In Europe True – but is it in America?

“In 2012 Spain’s then health minister, Ana Mato, announced a crackdown on foreigners who had paid no tax but used the health service—at a cost of almost €1 billion ($1.25 billion) to the Spanish state. Another senior member of the governing party accused the British Foreign Office of publicising the availability of treatments not offered by the NHS on Spain’s health service. France, too, has tried to limit some British expats’ access to its heavily subsidised health insurance system, though Britons of retirement age or over can still use it.” -- Britons in Europe, The balance of ailments, Britain imports young, sprightly migrants and exports creaky, old ones, Nov 29th 2014 | LLORET DE MAR ECONOMIST

A lot on non-sense is asserted about immigrants to America, but the reality is in Europe among those who are retired – American Retired go to Mexico at the same rate Mexican workers come to the States.

“According to a recent study by researchers at University College London, the average recent migrant to Britain from within the EU is in his twenties and costs the National Health Service (NHS) less than the average native.” Nov 29th 2014 | LLORET DE MAR ECONOMIST

Britain has no legitimate basis for complaining about immigrants – they contribute more than they consume.  INTERESTINGLY, all research seems to show the same reality exists in the States.  All the bad and nasty immigrants are contributing to the tax and social security system at a disproportionate rate.

Immigration?  Robbin William's 1984 film "Moscow on the Hudson" deals with Reagan Era two years before Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986.  A nation of immigrants was not a problem for Reagan, but it is for the new Tea Party generation.  Of course the film points to the reality, new immigrants are everywhere.  More important, when it comes to the idea that they are taking American jobs -- they have college degrees, master's and doctorates but are washing dishes.  Tea Party Republicans believe native Americans aspire to be dishwashers.
Forget that it is a movie, think about the Tea Party Republican assertion that immigrants take jobs from Americans: first identify a SPECIFIC JOB and the employer; then the immigrant who took the job; then the American with the same qualifications and area of nation who wants that job. POST the specific data: if the American is qualified, exposing the employer on social media can get them, or another American Citizen, the job. However, if facts show slander of the firm, and that the alleged American does not exit, a severe penalty shall be imposed upon the poster.  Failure to post specifics will also reveal the one making the assertion to be be both dishonest and anti-American -- their goal being to undermine the economy and nation.
