More than twice as many elite people (57%) say mass immigration is good, compared to ordinary average people (25%)

Are we talking 13-minute elites or you 15-minute Jamin-type elites?

Those elites will be the first to go when Islam takes over Europe in 2050.

They won't be going anywhere. However, they won't have their heads anymore.

cheap labor is why

My thoughts exactly. Mass immigration won't threaten their management job at the investment firm, but it will allow them to pay their nannies less.

That's because elites are not paralyzed by irrational fears like idiots are.

It is human nature to blame ones failure externally (on people who are different) than to accept personal responsibility for ones failures.

Why do people who aren't meaningfully contributing get to decide who comes in and out? I'd rather have a hard working Muslim than a cuck who whines the system is rigged.

You see the contrast in Trump vs Muslim Hussein. Trump plays golf at 15x the rate as Obama, and he wears makeup. He is accelerating the decline in toughness of the forgotten man and the rise of Muslims.

WRONG.

They also hire bodyguards, build walls around their land and, in the case of the richest, purchase their own private islands where they can live in comfort if their country falls apart, thanks to their reckless policies.

Also, the biggest reason for why upper middle class people don't have a good understanding of the problems caused by mass Third World migration is that they live in their affluent, sometimes gated, communities and rarely venture into lower income neighborhoods. It's the poor who have first-hand experience living next to the migrants and experience most fully the joys of cultural enrichment.

The notion that they are sampling the elite brings vast ground for fudging the study. Ignoring that, I'd say that the opinion of the people needs to be taken into account, but the real issue is that changes in the market are generating massive insecurity in the people because their jobs are getting less and less secure and not making progress as corporate bosses send most of the profits to themselves and their shareholders, leaving fewer workers, less pay, and weaker unions. That is what the power brokers need to change.

Boomers are leaving the workforce and dying off. The only way the country will continue to grow like it has (historically) is by adding to the workforce. WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE NOW, CITIZENS OR ILLEGALS, TO FILL ALL THE JOBS.

This is the economy in a nutshell. "Trickle down" isn't going to do it.

In the coming years, machines will be able to perform most jobs better than humans.

The U.N's 2010 Human Development Index had Japan in its top spot for 2030. They have very little immigration, a rapidly aging population and rely heavily on technology to achieve their high standard of living.

We too could take this path; especially if we remove ourselves from the slimy grasp of the globalists and the international banking cartel.

His point was the wealthy elites love immigration because it gives them cheap/free labor.

Agreed.

That will require a basic income, however, and we are light years away from that being realized. Even though that is the biggest issue out there right now. We only have 20-30 years, max, until the machines take over.

Only thing is, how will anyone buy anything when they aren't making any money?

Being an idiot does not include being paralyzed by irrational fears. What irrational fears are you talking about?

The question was 'Do you think immigration has been a positive thing?' not 'Do you think there should be mass/uncontrolled immigration?'.
