NEARLY HALF of U.S. MEN WHO GAVE UP FINDING A JOB ON OPOID PAINKILLERS.... and still they flood the country with illegals to keep wages depressed





Princeton Economist: Nearly Half of U.S. Men Who Dropped Out of Workforce on Opioid Painkillers




The opioid crisis is growing in America, and it may be the reason many men are dropping and staying out of the workforce, according to a new study.

Nearly half of the men in the U.S. who dropped out of the workforce are on opioid painkillers, Princeton University economist Alan Krueger wrote in a Brookings Institute study released this week.
“The opioid crisis and depressed labor-force participation are now intertwined in many parts of the U.S.,” Krueger wrote in the Brookings Institute study.
Krueger found that nearly half of the men surveyed “take pain medication on a daily basis, and in nearly two-thirds of these cases they take prescription pain medication.”
“Labor force participation has fallen more in areas where relatively more opioid pain medication is prescribed,” he wrote.
Krueger said the men surveyed took painkillers either as a result of being out of the workforce for a prolonged period or because they had a condition that required the use of painkillers and could not work because of the condition.
“The results of this survey underscore the role of pain in the lives on nonworking men, and the widespread use of prescription pain medication,” he wrote. “Fully 47 percent of NLF (not in labor force) prime age men responded that they took pain medication on the previous day.”
He added that nearly two-thirds of the men who took pain medication said they were taking prescription meds.
“These figures likely understate the actual proportion of men taking prescription pain medication given the stigma and legal risk associated with reporting taking narcotics,” Krueger said.
NBC News cites data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics that show the labor force participation rate, comprised of people who are working or actively looking for work, reached an all-time high of 67.3 percent in the U.S. in early 2000.
The labor force participation rate reached a 40-year low in September 2015, dipping to 62.4 percent, as the American economy grew very slowly under former President Barack Obama.
Krueger said the labor participation rate in the past decade declined faster than the decade preceding it.
“The share of non-college educated young men who did not work at all over the entire year rose from 10 percent in 1994 to more than 20 percent in 2015,” he wrote.
The decline roughly coincides with the beginning of the opioid epidemic, when the number of unintentional overdoses from prescription painkillers quadrupled since 1999, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
A survey from NIDA found that 91.8 million people, roughly one in three Americans, used opioid painkillers such as Vicodin and OxyContin in 2015.

The Right Way to Save DACA: Now, Congress Must Ensure that E-Verify Goes National, and That Chain Immigration As We Know It Ends


By Mark Krikorian


The New York Daily News, September 5, 2017,


http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/save-daca-article-1.3471263

President Trump has arranged a soft landing for the illegal immigrants benefiting from President Barack Obama’s unconstitutional DACA program. Now it’s up to Congress to craft a solution for this unique category of illegal immigrants — in a way that doesn’t do more harm than good.

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program might well have ended abruptly Tuesday, by judicial order, since 10 states had threatened to sue if the administration didn’t act — with a deadline of this week. Instead, the nearly 800,000 illegal immigrants will be able to keep their work permits for up to 21/2 more years, as the program is wound down.

Whatever the merits of the individuals involved — illegal immigrants who sneaked across the border or overstayed a visa before age 16 — the DACA program itself is illegal and had to be ended. No less an authority than Obama said in 2011 that enacting what would eventually become DACA “would not conform with my appropriate role as President.”

BLOG: SEE JUDICIAL WATCH ON ILLEGALS VOTING BELOW

But as the 2012 election neared, his aides saw that Hispanic voter registration numbers were below the 2008 level and panicked. So to energize Hispanic voters to go to the polls and vote for an administration that had not delivered on its immigration promises, Obama decreed DACA.

The program provides more than just a two-year, renewable exemption from immigration law; it also results in a work permit, Social Security number, driver’s licenses, access to the Earned Income Tax Credit welfare program and more.

The question now is, What will Congress do with the six-month grace period before DACA permits start expiring?

The DACAs aren’t just the most sympathetic group of illegal immigrants; they’re a special case. Though almost all are now in their 20s and 30s, they grew up here and have developed their identities as Americans. Some didn’t even know they were illegal aliens until they went to get a driver’s license in high school.

So an amnesty for them — and only for them — can be justified as a prudent act of mercy. There’s a lot of support for amnestying the DACAs, even among immigration hawks like Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.).

But any measure considered by Congress would be harmful unless it addressed the two drawbacks of any amnesty.

One, all amnesties encourage future illegal immigration — by sending the message abroad that crime pays, as it were — and they set in motion future increases in legal immigration, as relatives of the amnesty recipients take advantage of the chain-migration provisions of our current immigration program.

That’s why any legislative solution to this problem must include both enforcement measures and legal immigration cuts. Though the President has made a border wall a centerpiece of his enforcement strategy, he already has all the authority he needs from Congress to build one; he only needs some extra funding, which in and of itself would be an insufficient tradeoff for legalizing DACA.

The chief item the President needs from Congress regarding enforcement is to require universal use of the E-Verify program. This is a free, online system that enables employers to check the information they already have to collect from a new hire (name, age, authorization to work) and to ensure he is telling the truth about who he is.

Last year, roughly half of all new hires were screened through the system, but use of the system is still voluntary. Only Congress can make it mandatory, which would be the single most important step toward weakening the magnet of jobs that drew the parents of the DACAs here in the first place.

The second element Congress must 


incorporate in any DACA amnesty is abolition

of the immigration categories that permit 

chain migration of an endless procession of 

relatives. Fully two-thirds of the million legal 

immigrants we take in each year are selected

because they already have relatives here.

