TV ad (see below) runs through May 9thSenate Committee Mark-UpTexas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas The immigration bill is good for the U.S.The immigration bill is bad for the U.S. It all depends on who you talk to or which study you believe. And the American Action Network (AAN) a Republican aligned issue-advocacy organization that is backing immigration overhaul with a super PAC and a Hispanic outreach arm has increased its current cable television ad buy from $300000 to $500000.
Advocates say the Senates pending immigration bill will give the economy a shot in the arm opponents counter that low-skill immigrants cost taxpayers more than they or their U.S.-born children can repay over many decades.
The stimulus aspect is important for the controversy partly because advocates are looking for ways to offset the publics worries about the cost of importing 30 million immigrants into an economy with 20 million unemployed or underemployed Americans.
The American Action Network with a super PAC and Hispanic outreach arm the Hispanic Leadership Network(HLN) increased its current cable television ad buy from $300000 to $500000 the group confirmed to Congressional Quarterly-Roll Call.
The additional investment will be plowed into a national buy on prime-time cable television targeting programs with high percentages of conservative viewers. The AAN also planned to run its spot Sunday morning during the Fox network broadcast of the public affairs show Fox News Sunday."
The ad (see below) is scheduled to run through May 9 when the Senate Judiciary Committee is due to begin marking up the Senates gang of eight" immigration overhaul bill.
Any economic boost would also be important because it would contradict the Heritage Foundations May 6th estimate that the legalization of 11 million illegal immigrants would cost Americans $6.3 trillion over the next five decades.
A 2012 Cato study predicted a $1.5 trillion boost to GDP over 10 years. But conservatives have tended to favor dynamic scoring in the past something the Heritage study doesnt do.
Other advocates for the bill include progressive libertarian and industry lobbies. Advocates say the Senates pending immigration bill will give the economy a shot in the arm but opponents counter that low-skill immigrants cost taxpayers more than they or their U.S.-born children can repay over many decades.
A report by Doug Holtz-Eakin the director of the right-leaning American Action Forum says the bill would provide a 10-year $2.5 trillion increase in tax revenue for the federal government and boost per-capita income by $1700 by the end of the decade.
The Center for American Progresssays the immigration bill will pump an extra $832 billion into the economy over 10 years. Thats roughly a 0.5 boost to the nations $15.7 trillion economy.
A 2012 Cato study predicteda $1.5 trillion boost to GDP over 10 years.
Advocates also lauded the Congressional Budget Office which said May 2 it will use dynamic scoring" to assess the bills impact on economic growth.
The Congressional Budget Office has found that fixing our broken immigration system could help our economy grow and a proper accounting of immigration reform should take into account these dynamic effects" said a guarded May 6 statement from the office of Rep. Paul Ryan chairman of the House budget committee.
The CBO has yet to release it estimate of the bills impact but warned that those analytical changes would probably have only a modest impact on the estimated economic effects of changes in immigration policy."
An infusion of low-skill immigrants will grow the economy because more people will be working and producing more value said Derrick Morgan Heritages vice president of domestic and economic policy.
But the important test he said is whether it raises the after-tax personal income of Americans.
The addition of the 11 million low-skill illegal immigrants wont increase Americans per-capita income said Heritage officials because low-skill workers no matter who they are consume far more in benefits than they create and lower per-capita income.
What the amnesty proponents are saying is that they can take someone from Mexico and Guatemala with a 10th grade education plunk them into that welfare system and somehow miraculously that individual is going to pay more in taxes than they take out in benefits" study author Robert Rector told reporters May 6.
That is not only untrue it is just profoundly implausible" he added.
