    Re: “The Job Machine
    Every immigrationw wave to the U.S. since 1900 has led to recession or depression. The late 1998-2000 wave was the biggest in U.S. history - bigger than the one from 1906-1920. Historical facts do not lie. Here is the history of immigration and recession to America since 1900:

    1906-1920 - Huge wave from Europe - Great Depression in 1929.

    1965 - Ted Kennedy's Immigration Reform Act - Big recession 1973-1981

    1990 - H-1B started - recession 1991-1993

    Oct. 1998 - H-1B caps raised form 65,000 to 115,000 per year - collapse in 2001.

    Apri 2000 - H-1B caps raised from 115,000 per year to 195,000 per year - collapse in 2008.

    The fake "recovery" in the mid 2000's was no recovery - just cheap Fed credit making up for Americans losing their jobs.

    America was built by Americans. Every buildup leads to immigrant takers who come in when times are good, strip the economy, then leave when times are bad - as they are now.

    84% of the current U.S. population was born here. Do you seriously expect us to believe that 84% of the natives live off the work of the other 16% immigrants? Come on, stop being either a liar or delusional. Immigration is a disaster for America.

    China and India don't have open borders. Did I mention they are booming.

    Free Trade caused WW2 - America in the 1920s sold its scrap steel to Japan and England's Rolls Royce sold aircraft engines and factories to Hitler. We all know how that turned out.