After an amnesty for the DACAs, they would be able to bring in their relatives, including the parents who put them in this difficult position in the first place. Cotton’s RAISE Act would, among other things, focus family immigration only on husbands, wives and little kids, ensuring that any DACA amnesty would not create a future surge of immigration.


A stand-alone DACA amnesty would, at least, be legal. But it would be a mistake. These young people must be granted formal permission to stay in a way that limits the harmful

There Is No Such Thing 

As a 'Deserving Dreamer'

There Is No Such Thing As a 'Deserving DREAMer'

Over and over again, from the mouths of politicians in both parties, identity politics purveyors and cheap labor lobbyists, we hear the same refrains about President Obama's 800,000 amnestied illegal alien youths:
"They don't deserve to be punished."
"They deserve protection."
"They deserve the American dream."
Deserve, deserve, deserve.
Over and over again, in countless cookie-cutter op-ed pieces published over the past month, so-called DREAMers have vociferously lamented President Donald Trump's push to eventually undo their unconstitutional five-year reprieves from deportation plus coveted work permits:
"DREAMers like me have flourished under DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). Trump might take it all away."
"If Trump ends DACA, DREAMers like me will return to a life of anxiety and doubt."
"I feel exhausted, I feel frustrated, I feel angry, and in the worst moments, I feel helpless. I feel terrified that at any moment this program is going to be taken away and once again I won't be able to work -- how will I pay my bills? ... What is going to happen to me if I get stopped on the street and I no longer have DACA? What's going to happen to me if I get put into deportation proceedings and I don't have thousands of dollars to hire an attorney to stay in this country?"
"I will lose my job, my ability to finish college, my driver's license, and will be subject to deportation. I am not alone either. Almost one million young immigrants like myself will be affected in the same way and possibly even worse."
I, I, I. Me, me, me. My bills. My ego. My education. My job. My anxiety.
Since when did DACA become the Depression and Anxiety Cure for Amnesty-seekers?
It's this insatiable appetite for collective entitlement that demonstrates the perils of blanket amnesty. Give a privileged political class an inch and they'll take, take, take until feckless public servants give away their country.
The proper response to illegal alien activists demanding that Washington act "NOW!" to preserve their comfort, allay their anxieties and extend their unconstitutional protections indefinitely is this:
Why?
Americans in uniform who've dedicated their lives to defending our nation are struggling to gain access to quality health care they've earned by action, not by accident or circumstance. Imagine their stress.
Five million American young people between 16-34 were unemployed last year and 50 million more are not even in the labor force. Imagine their anxiety.
Hundreds of thousands of law-abiding people from around the world are waiting patiently for their backlogged visa and green card applications to be reviewed. Imagine their frustration.
Why don't their dreams come first?
Nancy Pelosi called on House Republicans to help her "safeguard our young DREAMers from the senseless cruelty of deportation and shield families from separation and heartbreak."
Never has this Bay Area elitist called on House Republicans to join her in shielding native-born and law-abiding immigrant families from the senseless and preventable violence committed by criminals in this country illegally who've caused immeasurable heartbreak for decades in her overrun California sanctuary.
Jamiel Shaw Sr., whose son was mercilessly shot to death by a sanctuary-protected gang member living in outlaw-coddling Los Angeles illegally, administered a bracing reality check:
"You want to talk about families being separated? Try spending your holidays talking to a grave!"
The left-wing DREAM racket is a self-perpetuating political marketing machine. Its primary contribution to American society? Lashing out at how cruel, racist, ignorant and ungrateful the rest of us are for not bowing down before the hallowed angel children of the Obama administration's amnesty program. It's no coincidence that the publicity-hungry leaders of the DREAMer movement are full-time fulminators in government-funded academia, community organizing outfits, immigration law foundations and the grievance-nursing media.
A deserving DREAMer would respect the sovereign right of an independent nation to determine who stays and who goes based on its national interest and constitutional obligations to put its citizenry first.
The deserving DREAMer, in other words, would admit he or she is owed nothing and deserves nothing.
There is no such thing as a "deserving DREAMer."

Still fewer unemployed immigrants
August 29, 2017


Summary: Increase among

participants on labor market

schemes
While the number of unemployed immigrants fell, the number who participated in labour market schemes went up by 1 655 from May 2016 to May 2017, which constituted a growth of 20.5 per cent within this participant group. In total, 36 885 immigrants were registered as unemployed or participants of labour market schemes (i.e. the gross unemployment) in the 2nd quarter of 2017. This constitutes a gross unemployment rate of 8.3 per cent among immigrants (as a percentage of the labour force). This rate went down by 0.5 percentage points from 2016 to 2017. The gross unemployment rate within the rest of the population was 2.4 per cent in February 2017, which was 0.2 percentage point lower compared to 2016.

Open the floodgates of our welfare state to the uneducated, impoverished, and unskilled masses of the world and in a generation or three America, as we know it, will be gone.

Those most impacted are middle class and lower middle class.

Following President Trump’s choosing to make a deal that will give amnesty to nearly 800,000 illegal aliens currently protected by the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, Breitbart News plastered the headline “Amnesty Don” on its front page.

Since Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the ultimate end to the DACA program, under which hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens were given work permits and temporary protected status, Trump has remained unclear on whether he would stick to his anti-amnesty campaign promises or cave to the political establishment.
At his White House meeting with moderates, as Breitbart News reported, Trump is set to choose a legislative deal that quickly legalizes the nearly 800,000 illegal aliens on DACA, without getting any pro-American immigration reforms in return.
Following the report, “Amnesty Don” peaked at the number one trend in Washington, D.C. on Twitter, the social media outlet the President is most known for using.
