wrong with Socialists... they can never admit when their ideas fail.
Go read the article I posted and stop arguing this was a good idea... it FAILED!
ONLY in right wing world could losing 2 right wing employees OUT OF OVER 120+ , INCREASING BIZ BY 75% BE CONSIDERED "FAILING"

TWO out of 120 employees sound like you bubs, right winger
