Watching CNN a little bit ago interviewing a supporter of Obama DACA program who was making the argument as to why the 2 million or so DREAMers should be allowed stay in America. The case goes like this:
How the DREAM Act helps the economy:
Passing the federal DREAM Act would add a total of $329 billion to the American economy by 2030. This infographic explains how the act provides such a boost to the nation, by granting legal immigration status to 2.1 million young people and incentivizing higher education. The $148 billion in higher earnings that result from DREAMers being able to work legally and achieve greater education leads to increased spending on goods and services such as houses, cars, and computers. This spending ripples through the economy, supporting another $181 billion in induced economic impact, the creation of 1.4 million new jobs, and more than $10 billion in increased revenue.
Now I ask you, how many babies do we abort every year in America? Overall, more than 50 million babies have been slaughtered since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973. What has been the economic impact of that?
If 2 million DREAMers would add that much to the economy how much more would the 50 million babies killed have added?
